I love our future home as in, and could move in and be happy with a couple of inexpensive things for practicality sake. To make it my dream home, it would take thousands and thousands of dollars, because it would include some remodeling, replacing appliances, a possible add on, etc. It doesn't help that HGTV has been very prominent in my viewing lately. (I have been cutting back on that lately, just an FYI for those who are curious.)
I think the biggest part of it, is that I am excited for our new house, and to truly make it our home. Realizing how much everything I want to do is going to cost was quite a reality check. The object now, is to be better at saving money on every day things, maybe picking up some side work, since I will be going full time at my job in June. (It feels like the right time to add some more days to my salon schedule.) Being excited isn't bad. What it comes down to, is becoming more patient in the fact that it will be a process.
Patience has always been a struggle for me. As I have gotten older, my patience level has gotten better. Granted, I still have a VERY LONG way to go, but it has gotten better. Thankfully, I have a very patient man as my partner for the rest of forever. He helps me learn to be more patient, and to be more practical rather than impulsive. I don't ever see myself not being grateful for him.
So, my reality check is helping me strive to better compartmentalize the stress of what I want to do, and plan for the things that we want as a couple. We want to have a lovely entertaining space. It will take time for it to be exactly what we want it to be.
Patience is a virtue I am learning to work on. I am starting to imagine myself as a tree, growing slowly, but becoming beautiful in the process. Though I still have a ways to go to become a big, beautiful tree, I am blooming each year, and growing stronger each year.
All my love,
Shae
