5 Years.....

Well June 5 is the date. On this very day five years ago I was graduating high school. It is amazing how fast time can fly, yet high school seems like so long ago at the exact same moment. I was flipping through some pictures today and my mother said I looked the exact same as I did in high school. I am not sure if that is a compliment or an insult. I think the only thing that has changed is my hair color....well I take that back it is fairly blonde right now like it was then.

I decided to go out and enjoy the nice weather today, so I took my journal and a blanket and enjoyed the sun. I decided to make a list of everything that I have accomplished in the last five years which includes-


  1. Starting College

  2. Only change majors once (I think that is an accomplishment)

  3. Graduating College

  4. Traveling to New York City, Washington DC (again), and Mt. Rushmore,

  5. Running my first 5k (I need to do that again)

  6. See a Broadway Musical

  7. Bought a bike (best decision ever. ha ha)

  8. Going camping, hiking, mountain biking, white water rafting and others, all in attempt to feel outdoorsie.

  9. Meeting pretty much the coolest people in the world and becoming immediate life long friends

  10. Becoming domestic (I have learned to cook, sew, decorate and scrapbook) which I all thought would never happen with me. ha ha

Even though I have accomplished some pretty cool things in the past five years I have decided to set some new goals for the next five years. Here is a few that I have come up with-



  1. Start a Career (well I suppose that will be accomplished this year)

  2. Go to Europe!

  3. Run a half marathon

  4. Travel to at least 5 new states

  5. Get my Cosmetologist licence.

  6. See a Broadway Musical on Broadway!

  7. Own a sweet sports car (I am thinking a Camero)

  8. I would really love to buy a house but that one is debatable if it happens in the next five years.

  9. Get my Graduate Degree

  10. Go to Niagara Falls

  11. Find a new mountain biking trail to conquer

So there it is, I know these don't seem like such a big deal, but at least it gives me something to look forward too. This is too the next five years being the best years o my life.
