Where were you in your life 5 years ago....and where do you think you'll be 5 years from now?
~~~
I was working for another wedding company, dating my then boyfriend of 6 years, and I probably weighed 50lbs more than I do now!
In five years, it's hard to say of course but I'd hope to be either married or at least in a serious relationship, hopefully still happily working here, and hopefully I will have finally gotten some sort of professional writing done (I have a book and a screenplay idea I'm working on now) or, some small business of my own, as I'm very entrepreneurial. Hopefully still healthy and feeling good as well! 
~~~
How about you?
I was in University, drinking and eating pizza most nights, dating my hubby and I think just had our puppy. We weren't even close to the wedding planning stage yet! In 5 years I will be a mom (hopefully to a couple at least!).
Five years ago I was getting ready to graduate high school and start college. I was dating FI about 6 months, and I was stressed about my senior project!
Five years from now I hope to have my student loans almost paid off and I will have a well established career. Hopefully FI and I will have a lot more done with the house. Babies won't be in the picture for a couple years after
Five years ago I was living in London, living the dream life. Travelling nearly every weekend, working not too hard as a social worker, living for after work drinks on Fridays and Sunday roasts at the pub. I was dating an Aussie (not the one I'm engaged to now!) and had the world at my fingertips. Life was good at 26 without a care in the world other than having fun and seeing as much of the world as possible.
Five years from now, I will be happily married, maybe with a baby or two, and most likely enjoying life as a stay at home mum. FI and I don't know what continent we'll be living on as between us, we have citizenship in Australia, the US, and the UK. We love to travel though so I'm not sure we'll put permanent roots down anywhere. I may return to work as a social worker or teacher as I have qualifications in both but it wouldn't be until the kids are in school full-time.
Yikes, in five years, I will be on the downside of my 30s!
- Five years ago : 30 years old, looking 20, getting a divorce
- Five years later: 40 years old, hopefully still looking 20, hopefully not getting a divorce
5 years ago I was 18 and probably on spring break from my freshman year of college.. I don't think I went anywhere though, so I was chilling in Chicago. 5 years from now I'll be 28 and hopefully having my first kid right around now!
Five years ago, I was drinking way too much in a crappy college apartment, bartending weddings on the weekends, and didn't have a serious boyfriend.
Five years from now, I hope to be a mother of at least one child, maybe going on two. I hope that we move away from New Jersey and are either living internationally or in a far more beautiful place. I also hope that I'll find something rewarding to do part-time that will allow me a creative outlet, but will also allow me to be the focused mom that I want to be!
5 years ago I was 21 and had recently come out of a horrible relationship. I was starting to hang out with friends again and really enjoy life (which I hadn't been doing the past 5 years in that crappy relationship!). I think I had planned ot get out of town after graduation, but didn't know how or where to yet.
5 years from now I'll be living in England and hopefully preggers with our first child! :)
5 years ago FI and I were living in his parents basement counting down the days until April 1st when our apartment would be ready. We had been together for about a year at this point.
If all goes as planned, in 5 years we will be running our software company full time and pregnant with our first and only child.
5 years ago I had just met DH a few months back and was spending all my time with him. I wasnt doing well in school and wasn't all that happy.
5 years from now I hope to be pregnant with or have our first child, possibly own a house and live somewhere completely different than Virginia, the area that I grew up in!
five years ago was in college and DH and i were very early in our relationship.
five years from now, we'll be married for 5 year, hopefully will have a home, i'll be starting a new career or finishing graduate school and maybe....(oh gosh cant believe i'm writing this) be a mommy?
I had just left my career as a Registered Nurse and just graduated with my Education degree. I was teaching grade 7 Math. I was living with my ex, and unsure about what my next goal was. I ended up buying a house and TTC my son that next year. It fell apart shortly after he was born.
In five years, I am hoping my family is complete and we will be in the process of building our forever home. I will have 10 years in, with my career, and should be pretty settled.
Five years ago I was 20 and me and my SO had been dating a smidge over 1 year. We were both in college and I was absolutely loving life (still am, but in a different way), being free, and having wonderful roommates.
Five years from now I'll be 30 and if I'm not married to my SO, there will be hell to pay ;) but I'm sure we will be so let's go with that. I'll be in private practice - hopefully my own - and fully licensed by then. I'd also like to be living in my first house! And... probably beginning to think about thinking about TTC; I want to wait until I'm married 4 years before babies and since we're not getting married in 1 year, I def won't be conceiving in 5 years.
