    WOW !! 10 years. . .I'll be 53. . . My daughter will have graduated from college as a veternarian (she is a sophomore in high school now). I will be working for her in her clinic. She will have baby grandchildren for me. And I will take care of them at her Vet. Clinic.

    I will be 20 pounds lighter and easily keep my weight and physical beauty in tact !!! LOL

    I will still enjoy every single day that she is in my life !!!

    How's that ???

    You never know until you ask. . .and God's plan is far greater than what anyone can dream !!!!

    That was fun... thanks

    10 Years..... What are you trying to make us depressed today? :tongue: :laugh:

    I'll be 35.... living in Alaska out in the middle of nowhere with just the hubby and me. Oh, and the dogs.... Living off the land and providing for myself and my family. Of course I'm just dreaming, but really, that's what I want to do..... :bigsmile:

    Of course that all depends on if we can ever sell our GD house! Damn market! :grumble:

    Okay, if we are going by dreams then I would be debt free (at least my house paid off).
    I would still be working. I'll be at a healthy weight and maybe another grankid or two.


    In realty, not much different but I will still be paying my mortgage!!!! But I will be happy because I will be healthy and my kids will be happy in their lives!


    I'm a simple kinda gal!!!

    I'll be a happily married 34 y/o homeowner with 2 kids. I'll be a stay-at-home mom I think, who's constantly volunteering to help out with things at the kids' school. I'll have my current loans paid off but we'll be making horrendous mortgage and car payments (gotta be realistic, lol).

    .... i dont know if ill ever get to law school. ...

    I keep hoping too.
    In ten years, I'd love to be out of law school, working at a prestigious practice.
    I'll be 37. My daughter will be 13.
    I hope in 10 years I will have lost these last stubborn 20lbs and maintain my goal weight. :laugh:

    I will be 32.

    I will be living in VA or NC in a rural area.

    I will have had my PhD for three years. I will be an assistant professor, about halfway to (hopefully) receiving tenure. I will be teaching anatomy and physiology at a relatively small university that focuses on excellence in teaching. I will be researching...something.:bigsmile:

    I will have two dogs and two cats, and I'll go jogging with the bigger dog (probably a rescued greyhound).

    I will have either a nice sized apartment or little house. Maybe married to someone I met in grad school. No kids.

    I'll go on vacations during the summer when I'm not teaching summer school. :happy:

    I will still be in great shape and exercising as much as I can! :drinker:

    I will be almost 37. My daughter will be 10 1/2. Hopefully DH and I will have two more kids around 7 and 4 years old. And I will be in such good shape that people will say, "You have 3 kids?!" :laugh:

    I thought that was an innate behavior that all boys just knew when we were born???

    In 10 years, I hope my husband and I are living comfortably with our successful photography career. I hope by then we will have traveled to lots of neat places, but I will be 32 so I hope I at least have a toddler running around. Oh, and I want to be the HOT MOM/WIFE for my hubby so I'm going to be maintaining this healthy lifestyle. Plus I want to start my children on the right track in terms of diet and exercise. I didn't really get that when I was a kid and I want it to be a natural, easy part of my child's existence to be active and healthy.
