Patience: noun; an ability or willingness to suppress restlessness or annoyance when confronted with delay
Patience is something that I have struggled with my whole life. I think I am a very patient person in my career, but in my day to day life not so much. I just wish I had a fast forward button now and then... nothing wrong with that, right? Anyways....
I so admire George's work ethic and determination.....it actually amazes me. I listened in on one of his review lectures today for a minute, and I just about fell asleep. One word- torture! A few of the words I picked up on: proxy, speculation, defendant, transaction....blah, blah, blah! I do not know how he does it, but I am so proud of him for his drive to succeed. I find myself wanting to hang out, do things together, and just enjoy each other's company. I am doing my best to keep myself busy as to not distract him. So for now, I pray for patience to get us through these next couple of weeks.
As for me.... I think I have been on every rental website known to man at least 30 times in one day. I find myself obsessing over it... like waking up in the middle of the night just to get on my computer and see if anything new has been posted. Ugh, I am so over it. It has been a 'planners' worst nightmare! And planner I am! I like to know everything in advance. We are actually both very schedule oriented people. So, the fact that we do not know where we are going to live in just one short MONTH is pretty agonizing. It is hard, too, because I have such specific requests (granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, open floor plan, backyard, etc). I have to remind myself that this is not going to be our dream home.... just a rental until we learn where we want to buy. We are headed to Nashville Monday to check out some places... wish us luck! But for now, I will continue to pray for patience!
July 30th cannot come soon enough!
