I feel like I have sounded like a Wells Fargo commercial lately. Don't get me wrong, I feel very blessed to be in a nice apartment in a great ward. However, it can be difficult, especially when I am awakened at 5:30 in the morning to the sound of our children playing 'Go Fish' in the room that they share (they weren't even using the same deck of cards, it was pretty funny...the next day). So, these are some of the things that keep me going. Someday...a lawn,
Enough matching, pretty dishes to entertain more than 2 people at a time,
And enough counter space to actually cook a complete meal without having to clean up after each step. If I had a kitchen like this, I think I would be motivated to cook a LOT more, wouldn't you?

Ooh. Those pictures are so pretty! Someday ...
(sigh) someday....
oh for sure! someday...
we are house hunting this weekend but I don't think that I will get the kitchen that I want. But, we can all dream right?! someday.
Finally someone who understands! I keep telling Judson if I only had a kitchen like that I would cook elaborate meals for him every night. He doesn't believe me.
I'm glad someone else shares my pain! It will be so wonderful, when the space under my bed is not food storage space!! A big kitchen and a yard...every womans dream!
Big dreams = big disappointments. I'm not normally a glass is half empty kind of gal, but I have resigned myself to accept the possibility that I will never have enough counter space or grass. On the upside...if it ever does happen, I will be very pleasantly surprised (and happy)!!!
But yes...if only!
So true! And how about a place to put that beautiful China you got for your wedding, instead of storing it in the attic so it doesn't get used as a plate for your daughter's baby doll's dinner. Brian doesn't think that we will ever use the China and I keep telling him, "When we have a place to put it and keep it safe...." :)
Hey, you can have our huge lawn! I've decided it's more work than it's worth, at least while are kids are still too young to play outside on their own. Poor Mark could spend untold hours working on the yard and still not having it looking the it could/should. I find myself hoping for a small lawn "someday."
I don't even want to think about apartment life again. Been there, done that, and after having a house, I don't think I could go back! I think you're awesome for making the sacrifice! Go you!
I totally understand. My thing that I'm dreaming about though is a garage, preferably attached. I know I will have "made" it when I get a place with a garage. But in the meantime, I am so thankful to not be stressing about the current economic crisis. Because, hey, we're already living simply!
By the way, I love the pajama story!!
