5 Years From Now

Borrowing this idea from Becky @ From Mrs to Mama with her blogging for a purpose idea. 

After reading her post I really thought about where I would like to be in 5 years. Granted this was during a 3am feeding and I was overly exhausted, but that should make it fun. 

Let establish some facts first:

In 5 years from now I will be in my 30's.

My little man will be 5. 

Hubby and I will be married for 6 years

& I will have been done with school and working for 7 years. 

1. In 5 years from now, I would like our family to be complete. We are hoping to have 3 children, all 2 to 2.5 years apart. So in 5 years this should be completed pending everything goes well and all is healthy. We are really excited to complete our family although will also be happy if things can not go that way as we have a amazing little boy here right now, but I know he is going to make an amazing big brother to his brother or sisters as he is such a sweetheart already! I am hoping for another boy and a girl! Although will be very happy with two girls or two boys! Can't really be any sorts of sad when it comes to babies as long as they are healthy and happy!

2. In 5 years, I plan on being moved back to near our hometown. After college hubby and I took a job 3 hours outside of our hometown and we are not very happy being this far away from our families. We love our jobs for sure which is why we stay, but family is everything to us and we would like to be closer. 

3. With number 2 being said, in 5 years we are hoping to own our own house. We currently rent a two bedroom home, due to the fact that we do not want to remain living in the area we do, we are not ready to buy a house. (It would never sell in time for us to leave). I am currently thinking we will actually be buying land and building a house, as my expectations for what I am looking for are QUITE high. 

4. I would like to own my own car. I actually plan on doing this in the next two years when my lease is up. Right now leasing is more affordable and a smarter decision for us. But I would like to buy my own crossover vehicle. Hopefully the Rav4 or Crosstrek.

5. I hope to be further into my faith. I wrote a really detailed post on my faith a couple months ago (read here), and I would like to continue down the path that I feel comfortable with in my spirituality. I would like to really start reading the bible and attending church on a regular basis. 

6. In 5 years from now, I think, and this isn't for certain that I would like to be taking doctoral classes working towards getting my ph.d!

7. In 5 years from now, I would like to be the mother I have pictured in my mind. The mother that my kids will say, My mom is my best friend. I want to be fun, exciting spontaneous, but challenging and limit setting. I want to be there for them when they fall and help them get back up not get them up. I want to help shape my kids into the amazing people that I know they will be. 

That is my 5 years from now!
