My life is in a holding pattern right now, and while I’m happy where we are, I’m really tired of waiting for things to go through.  I wish there was more I could do to move things along but really, I’m doing all I can do.

First and foremost, I’m waiting on my house hunting days to be over.  I was initially looking for a small condo or town-home to live in for a couple years till we bought a house.  But after experiencing the true “pleasure” of finding and procuring a home, I think I’ll pass on ever doing this again if I can help it.  So we’re looking at good ole’ homes to spend the rest of our lives in.  I currently have 40 houses on my radar, 13 back up offers, and 5 pending offers (waiting for the bank/seller to accept).  I’m keeping my eye out on new properties but really, all I need is a bank to approve my offer (on the house on Ellis if anyone who wants to accept that offer is reading this, PLEASE).

I remember watching movies and TV shows with people buying houses and I don’t ever recall them searching for months, with no luck, to buy a house.  I recall them looking at 4 they like and then buying one.  I guess I don’t recall them changing poopy diapers everyday either so maybe I should stop basing life off fictional entertainment anymore.

The second thing I’m waiting on is my darn engagement ring.  I don’t normally wear rings because I have such skinny fingers, I’m worried it’s going to look weird.  But at the same time, I’m extremely excited that it’s not your typical engagement ring.  Can you say Black Tahitian Pearl?  It’s going to be amazing, and nothing can compare.  Not that it’s better than any diamond, it’s just who else is going to have a engagement ring anything like it?  It would be like trying to compare art from Van Gogh and Michelangelo.  Anyway, my ring should have been here last Wednesday and I am still patiently waiting.

I’m also waiting on diapers and babylegs to be shipped to me.  But when comparing it to a home and a engagement ring, it just seems silly to be too concerned over these.  Althought I am really excited about getting more babylegs.  I hate pants on JD, they’re always too short.

Wouldn’t it be amazing if everything arrived/happened on the same day?  Can you say best day ever?  I can.
