This year has been the biggest test of my patience. (I am a very impatient person). I feel like I am stuck in purgatory right now waiting on everything. I'm waiting to see if we are able to purchase a house before my husband comes home (which is hard because we never got a special power of attorney, so now he has to find a way to get one signed and sent back to me from Afghanistan). I'm waiting for classes to end so I can start maternity leave; something I need because of the stress I'm under. I'm waiting for my husband to come home... It's all. I. think. about... really it's hard to think about anything else. Of course the other big thing I'm waiting for is the end of October, for my due date! If you are an impatient person too you can probably see why I feel as though I'm stuck in purgatory. I am so so antsy and ready to close on this house that's being redone in the area around the army base and to get the papers we need to get everything finalized; I want to decorate SO bad, nesting sucks when you have nowhere to "nest". My husband told me he hopes that by the time he comes home that I have learned to be more patient with everything. I need to be more patient and here's why...
We have wasted money because of my impatience. When I want something I usually feel like I want it now and I just can't wait (I can but I don't want to). We just bought a car in March because we found out I'm pregnant and I just did not feel safe with my baby, or baby bump, in a small two-door sports car. The same car that we JUST bought is now thousands of dollars cheaper because it is closer to the end of the year. I had no idea that just a few months would make a difference in the price. Granted, I am so so glad to be in this bigger, safer car but I wish I would have waited to purchase the car. I will not be telling my husband about this because he might be a little upset with me haha. Almost everything goes down in price over time and the newest thing is not always the best! This is a lesson I had to learn the hard way. This is just one more thing I've learned on the path to being a real adult.
P.S. I am 28 weeks pregnant today! That is 7 months! We are so close to meeting our baby girl :)
My journey into adulthood and matrimony: learning how to budget, buying cars, buying first houses, and growing a baby all while trying to make crafts and keep the house (and my husband's uniforms) clean.
