5-Years From Now

Today is my sister and John’s 5-year wedding anniversary.  I remember her wedding day as if it was yesterday and I cannot believe it’s been 5-years…in fact I’m still double checking my math to make sure it really has been 5-years.

Which, got me to start thinking about everything that has happened in 5-years…then my brain blew up.  I wonder what will happen in the next 5-years??  I have no idea.  But in an attempt to make this work day go by faster, I’ll list some possible 5-year outcomes.

 

·         In 5 years, Scott and I have moved out of the townhome and into a pretty house, we’re raising Luke and his sibling(s) (Sister? Brother? TWINS?!), and we’re having the time of our lives!! Living in a cute neighborhood in a house with a fenced in backyard and Nellie is outside playing with her brother, Titan (also a German Shepard).  Scott has moved up in his company and is enjoying work and I’m a spinning instructor at the local YMCA.   

·         In 5-years, Scott will be bald and I’ll have saggy skin.  The most positive aspect of this is that in 5-years we’ll also have bad vision, so neither of us realize the negative side effects therefore, we remember each other as we looked when we met. 

·         In 5-years, Mr. Luke will be just entering 1^st grade and his sibling(s) will be watching with envy as he climbs onto the school bus.  While Luke is in the 1^st grade by age, he is already reading at a 3^rd grade level and has memorized his multiplication tables.  This is all thanks to Grandma Lisa, who spends countless hours teaching him along with bird watching.

·         In 5-years, I’m getting my hair colored, trying to pretend to be young again and wearing lululemon workout clothes.  Scott will be in a business suit, wheeling and dealing with the big wigs up in DC working on something that has to do with drugs.  Scott has finally learned to cook and I continue to change the pillows on our couch nonstop. 

·         In 5-years, I might finally master the “I don’t care what other people think” thing that my mom always talks about.  She says you don’t master it until you get old-hence why it will take me 5 more years to master.

·         In 5- years, Scott and I have invented some amazing invention.  We were featured on the TV show, Shark Tank, and got a couple million dollars for our idea.  We decided to sell the idea and profit the cash- then we made the Farris Foundation where we help children with autism and adults with arthritis and alzheimer’s.

 

·         In 5-years no one will care about the Kardashians  and other mindless reality TV.  Lady Gaga will be playing on the oldies radio station in my electric minivan.

 

I guess 5-years from now, life doesn’t sound so bad.  That’s comforting.  During my sister’s wedding, if you told me that 5-years from now I will be married to the most amazing, selfless, attractive man and pregnant with our first child, I would have fainted out of disbelieve.  I’m so blessed and fortunate on how my life has changed and turned out 5-years after my sister’s wedding.  I cannot wait to see what the next 5-years have in store!!!
