Super Hero Water Bottle

That's right, ladies & gentlemen.  I'm proud to say that I own the water bottle of super heros.  Namely - Iron Man.  He has a blue one (you'll have to watch for it in the movie).  I have the pink.  You can put messages in the top and mine says "you are cute"...from my husband.  Somehow, I think this is where Iron Man & I differ.

Luke's wife

I see so often that when a couple has children, all of a sudden, their children define their marriage.  Chrystal becomes Elijah's mom, not Luke's wife.  I know there is a love and committment that comes with having children, but what if we had that same thought towards our spouse? 
My last blog before Eli comes will be about my husband, not about my coming baby.  (But I love you, my boy!)
Luke has been so amazing throughout this whole pregnancy.  He has been at every possible appointment, has let me be moody, has made me feel beautiful and taken care of me.  The amazing thing is that he's always been like this!  I'm so spoiled.  I'll admit it.  He pulls around the car for me, opens doors for me, helps around the house, cracks me up, and just makes me feel so loved.  He unknowingly challenges me all of the time to be a better spouse, just by being such a wonderful spouse to me. 
He didn't have the best example as to what a husband should be growing up, but he has broken so many generational "traditions" in the way he treats me.  Our children will know what it is to be a godly man, husband and father, and I am so thankful for that.
Soon our lives will change in so many ways.  New career, new baby...a new life.  I thank God that he's the one that will be beside me through it all.

Rocky Mountain High

BIG questions answered recently!  Not only do we know that Luke will be in Armor for 3 years then move over to Military Intelligence for the rest of his career.  We also know that his schooling will be in Kentucky, start next January and finish next May.  After that?????
Well, we found out today, WE'LL BE COMING BACK TO COLORADO!!!
YAY!  That means that we'll be able to look for houses,

Caleb and Elijah really will be best friends,

AND we'll get to go to Megan's wedding! 

Does that mean we'll scale the Peak again?  Well...give me a few years for that...

I was looking forward to being assigned a new place, but I'm as equally excited to hear we'll be coming back home for just a little while longer!