Well in five years I'll probably be working in a job that has nothing to do with my bachelors or masters because they are education degrees and I live in PA and the governor just screwed public education like nobody's business.
My then boyfriend (now husband) and I had JUST moved into our condo that we live in now this month five years ago! I was 25 pounds lighter and still pranced around our condo half naked because I was pretty comfortable with my body. Haha. I was a writer/editor for TV and video production in Sacramento
In five years I hope to still be working in weddings...it's such a SUPER FUN and fabulous industry! I hope to be living in Minnesota, where my husband is from, and I hope that we've survived the rough housing market OK. Our condo is NOT worth anywhere near what we paid for it right now :( I hope we've been able to have sold it for what we paid for it (yeah right). Hopefully we will have decided whether or not we want to have a baby by then...I'll be 34, so maybe I'll be pregnant with our first? Who knows!
Five years ago I JUST started a new job (which I am still at today), and Mr. French Toast and I were no where close to talking about marriage.
We will be getting married next week...and in 5 years...... I hope to move back to San Francisco (currently living in the 'burbs) and possibly a mini french toast will be with us??
wow... 5 years ago I was 12 years old and in the 8th grade haha I lived in California and knew nothing of my now FI's existance.... not much of a life yet.
5 years from now I will be married and have at least one more child (hopefully). I have no idea where I will be because I will most likely be married to a Marine and i hear that life is fairly unpredictable :) I am hoping to become a massage therapist but who knows, I might still be a stay at home mom... :D
wow...5 years ago, I had just left a man who broke my heart on a daily basis, who could not make a commitment and I admit now, was totally wrong for me. I was as miserable as anyone could be. I gave myself a much needed man break, and then my wonderful guy walked into my life. Five years from now? well, I hope we will be in our fully renovated house, running our totally successful business and living happilly ever after.
5 years ago I was 18, living at home, going to school, partying with my best friends from high school, and waiting tables to save up for my car. And I weighed 10 lbs more than I do now--yay for wedding diet/exercise!
5 years from now I'll be married, making more money, hopefully we'll both have our MBAs, and probably thinking about either selling our house, having kids, or both :)
5 years ago I was 22, had been with my BF for a year and had just moved in with him. I was working in a job I hated and was the main earner while my BF finished his studies!!
In 5 years time I will be 32, hopefully we will be married (if he ever actually asks me), own our own place and be having kids! Wow it's going to be a big 5 years!
Five years ago: I was in undergrad, dating my current fiance, living in a town two hours away.
Five years from now: I will be married, finished with my master's degree, and hopefully a mom to at least one child, maybe two!
5 years ago I was still recovering from my divorce (finalized in 2005). I was rediscovering myself again, going out, having fun, and just realizing that I may have had a crush on a boy I wrote to online. He was my dear diary.
5 years from now I hope to still have a crush on that boy. Hopefully we'll be celebrating our 6 year wedding anniversary with our babies by then.
5 years ago, I was 16. Now-FI and I had been "talking" but we wouldn't start dating for another 2-3 months. I was a junior in high school and a very quiet, reserved girl. In another 1.5 years, I would go to college and be scared out of my mind (and ONLY a 1/2 hour away from home), but I would come out of my shell and have a great time.
5 years from now, I will be 26. I will be married, hopefully with at least one child, maybe another on the way. I will be finished with my master's degree and I WILL be an amazing teacher/reading specialist to some wonderful little children. I have no idea where we will be living, but somewhere in a small town in NC/SC :)
5 years ago I was in undergrad dating a guy that was a waste of time and working at Hooters. 5 years from now I hope my FI and I own our own business and can have my student loans paid down a big amount. Not sure if we will still be in our home or a bigger one that will depending on the market. And hopefully I will have a few stamps in my passport from traveling.
Five years ago I was in college, doing the college thang.
IN five years I have no idea, because five years ago I could not have imagined that my life would be what it is now in just five years. My daughter will just be going to school, so hopefully I'll be going back to work. Or, ideally, I'd have gotten off my ass and written a book. LOL.
