    5 years ago, I was 26, having fun with my girls being single. 10 days later on 9/2/06 (while out celebrating single life) I met the love of my life and now DH...:) 5 years from now we hope to have all of our adoptions finalized and trying to be the best parents we can be. I also hope that we have more land purchased to build our forever dream home that we are planning in 10 years.

    5 years ago, I was 27.  I just got my first teaching contract after being an RN, and was enjoying the change.  I was with my idiot ex-boyfriend and was a year away from getting pregnant with DS and buying my house.

    5 years from now, I hope my student loans are all paid off, we have 1 or 2 more kids and I am no longer teaching in my current assignment.  I would also like to be in the planning stages of getting a new house.

    5 years ago I was seperated from my DS's father and filing for divorce... shortly to move out of the city where we lived (Oct 1 5 years ago) Needless to say it was a hard time but was the beginning of the wonderful life I have today.

    5 years from now I expect to have 2 more children (1 is already on the way) and hopefully by then being in our home and working in ministry.

    sarahbabs    September 8, 2012   NYC, wedding in the Hudson Valley

    Five years ago I was at the end of a 4.5 year relationship - I knew it and was just getting up the courage to dump him!  It was rough, because we had an apartment together, but I knew it was the right choice, so I talked to my BFF (now my MOH) more, because she had always hated him and was very supportive about breaking up :) I had graduated from U of M a few months before, and was working at a small law firm in Michigan as a paralegal, and trying not to procrastinate on my law school apps.

    Five years from now I'll have been married for almost four years, have an adorable little baby, and be well on my way to making partner at my big firm in the city :)  My lovely husband, baby and I will have a great condo with a terrace (and a hammock!!!), and I will be tired and a bit frazzled at times, but as happy as a clam!

    Let's see... five years ago, I just learned our company was being merged and i had 1.5 years till they were letting me go, I was engaged to ex-FI/db, and I had just moved back home. 

    Five years from now, I'll be working at yet another new company, living in a different state,  breaking even after selling the house i'm sitting in, married to FI, and raising kids.

    Five years ago I was 18 and had just started my freshman year of college.  I had been with my now husband for about eight months.

    Five years from now I'll be 28.  We hope to have maybe two kids by then, a house, and to have traveled a bit more.  As of right now I'm not sure of my career path but it looks like I'll hope to have completed an Associate's in Hospitality and to have started a small catering business with my brother that I can run out of my home.

    Five years ago: I was 18 years old.  I was in a bad relationship of 3.5 years that would last only a month more.

    Five years from now: I hope that FI and I are finally settled in new careers.  Possibly have a child or one of the way.  Ah, that'd be nice.

    doily    March 2012   Iowa

    Let's see, 5 years ago I was in college. I was with Mr. D, and living in the dorms with my friends. Mr. D had graduated and moved across town. I was only a sophomore and wondering what I was going to do with the rest of my life. I was so young and naive.

    In five years I hope to be working for a non-profit organization that I love, heavily pregnant with one of Mr. D's babies, and hopefully fostering some wonderful children with the hopes of adopting them.

    TankGirl    September 22, 2012  

    Five years ago I was in college and getting ready for my semester abroad in Spain, where I learned a lot and partied almost as much as I learned, saw a lot of really awesome stuff, and started dating a really sweet guy who I had no business dating at all, let along long-distance. Oh my god.

    Five years from now, I'll have my master's degree, have been married for almost four years (is my math right?? that's crazy), hopefully have some good time under my belt in a great job, and the boy and I will probably be about ready to rent out the current house and move into a new place! And the kitten we just got will be five. Hee.

    This thread is great, love it.

    flutterbi    June 30, 2012  

    5 years ago I was clinging to a horrible abusive relationship I didn't know how to end (would finally end it for good almost a year later after almost 7 years together). Living in my home city, working on my undergraduate degree part time and working at a job where I was treated like crap by the business owner who believed he was a dictator. Only good thing was my animals whom I adore. I had no idea there was still excitement in life and new adventures in life in store for me in the next few years.

    5 years from now, living in California (where I am now) with a good job after finishing my MBA (4 more months of classes...phew!), happily married to an amazing man who is the love of my life. Hopefully we'll own a home and have child by then. Still with the animals and hopefully even add some more to that part of the family.

    Five years ago I was 28 and single with no prospects and in a dead end job that I was about to be laid off from. Since then I went to grad school and got my masters, moved to a new city and state, got a new (and great!) job, and met my fantastic fiancé.


    In five years from now I will be married, hopefully have 1 or 2 kids, and be living back near my family in house we custom built.

    P.S. Great thred - it is truely amazing to look at where I was 5 years ago to where I am today, let alone in another 5 years. Only things in my life that are the same now is my car, my animals and the bed I sleep in and my bedroom furniture. Seriously EVERYTHING else has changed. And I'm sooooo much happier for that!

    MissSawyer    September 1, 2012   Toronto, Ontario

    5 years ago I was in my final year of college, about to graduate and try and find a job in my field. I was studying hard but partying pretty often with friends and working part time. I didn't know my fiance yet, was casually dating but pretty much failing at any relationships.

    5 years from now I will have been married for just about 4 years and will probably be pregnant with or just had our second child (God willing!) we will also most likely be in search of or building ourselves a new home. I hope to be at a job that is a shorter commute from home but would still be happy at my current location with 8.5 years of experience under my belt.
