Home, Sweet Home

Ya know, just been thinkin lately.... with all these awesome home decor pics I've been tagging, hearing about other people's redecorating ideas/projects, seeing the awesome results, etc. I figured out why I just can't get into it as much as I want to. The why? We don't have a house yet! Sure, we have a roof over our head and for that I've extremely grateful for, not to mention it's a pretty gorgeous place to rent. But it's not ours. Does anyone know what I mean?? 

See.. we had a house. For three years. I spent a lot of time and $$ decorating. Where is it now? Mostly sitting in the cold storage room. I wonder ------> will I use that again? do I still like this? when will I get to dust it off and put it back up? It's just not worth it right now (or the last fifteen months renting here) to decorate how I want to, to truly love the space we're in. So we've kept it simple and have been fine, but as a girl you think about these things. It's just in our DNA. :) 

We still have TWO years before we can even THINK about buying a house again (imposed FHA rules-boo!) and that still sounds soooo far away. Renting has its perks, sure it does. It has been less expensive and I enjoy the company of my family who lives upstairs. But I can feel myself getting caught up in the timing and daydreaming of our future home/rooms. I'm a do-er. I like to run with a great idea and do it fast. Now. Yesterday! Thank you Lord for continuing to grow me in an area where I need it: patience. =) 

I know, I know, I know that God knows and most days I really do rest assured without much thought. But today, I am a little anxious. But my biggest reason of all to find "our" home, is so Brenna has a home to come home to one day. There's just no place like home.
