Home Sweet Home

I went to Belle's baby shower on Monday. She waited to have a friend shower until the baby was born so we knew what gender to buy for (they didn't find out the gender before the birth) and probably also so she could show off her new baby. She's still got some weight to take off but she's not as big as before, mainly because all the swelling has gone down since she's no longer retaining water. The shower was fun. All the pink and girly presents made me want a girl but I'm sure I wouldn't trade my little boy for all the girls in the world. But more than wanting a girl, the shower made me want a house.

The shower was at the house of one of Belle's friends that I had never met before. She lives over by Jordan Landing and her house is GORGEOUS! Not really the floorplan or anything so much as the way she had it decorated. It must have cost a fortune on top of the expense of the house itself just to furnish and decorate the place. I loved every table, every couch, every picture on the wall, every color of paint. I want a house and I want this girl to come over and decorate for me!

Hubby's been drawing floorplans for houses lately. I think he wants a house as much as I do but we'll have to wait until he's done with school to be able to afford it. I really like the floorplans he's drawn. He's having so much fun with it he's thought about changing his major to architecture but that'll just take longer and then we'll never get a house. Aphrodite has a plan for all of us to buy houses next to each other and share a backyard in 2010. They have a house right now but will want something bigger once they start having kids. So 2010 is the goal right now. Are we there yet...?
