Where do I see myself in 10 years? This question used to be so easy to answer. When I was in high school, I answered with graduated from college, married, have 2 kids, and teaching in my own classroom. Well, 3 out of 4 isn’t bad. Now that I’m 28, the question is harder. I don’t have those BIG milestones anymore. College was such an easy milestone to throw out there. In 10 years, Laura will be on the verge of turning 14 and Warren will be almost 12. I imagine lots of drama with a teenage daughter. I don’t foresee a lot of drama with Warren. Hopefully I will still be working, possibly full-time then. I would like to still be in this house. By then we’d have a deck, the basement is fully finished, and the yard is filled with grass and not just weeds in the backyard. I doubt that I will go back to school for anything. I imagine that Robert will still be working at the university. Peaches and Nat may or may not be around at that point. They’d be pretty old (nearly 17). I’d like to have a dog. As hard as it is to accept, I imagine that my two closest friends will be about an hour’s drive from me, possibly more. Of course, that won’t deter us from seeing each other. :) I hope that we can be taking family vacations, and having the kids see some interesting places that they learn about in school.
Well, I am not going to have the energy for this future if I don’t get some sleep. I work 6.5 hours tomorrow, then I can say book return is over. Good night world.
