Patience is my weakness

I have been day dreaming a lot recently of what my future could hold.  I am SO impatient right now.  All I want is to be in a more stable situation with kiddos running around, a house with a backyard and what seems like simple amenities, and a little comfort.  I realize it will probably be YEARS before I can have most or all of these.

I would LOVE one of these in our house... especially so David can fit in it and actually get his legs submerged enough for him to relax:
A large tub!

I would also love a full size dishwasher, a washer and dryer, and a stove top that doesn't lean.

I think we all know how much I want one of these:
There is planning in progress for this... yes!!
I would also love one of these:
backyard
So we can have one of these:
doberman pinscher
(Yes, I am warming up to the idea of having a dog)

We are also saving up for one of these:
Or this one (depending on who gives us the better deal when we're ready to buy):

Wow, I am realizing I have a lot of wants!

Don't get the idea that I am not super grateful for the life I have now.  David and I get the chance to grow together and do a lot of learning that would not be available if we didn't have to set goals to eventually achieve the above wants/needs.  I wouldn't trade this time for anything, but I do have my days and moments that I am impatient to stretch my arms and grow.  Today is just one of those days.

I greatly enjoyed this post. I think we are definitely at a similar stage in life right now. It would be AWESOME to have all those amazing things...or even just be able to go to lunch more often :)

I hear ya! I am also wanting those things, minus the baby. :-) Someday I'll want another one. Yes, I am often telling myself to be patient. One day....

Are you on pinterest? It's a good place to bookmark photos of specific things you daydream about (esp. DIY and decorating home stuff). Just enjoy the stage of life you are at before life passes you by and you are always looking ahead to another want instead of reflecting on the things you already have. You have a great husband and a job. Those are two great things. P.S. I know what you mean about the leaning stoves... makes cooking so difficult!
