Groundhog Day

Ok it is Valentine’s Day but it feels like groundhogs day.

Yesterday a pic popped up in my FB feed from this day 7 years ago. Back when we were here in Chapel Hill, living in limbo in the townhouse while waiting on our house.

That time in the townhouse felt like FOREVER and I remember being so ready to get into our house and start our “real life”. Funny… we were in that townhouse for 3 months.

And here we sit waiting on a house again. Only now it has been 7 months. We keep getting texts saying “I want to see house updates! Kitchen cabinets going in? You moving in soon? Why haven’t you posted anything new?” Because, nothing new to post. Seriously questioning why we do this to ourselves. And why we keep hitting delay after delay. I want to unpack, I want to get my stuff out of storage, I want my big kids to be able to come visit and not sleep on the couch. Nothing sucks more than having beautiful weather for weeks and zero happening at the house.

But this is what we signed up for. And I am trying to enjoy right now instead of wishing it was the future.

Patience is not my strong suit.
