about me

I'm 28 and live in central Illinois. I've been married to an amazing man for three years. We have a little white dog and just bought our first house! We are also expecting our first child in October. I LOVE design and photography. I'm busy getting my own business up and going. We also do what we can to be a little more eco-friendly.

Fast forward

Tuesday, January 17, 2006

Sometimes my desire to fast forward life gets the best of me. Yesterday I was really down. The kind of down that makes it hard to smile or even talk. I just felt so frustrated about not being able to afford a house right now. Josh and I are destined to live in our apartment for another year. After figuring numbers all afternoon I came to the realization that we'd able to afford a small house...HOWEVER, it probably wouldn't be the house that we'd really want to live in and we wouldn't be spending money on anything else. So now, I'm accepting it. We're going to wait it out in our crappy little apartment because really, a year isn't THAT long.

I just get so impatient sometimes. Like even though I know I have to wait for something, I just don't want to. A house, a baby... But then the next day I'm okay. And today...I'm okay.

kimberly, look at the engraving on my forehead, in case you can't read it from there it states:
"i'm a moron, love everyone, and be patient, one day you will get a house and it will rock, until i come over and wreck it to shreds. wreck it to shreds should be a metal band name, probably one that i'll start, breaking news, i have a side project called wreck it to shreds and we rock."

all of that was engraved on my forehead, wierd. anyway, love ya bye!

oh yeah, the whole reason i was leaving you a comment was that i put a new song up on the Purevolume site. hope you like it!

A moment feels like forever when we are living in it... The toughest times seem to drag on unceasingly.

Yet, we push through, and when we look back, those tough times seem so far away, and there we stand... living in today and enjoying what we have.

It takes awhile to get to where we want to be; where we think we should be. Yet often times, we must pass through the difficulties. In the end, when we reach the place where we wanted to be all along... We can enjoy it all that much more.

You'll be more thankful for that house, the child, the life you wish you had now... You'll be more thankful for it later, realize how truly blessed you are... once it comes, and once you have passed through now.

I know it is tough. Soon enough, your present will be your past, and your future will be today.

Hope that was helpful!!

I know that a house is a big purchase, and that a lot of people think that they really can't afford it, but someone once said to me something that will always stick with me: "When you own a house, you find a way to afford it, no matter what."

I never thought that I would have been able to afford one with my ex, and we did, and before I knew it, I was affording it on my own.

When you guys are ready, you'll know the time is right, even if the numbers don't seem to be so.
