Houses and a flower

I've done something bad tonight...real bad...I've been looking at houses online. And not just rental houses...houses to buy. Now I know that it's really not the most sane idea for Aaron and I to buy a house because if plans go accordingly Aaron is planning to get out of the Army only 1 1/2 year after we move there. So the logical thing to do is what we have always done...rent. But looking at rental houses compared to the houses that are for sale...starts a fever inside me...a fever that says I want to OWN a house. I know it's just a phase...well maybe not a phase but something I can live without...but at moments like these I don't want to! I'm sure the big decision will come when we get to Campbell and start looking at what is available. If the price is right I think both of us will lean towards buying. We both would love to have our own home...that we are completely proud of! I think next to being close to our families...the thing we are most excited about is getting a house that we really love.

I LOVE to decorate and could spend every spare penny we have on buying stuff for my house...of course Aaron doesn't like that idea. He would like to spend it on hunting equipment and ATVs! To look at my house now though you would never think that I enjoy decorating...but I promise I do and with the right house...I could make it everything that I see in my head! Ok, now I'm positive I'm watching to much HGTV.

Today I got another Mother's Day present. Mr. Logan had created me something at school and since he did not go on Thursday or Friday he didn't get to give it to me. It was waiting on me when I picked him up today. He had made me this beautiful card with a butterfly cut out on it and even PLANTED me a flower. I guess a while back they planted a seed so he actually grew me a flower for Mother's Day. Now I really need Aaron here to keep it alive. I have more of a brown thumb than a green one. Aaron on the other hand can keep any plant alive. He has some that are living with my mom now since we couldn't move them with us. He still...almost three years later...asks her about them. I know he will be excited to get them back.
Isn't this just the cutest thing ever!Well I just laid the boys down and finally I hear quietness...so I'm off to get myself ready for bed and then enjoy a little relaxation time. Then it's off to bed. I woke up an hour early this morning thinking I would get to talk to Aaron but he wasn't online. I had a message from him later today saying that he was sorry and had been super busy and unable to chat. I was bummed...but I understand. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. So honey if your reading this...I'll meet you early in the morning...or late at night for you!!!! So sad that will be the last day of our "scheduled" time. But only about 40 more days till I'm in his arms!!!!!

Looking at houses can be dangerous!!! Also, looking at expensive decorating catalogs is dangerous! :)

Glad you had a good Mother's Day!
