I can never remember how far along I am. I finally wrote the weeks on my calendar so I at least have somewhere to go look! How different from the first time around!!!! Tomorrow morning Luke leaves for Montana for his parents 40th wedding anniversary party. It will be a long QUICK trip, which is why the kids and I are opting to stay home. During the summer Luke is very discouraged from taking time off work by his company (not that it seems to stop the other employees, but that doesn't mean Luke wants to be that kind of employee.) Anyway, so he will be leaving in the morning nad hopefully make it there by dinnertime (with one stop for us in Billings...when you live 2 hours from anything you HAVE to make use of the time you are in a city!). He will get to spend the evening with his family and then go to church (his dad is a pastor) in the morning. The party is at 1:30pm and he'll be headed home as soon as that is over. I wish it was not during the summer and that we could make a trip out of it, but I guess that's how life goes. Meanwhile, the kids and I plan to hold down the fort at home. We do have to get our bountiful basket at 10am and thats about our only plans! We are going to make the most of the weekend, even if daddy is gone! Life has been a little less hectic lately, but, interestingly enough, I actually feel more stressed. We have been playing outside a LOT and having a lot of friends over during the day. It's been so fun. I am co-directing VBS with another gal, and that has been a little different than last year. It seems to be coming together, but as always, I'll be glad when it's over! I am starting to hit that "third trimester fatigue" that I've actually never had in previous pregnancies...but now I am experiencing. By evening I'm usually totally wiped. I'm sure part of that has to do with being outside in the mid-80s for several hours a day!
