Lacking

Patience
I guess we all lack patience in one way or another. I am generally a patient person. I am struggling with it right now though. First of all, I have a 4 year-old who talks. Constantly. She is not patient. We are both working on it.

Second, we turned in the contract for our house at the beginning of April. We were told we'd hear from the design center within 3-4 weeks. It's been about 7. I am not finding any comfort in the timeline they've given us.

This leads me to the other thing that I'm lacking that is driving me absolutely crazy.

Space
There's five of us in two bedrooms. No playroom, no family room to hide toys in. We are literally spilling out of the closets. No room looks tidy because there is no space to put anything. Once upon a time, I was a neat and tidy person. I want that person back. Here comes patience again...I can't wait to have closets, , a playroom, a garage; room to put things out so I can sort through them and actually do something with the piles.

I took my sister down to show her the model that matches our floorplan. While we were there I checked out a new model home they've just finished. I didn't love the floorplan but the color scheme, cabinets and carpet were closer to what we'll be going with in our home. I was excited to see it put together. It helped me envision our home a little better.

I'm excited! I'm doing my best not to have a particular date/time of year in mind for our moving day...at the rate we're going it could be January. Still, it's closer than it's ever been, and we're happy!
