Patience is a virtue?

They say patience is a virtue. I'm trying to remember that in my search for a house to buy. The hardest part has been waiting for God's timing and my timing to match up. I want to find the perfect place that fits me, a roommate or two, and offers a location that is convenient; however, none of that is working out. im trying to take all the right steps to prepare myself: getting a new credit card, looking online, saving money, etc. i just want everything to turn out right. part of that is accepting that even if everything goes completely wrong, i'll still be okay.

the good news is, mom and dad bought a pontoon boat! the summer is going to be legit. we picked it up today. i dont think my dad can hide his excitement. he is already planning on fishing everyday on his lunch break. love his heart. i plan on getting my kayak out as soon as possible. Blue Steel misses the open waters. :)

ohh so pretty...

i finally finished my room! its orange and amazing. i still lack shelves, and a big huge comfy chair to place in front of my window, but other than that, it is finished. I want to find some retro looking shelves to put above my bed and put trinkets and antique-y hipster things on the shelves to make it look like a display room in IKEA. pretty stoked about it. here is a picture of my room as it curently is. doesnt it look soo awesome with the gray walls? i just lay in bed and stair at the walls. (that statement makes me sound crazy, but i promise i do so with a smile on my face).

along with redecorating my room at my parents house, i've been consumed with looking for a house to purchase. its so freaky to be looking for a house to BUY. its official: i'm old. i'm graduating from college, looking for a full-time job, and moving into a home that i'm BUYING. so weird. graduation is drawing near though! ahhhh

maybe something more exciting will happen that i can write about tomorrow :)
