Hair

I cut off all of my hair. I love it!! Here are some pictures of my new do!

Staking out our own peice of the world.

Hello all!
I was recently in Nashville, TN to look for homes. David and I, of course you all know this, are going back to Ft. Campbell.
We found a great home. 1500+ sq feet. 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 bath, formal dining room, 2 Car garage, and a nice sized backyard all for 129,900!!
This home is in the same neighborhood as Richard and Lauren, so it will be nice to be so close!
We put in an offer and it was accepted, now pending inspection, appraisal and financing it is ours!
We were pre-approved, but that doesnt mean that we will get the loan. So keep us in your prayers. I didnt take very many pictures of this trip, but when I have more time I will add them!

Insomnia

As of this moment it is 5:17 am. I went to bed at midnight, only to lay in bed for 5 hours. What the heck is going on? I haven't been getting to bed at a decent time for days...Since David left to be exact. Its not like im not tired. In fact, im exhausted. I just cant actually go to sleep.
Morning comes quick with Ashlyn, and I regret every night that I stay up so late. When I do stay up, Im a little more cranky than normal and I feel bad that Im that way near Ashlyn.
I know I should be in bed still trying to sleep, but I can only lay in bed for so long. Maybe the new sleep is lying quietly and restfully in bed? I guess we'll see.

A tad of an update

I hate the way these pictures post up!!!!
Anyway there is Ashlyn with her sized pumpkin.
We went to Garibaldi's with Brooke today.
Shes my upstairs neighbor, pictured below. Anyway so after that I had to pick some stuff up at Walmart and this little pumpkin, for my pumpkin, was only 78 cents! couldn't pass it up.
Maybe I will make pie with it after its done being decorative.
So, Ive been doing really well while David is gone and Ive actually gotten out of the house this time. Every day in fact. All is well and I will be traveling home on Monday evening to visit my mom and look at homes in Ft. Campbell.
Im bringing an awesome friend, mentioned previously in my posts. Crystal. She is going to help me select from the homes, because David is not available to do so.
I hope you enjoy these pictures.

Thoughts on David being away.

Hello All!
Im excited to report that last night was the first night I have ever spent alone! Usually when David leaves I go home to my mom's or I have friends stay the night, or I stay the night with them.
Last night I did well! I kept Ashlyn in her room, and I slept in my bed. I, of course, kept the bedroom doors open to hear her.
I admit, I didnt fall asleep until after 3 am, but the point is that I can do it! My mind runs over every possible bad situation that can happen, which gets pretty scary!

Onto something else...I am indeed traveling home to look at houses while David is away.
A good friend of mine, Crystal, is coming out with me to be my voice of reason.
We all know that I am impulsive. (what me impulsive...no....) So shes coming to talk me back into reality. Wish me luck. This is a big decision, and after much prayer, a decision that feels right.
Ill post pictures of the home we choose!

Some thoughts on todays world.

Life is hectic. I think everyone may be feeling the pinch of the Stock market ups and downs. I'm not feeling it by my money, just my thoughts.
I can't help but feel like we are making a mistake trying to buy in today's market.
My sister, a real estate agent, assures me not to worry. I trust her. She is fabulous.
I hope that our economy will stabilize soon, for everyone's sake.
I'm starting to not be able to sleep at night, for fear of the unknown.
I mean you can only read so much about buying a home. My mind is constantly running over the process. ack!! its crazy.
Maybe blogging will help me sleep at night. David can only stand so much of me talking about the same thing 1,000 times!!!
So be prepared. There is more to come!
