{22} of THIRTY

22. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? 10 years? 15 years?

In 5 years:
I will be 38 years old. Jake will be 16, Brazos will be 9, Beckett will be 6, Hudson will be 5. And quite possibly we will have a 2 year old Harrison or Maris as well (let's hope for a girl vs another boy ;). We will have lived in Texas for almost 5 years. We will have our own house and Jason will be growing his own practice. I hope to be a stay at home mom at this point and running our household instead of going into an office job everyday. We will be running to sports practices, games/meets, music lessons, sleepovers, etc. The boys will all officially be in school, minus the possible new addition.

In 10 years:
I will be 43 years old. Jake will be 21, Brazos will be 14, Beckett will be 11, Hudson will be 10. Undetermined new addition will be about 7. We will be living in our newly built house out in the country and the boys will be loving all the room to run. I will definitely be a housewife at this point, managing our finances/household and all the kids will be in school. Still running to sports practices, games/meets, music lessons, friends houses, etc. One will be starting HS, one will be starting MS and one/possibly two in elementary.

In 15 years:
I will be 48 years old. Jake will be 26, Brazos will be 19, Beckett will be 16, Hudson will be 15. Possible added kid will be about 12. Wow, Brazos will be in college, Beckett and shortly after Hudson will be driving. TBD kiddo will be in Middle School. Things will be really fun with our boys being self sufficient and I'm sure getting into lots of trouble. At this point Jason will have multiple practices open and I will be running our household. We'll still be running to activities with the boys but the older three will be driving themselves to practices.

There are so many uncertainties in life that it's so hard to say where we will be and what life will be like in 5 years. I look at how much life has changed in the last 5 years (Jason and I celebrate 5 years of marriage tomorrow). I never would have dreamed that in 5 years we would have 3 boys and Jason would be about to finish graduate school and become a dr. I don't have any predictions on what Jake will be doing or where he'll be in these years because I honestly don't know what to even guess. I hope he comes to live with us at some point and goes to college. And we quite possibly will have another kiddo in 3 years but you never know! This was fun to think about and imagine what life will be like at the milestone years.

Copy Cat

I'm contemplating doing a Project 365 blog... Such a cool idea and I think it would be fun to look back and see how my year was in pictures :) And, yes, I'm copying off my sister's 365 blog . Opinions?

Almost Fainted Yesterday - Not. Cool.

Yesterday late morning I was sitting at my desk and I felt...funny. Then the "funny" feeling turned into ears ringing, hot flash, seeing stars, light- headedness . Scared the poo out of me. So I sat at my desk for a good 2 to 3 minutes with my head between my knees - or atleast as close to my knees as I can get right now - trying not to panic and make it worse. I never actually passed out/fainted but got pretty close. The thing that scared me the most though was that NO ONE AROUND ME NOTICED! Not that I wanted all kinds of people flocking over to me to see if I was ok , but would have felt a little better if one person would've atleast thrown me an "are you alright?". I hope I never go into labor at work, good grief. I'll be driving myself to the hospital and two hours later people will be going "Where's D?" That diva moment aside, I finally felt ok to stand up and walk to the breakroom to get a glass of water and then asked my boss to go d...

FAF: Another 1 Bites the Dust!

Starting weight: 166.4 Last week's weight: 163.8 Current weight: 162.8 Weight +GAIN / -LOSS this week: -1.0 Total weight lost: -3.6 Another week of weight loss! Whoop! Its not much but after another slow exercising week, I'll GLADLY take it! I'm very close [again] to what I weighed when I got knocked up with my pwecious little man so I'm feeling good about that fo' sho'... Working out this week has been rough. I haven't really made/had time for a good solid workout so I'm a little disappointed about that but...eh, I'll just keep squeezing them in there whenever I can and as much as I can. We have a gym membership over by my usual sitter so once she's off maternity leave, I'll be able to run to the gym at night before or after I pick up the monster. My diet this week has been unhealthy - not in what I've eaten, just the quantity. I've hardly eaten a thing! My dinner portions have been cut in half, if not more, so I feel that's a po...
