10 years ago. 1996. I was married for just 2 years, we were living in our very first house, and I got pregnant with my daughter. Before getting pregnant, we went out to bars, a lot, and had a great fun time. Life sure changed after getting pregnant, for the better.

5 years ago. 2001. Married for 7 years, living in 2nd house. Fighting over having a second child. After 9/11, I won the battle. I got pregnant with my son.

5 years from now. 2011. Now that is weird to type out. I hope to be even happier than I am now. I am sure we will still be living in this house, both of my kids will be in school, money will surely not be as tight (no daycare expenses). I'd like to redo my bathroom and kitchen by then.

10 years from now. 2016. I will be that much closer to 50, hoping to retire early from my state job. My children will be 19 and 13. By this time, we might be living in another state, we have already started talking about that possibility in the future.

5 years ago I would have never thought I'd be where I am now. Not physically, but emotionally. I have realized that you can learn about yourself even when you are not a child any more. I have changed so much in just the last year. I always knew I wanted to be a mother and a wife. I never knew it was so much work, and so much fun. Life is a learning process, may I never run out of things to learn.
