Just had a crazy/freakishly long day at work.
Upon waiting the arrival of my sweet husband I came across an old journal that I wrote in when I was 22 {okay maybe my one and only journal... shhh don't tell anyone}. I randomly read a page in it that was about the future and where I thought I would be 5 years from then. That would put me at 27. I'm turning 26 next month so I found it interesting enough to compare reality with past future dreaming.
I wrote...
Hopefully by the time I am 27 I will be married to a loving husband, have a chubby baby and planning for a second, financially stable, own a cute home, have good health, serving in the Young Womens, not working outside our home, scrapbooking in my free time, and occasionally doing hair.
The truth...
I am married to a loving husband. One point for me! There is no chubby baby but I figure I will only be 26 so I have another year before I can kick myself for that one. Hopefully we will just have twins as planned so that will take care of the second baby. We are doing as good financially as a collage student can be. We live in my in-laws basement...
okay so we are pretty off on that one.
Health is a touchy subject right now, but compared to where I was at 22 I'm leaps and bounds ahead of my game. I have always wanted to have a calling in the Young Womens as funny as that may sound. I don't even know what the title to my calling is because, well it's pretty much made up. Enough said. I am working, but at least I'm in love with my work. I haven't scrapbooked since I graduated High School, and I cut Adams hair at least every month which is quite enough haircuts for me.
Not going to lie...I'm happy I came across this little page tonight.
