27 weeks

So I am now 27 weeks. Time is flying by. I am so excited for him to be here for us to hold, cuddle, love and cherish. Rory and I set up our room for the crib and all the baby stuff. It just makes it that much more surreal. He is now finding ways to get to my ribs, and I am pretty sure he loves them! He pokes and jabs and pulls at them. I must say, it is painful and annoying, but I can't help but love every one of his kicks. Right now, Austin, Karlee, and baby Luke are down. Austin is here on is two week leave before he is deployed to Afghanistan. Karlee and Luke will be staying here for now, until Austin returns home. This is going to be a tough week, I will admit. I am already dreading Sunday when Austin has to leave. He will be leaving for seven months, which is not to long, but the thought of him gone with out his family by his side, hurts. I am very confident in Austin, though. He is a very brave man with lots of courage, dignity, and self respect and I confide in him for all that he is doing for his country and our freedom. I know he will always return home safely to all of his family here. It will be so incredibly hard to say good bye, but I know he will return with arms wide open from all of us who love him. In the mean time, Austin took Karlee up to Park City for the night, and Rory and I offered to baby set Luke. He is such a good baby! Rory loves him so much, and it is so great to watch these two play and laugh at eachother. Right now, Luke is fast asleep on one side of me while Rory is on the other side sleeping as well. Rory is going to be a great dad. He has opened up so much with all of the kids around here and loves them so much. I love watching the laughs he can get from them. My photography business has been doing great, and I have been packed with shoots and editing. I decided to take this week and weekend off so I could spend time with Austin before he leaves. Austin, Rory, Dj, and Marcus are going paintballing tomorrow, and I know Rory is way excited for that. Rory and I have done some researching on the business we will be starting in the early months of 2011. Hopefully fully opened by feb. of '11. We are not going into to much detail, but we have applied for the loans, and bussiness license. My mom has been helping us a great deal with that. We have been doing so great with money (knock on wood!) and plan on paying off our car in the next five months. That will be a huge relief. Well, better get going to bed! Love you all, night!
