I was verbally tagged.

10 years ago:
I was fifteen. I had just turned fifteen. I was four days shy of meeting my first love, I was innocent, but thought I was badass. I lived in Guntersville, AL and was in the eighth grade. I put on skits at my church with the drama team. I had short hair and was struggling with my identity.

5 years ago:
I had just turned twenty. I worked at Outback Steakhouse and had my own apartment atop Red Mountain. I loved running during the day on Vulcan Trail before work, hanging out at Loco's after work, and Movie nights on Tuesday nights with my friends. I thought I was the coolest person in the world. I had just adopted a cat I named Marley. I was about to break up with my boyfriend of three years.

1 year ago:
My husband and I were fresh newly weds. He started working at the Veranda and I stayed at home with my daughter. I was starting the struggle of pottytraining her. We added a dog to our family named Piper. We were preparing for our son, Guntram, and excited about his arrival in the fall.

Yesterday:
I went to a departure party for my pastor. I went to a birthday party my girlfriends had for me. I received sock yarn, earring sets, and a $75 dollar gift card for In the Making, a lys. My friend made me a delicious three layer German chocolate cake that I can't wait to go home and have more of. I went home and put my children to bed and watched all the Sunday night HBO shows while cuddling with my Husband.

Today:
I took my daughter to school, booked it to work. Went to a craft store for lunch with my friend Bonnie, bought sock knitting needles. I can't wait to go home and knit/ play outside with my kids, and eat cake:)

Tomorrow:
I will go to work, knit, the plumber is coming to fix my sinks. I plan on doing laundry one of these days. I will continue my diet (hopefully).

1 year from now:
I would like to have a career path. I would like to be more profitable with Primerica. My husband will be halfway through school. I don't know if we will be in the same place, but I would like to be more secure financially.

5 years from now:
I would like to own my first home, in a neighborhood where we will stay until our children graduate. My husband and I will be settled in our careers and I would like us to have music made together by then and possibly doing shows a few weekends a month. I also would like to have created a strong part time business with my handmade jewelry and hand knits, and built up enough paintings for regular art shows. Physically my husband and I may discuss options for another child since my IUD expires this year. I want to be healthier and making better decisions as far as intake goes and more active than I am now. I want to have knitted a sweater.

10 years from now:
I will have a teenage daughter. My son will be ten. I would like to be financially able to take a yearly vacation out of the country and either own or searching for a vacation home. I want to start making plans to retire within the next 20 or 25 years for both my husband and me. I want to be in the same home. Physically I do not want to have to struggle with what to eat, and have eating healthy merely an afterthought, as well as getting enough exercise.

cheez-its, cantaloupe, shaved ice, pop ice, m&m's.
