Life

Aaron is in the field this week so I might be posting a lot, but trust me they will all be random :)

Let's see what is new... Gabe is walking/running EVERYWHERE now, he hardly ever crawls. He is a big boy! He also has started to climb on/over everything. He is finally putting himself down for naps and bed instead of having to be rocked (well, 90% of the time) and he is still refusing formula. I've pretty much given up on it. He also likes to lay his head on pillows. He has recently become MUCH more cuddly and will crawl up to sit in my lap when I am on the floor, especially when he is tired. He cut one more tooth on the bottom and one on top, so he has 4 total now, but there is another bottom one and three other top ones not far behind!

My brother Kevin finished his leave and is on his way back to Iraq :( I'm so sad we didn't get to see him while he was here!!

Aaron and I are thinking about buying a house in El Paso. It makes me sooo nervous because what will happen if we move later and can't sell it, but it seems like it might be a good plan. The way the housing allotment is near Ft. Bliss we would save a TON of money if we could find a house in our price range close to base. The rental homes cost almost double what our mortgage would be.... plus we'd get 8,000 back from taxes for the first time home buyer. We'll see what happens. I need to plan a time to go look! I still can't believe we are going to live practically in Mexico. Crazy.

We are also planning a trip to Hawaii in December :) I can't wait!!

I decided on the Rebel T1i camera. It's an upgrade to the Xsi. I went to Best Buy yesterday and held the bigger 50d and oh my gosh, it was so heavy. Ridiculous! I liked the T1i much better plus it has a video camera in it, so I can sell our other video camera that we never, ever use. Yay.
