The 5 Past 5 Future Project

"So where were you 5 years ago?" 

A friend asked me in a coffee shop few days ago.

We both started to reflect and divulged, but the topic

quickly, naturally changed.

"So where do you see yourself in the next 5 years?"

It seems we are less interested in where we were,

and more interested in where we were going.

As each of us shared, we realized just how much we had changed in 5 years.  And as exciting as it is to look back and see how much you've grown up, it's even more exciting to look forward to what's to come.

I started looking at old photos and reflecting on all the experiences I've had in the past.  This is what the past 5 years have looked like for me:

Moved Out -Went to College - First Roommate Experience

Summer Volunteering in Kenya and Uganda 

Studying Abroad in Oxford, England

Backpacking in Europe

          

Moved to Seattle (and made friends for LIFE)

Became a Puppy Mom

Bought First Car

 Went to the Olympics

And one AMAZING summer

Where do I see myself in 5 years?

Epic trip to Vegas (Dec 17-19 baby!)

More Traveling

And the big stuff like buying a house

Finding a husband

Having kid(s)

Oh and I want another dog, a playmate for Gams

But I'll still be in Seattle

Hopefully still at SeattleBioMed

But also hopefully being paid more.

And duh, these people will still be in my life :)

Where have you been?  What will you do?
