Nick called the other day to say he is settling into his new home and has two roommates. The first thing he did was buy a TV. A 46-inch, HD, flat-screen TV. So my initial reaction was something along the lines of “are you crazy?!” He knew I’d react like that so he prepared himself. And he reassured me that he would be able to store it if and when he gets deployed. He said he was told he is staying at his base for at least a year. I know he hasn’t spent much of his earnings, but still.  Did he have to get such a huge  TV? It makes me nervous. I don’t want him throwing his money around. On the other hand I feel he deserves to spend some of his earnings. I supposed I should have been more excited, but my initial reaction in big purchases is always concern. Besides I only have a 32-inch TV.

    That was my mom’s initial reaction to mine and my husband’s big TV purchase. We made sure we had everything for the baby we needed and then he bought me a laptop and camera and himself a tv and computer…my mom thought we were crazy spending that much money, but it was all definitely worth it.