Yikes, 5 years ago my life was total crap. I lived in this "hippie house" where people were selfish and trashed my stuff. It was a HORRIBLE time. I was doing terrible in school, random people sleeping in my yard, crazy girl roommates. Flying through men. :/
But in 5 years I hope to be starting a family and teaching at University.
Ahhh - 5 years ago I was in my final semester of college, fighting with my ex (we had been together 2 1/2 years at that point), going to Disneyland every weekend, and had no idea what I was going to do with my life.
5 years from now? Gosh, that's when we plan to start considering kids................ SCARY!
Oh interesting - hmm...where was I?
Married to my son's father, an immature deadbeat, making probably 50k less than I do now.
In 5 years, I want to be married to the love of my life! Hopefully we'll have added 2 more little ones to our family, and I'll be making even more dough. I also would like to be debt free as well, except for our mortgage of course. But hey, if we can squeeze that in, that would be awesome as well. We should do a bee time capsule!
Edited to add: I would also like to be a teacher at some point in my life - but we'd seriously have to be debt free for me to make that leap of faith. Teachers don't get paid nearly enough for what they do.
5 years ago I was starting grad school, dating my ex. 5 years from now I'm hoping to be a SAHM with a 5 year old, and another baby.
5 years ago I was 18 and about to graduate high school!
5 years from now I'll be 27 and will hopefully have finished my degree, as well as have at least one child.
hmm 5 years ago I was still in school, working part time and dating on of the many bad boyfriends of that time for me... 5 years from now I will be married for 3 years and hope to have a kid with maybe one on the way :) 5 years is not a long time... lol
Five years ago I was dating my H2B and was just about to give up full time work to go to university. In 5 years time I will be a well travelled army wife, teaching or tutoring and doing my photography work on the side, possibly with one or two kids and a dog and hopefully will have a house and be on the property ladder! x
Five years ago : I was getting ready to graduate from high school and dating my then BF and thought I was soo in love.
Five years from now: Happily married with my lovely BF and being the parent of one (so far)
Five years ago I was fresh out of college. It was a hard year for my then boyfriend now husband because we spent a year apart. I moved back home. Overall it was a year that really solidified us as a unit and we hit a major turning point in how my family felt about us as a couple.
A hard year but definitely a key year in our life as a couple.
Five years from now I hope to have a kid or two, be a licensed architect and have our forever home.
Five years ago-I was working for my family's company full-time. FI and I had been together a couple of years, living together for one year. My chocolate business was in full swing. Pretty much loving life as it was.
Family's company closed a couple years after that. Did a lot of soul-searching. Went back to school to finish my undergrad.
Today- I will be graduating in June as a triple major, double minor. Realized my calling is to teach college. Was accepted to grad school a few weeks ago (with funding, Woohoo!).
Five years from now-Hopefully completed my PhD, or at least in my last leg of it. Starting my teaching career. Living in marital harmony with hubby :).
5 years ago, I was 22 and single, and in my last semester of my senior year of college. I was living it up and going out to the bars with my friends all of the time!
5 years from now, FI and I will be married close to 5 years, and I hope to be a homeowner and a mommy :) I also hope to be going on the same career path in the healthcare/public health field.
5 years ago I was a senior in high school and couldn't wait for the Fall to start college hoping to meet tons of new people.
5 years from now I will be in Florida for FIs job, hopefully having had at least one child, and I hope to be a stay at home mom. He also hopes that we can be homeowners when we move to Flordia in 3 years.
5 years ago I had just gotten out of a dead-end relationship and started dating my husband. I was getting ready to graduate high school, go on to college, meet new people, discover my passion, and begin a 4-year 3,000 mile LDR with said hubby.
In 5 years, I hope to have (or be close to having) my PhD, be figuring out where I'm going to settle and do research, celebrate my 5-year wedding anniversary and maybe (maybe) be thinking about having children a few years after.
5 years ago I was just starting to get frustrated with my then boyfriend. We were together for a little over a year and started to fight a lot and I felt like the relationship stopped moving forward. I was so sure he was the one that ignored all the other bad things in the relationship and stuck with him for another 3.5 years until we finally broke up for good. I was working at my first job, just started to discover my love for baking/cooking and was about 10lb heavier.
5 years from now I will be married to my FI :) Hopefully we'll have a 2 year old kid and a couple of cats. I am hoping to do a lot more photography and build a career out of it.
