Tough day.

Today Austin left. It was extremely hard for us all to say goodbye, so instead we told him see you soon! Because we will. It is sad how much he is going to miss out on, but we will make sure that he gets double the fun when he gets home. Luke knew something was up. He was not like him self at all today. Very fussy. It made me sad. Austin cried, and thats when the tear fest began. I knew we all would. It was so hard, but I know his safe returning will be here soon, and he will have lots of love and people waiting for him. Rory said he wouldn't cry. I knew that was a lie. As soon as they hugged good bye Rory turned to me teary eyed. I can not blame him. It was so hard. I am really going to miss his twisted sense of humor and the laughs he gave everyone who was in the room with him, but I know he will be making the troops and people of Afghanistan laugh, and they need it most. Austin is a brave, couragous, strong, hardworking, confident Marine, and I know he is going to be okay. I can not wait for baby Logan to meet him. This seven months will be long, but his safe return will be here. God bless our Troops and every thing that they do for us.
