By 2022 our lives will look very different, if only because Squishy will most likely have just retired from the military. We will be able to live where we want! No more deployments!
Right now I do the stay at home mom thing, but I told Squishy that when he retires, I will go back to work if he wants to take a few years off and stay home with the kids.
Honestly, I don't really see much of my day-to-day life changing until that time, when I have more time to pursue my own education and possibly re-examine the career thing. I'd like to get back in school, but I'm not exactly sure in what field. I had started my doctorate, but that is A LOT of commitment if I don't really plan to do anything with it. Truth be told, now that I am typing it out, I think I would like to be a substitute teacher again. It gets me into the classroom, which I love, but still gives me the freedom to travel, be home with my family when I want, and do that sort of thing.
In 10 years I'll be 40. Wow! That is painful to type. It wasn't too long ago that 30 seemed ridiculously old, so the idea that in a blink of an eye I'll be 40 is a hard pill to swallow. Hopefully at 40 I will look amazing. Isn't that every one's dream? I'd love to be the 40 year old that all of Squishy's friends think is 27!
In 10 years, Squirt will be 12. Now that is hard to wrap my brain around! And hopefully, we will have another kiddo too. If it is still going well, they will be being homeschooled.
I guess the bottom line is that I am really happy with my life right now. The majority of my time is spent doing what I love with my friends and family. I hope that doesn't change and only improves over the next 10 years.
