5 Years Time

Before I look forward to where I want to be in 5 Years time, let's take a look at the last 5 years.

2013.
-I became engaged in February
-My dad had a heart attack and bypass surgery and survived
-I graduated University
-My brother graduated from school too

2014.
-I worked at a school campsite for a term
- got my first teaching job (presently still there)
- married the love of my life
-moved out of my parents home
-my father broke his leg before the wedding!

2015.
-moved away from the Sunshine Coast
- my nephew was born; became an Aunty for the first time!
- bought a new(ish) car
-drove all the way to SA from QLD!
-turned 25!

2016.
- had an ectopic pregnancy
-hosted Christmas at our place

2017.
- went to Japan!
- had a miscarriage
- found a new church family locally
-my sister got married! gained a brother!

So looking back at my last 5 years I see some wonderful memories and some horrible ones too. Life is certainly full of ups and downs!
The next 5 years I will go into my 30s! Ever since I was little I have associated 30 year olds as parents. My parents were in their 30s when they had me and so I expect in the next 5 years I will become a mother. I also expect that in 5 years time I will be saving towards buying our own home. Probably be no where near affording it but at least putting money aside for it!
Most importantly I hope that in 5 years time I will have grown closer to God and my husband. Those two relationships are so essential to my survival! Whatever horribleness that may come my way I know I can get through it with them!

So here's to my next 5 years! May they be filled with love, joy, peace and prosperity!
