Five Years.

Five years ago I was in a sad place.  I was watching my best friends get married, start families, and get everything we had dreamed of as kids.  But I wasn't in that crowd.  I was dating the wrong guys, trying to keep my head above water, and making excuses for it. If you would have asked me five years ago if my life was anything like it is right now I would have told you "in my dreams."  But thankfully, it is now my reality.  I live the life I dreamed of with the man I asked God to provide me.  We are about to embark on a journey that will last us a lifetime and I couldn't possibly be more happy about it than I am now.  Anyone that knows me IRL or talks to me outside this blog can vouch for that.  I'm one excited engaged woman! So, that got me to thinking.  Five years ago I was sad.  Today I'm happy.  Where will I be five years from now?  What will my life be like? So, in five years I see being even more in love with B than I am now.  I see the appreciation for the man he is to grow daily.  In five years, I see walking through a house full of home projects that we've done together.  (Bless him, the list is getting longer..) And in five years I see the man I love playing with our child.   I think the next five years of my life are full or happiness, trials that will teach life lessons, and years of wisdom that I cannot even begin to imagine today.   Five years.  It's not a long way off, but yet still in the distance.   I can't wait to see what life hands me, as Mrs. White, in five years. :)
