whirlwind

Lately I have become quite the whirlwind. Just when our life is all settled I get an idea (or five) and unsettle everything. My poor husband. Thankfully he is so sensible and wise or else I would never stay grounded. See, were on this track to get our Nursing degrees and sometimes its really frustrating how lengthy this track is and how patient I have to be. Its discouraging knowing that im doing everything to get there, but still feel like im not being propelled forward. At the same time, I feel like if we pursued all my silly ideas we would be living out of our means. Financially, yes, but more so "purposefully". I have the strongest desires to own a home and have a baby, but I know that isnt our purpose for today. Hopefully in a while, but today no. If we gave into these desires tomorrow we would probably feel like shell people. We'd have all these "things" but there would be no heart in it because it wasnt right for now. So I decided, im going to have to celebrate the little mile markers along the way to get through this time. Thats why I love my husband. He is so good at showing me these truths, but making me feel like they were my own revelations ;)

One great thing we learned from this is that we DO need to start saving for a home. Like, yesterday. If were gunna start doing that, then technically we are now "living out of our means". This super cute condo doesnt serve our new purpose, soooo...we are on the move. Yikes. Currently we have 0 prospects but prayfully some will open up :) Isnt this such a great lesson to learn young? Yay
