the beginning.

Let me just start off by saying, I am so incredibly blessed. After 1 sleepless night before, 45 minutes to answer 75 questions and 48 loooong hours of waiting to find out I am officially a registered nurse. The long days and nights spent studying and stressing and crying and gees I'm sure lots else has finally paid off. I officially start to work on February 21st. Can I get an AMEN :)



And so it has begun. I have officially made my first purchases toward remodeling and furnishing my new home :) Here is the vanity I chose for my bathroom
How I came upon this piece is pretty ironic. My sweet boyfriend went with me to Lowe's to try and decide what appliances would work the best for my space and fit into my budget. After hooouuurs and I do mean hours spent comparing stoves and washer/dryer combinations, I found this vanity and I fell in love. Yeah call me crazy but its true. I would much rather furniture shop than buy shoes. Now that's real love right there. It always seems though, that everything I fall in love with is waaayyy super expensive. (Ben calls me high maintenance, I just think I have an eye for pretty things,) This vanity was no exception. The vanity alone was $699 and the faucet that fit so perfectly with it was $279. I lingered for a short moment, but being the practical one that Ben is, he guided me, unwillingly might I add, to something a little more "low maintenance".

Anyways, 2 weeks later when I took my adorable mother back to Lowe's with me to help pick out lighting and paint colors, you'll never believe what I saw sitting front and center. This vanity, holding a big yellow sign that said clearance. They were selling this sweet piece as a floor model, faucet included for...get this..$300. Needless to say she came home with me :)

And now the moral of this story is, good things come in time and with a little patience and lots of prayer, just like a certain special someone I know.... <3
