5 More Days. . .

That's right, just 5 more days till the big 30!!! It has gotten me thinking lately, am I where I want to be? I had a class in Nursing school called Preceptorship. We had an assignment to make a professional portfolio and we had to write about where we saw ourselves in 5 years. Well, it has been more than 5 years since this class and I am not doing at all what I thought I would be. So I ask you as well, no matter where you are in life are you were you want to be personally, professionally?

I'll give you my answer. At the time I saw myself being married, having 2 kids (by 30), living close to family, being an nurse practitioner and doing mom things. Fast forward to reality. . .married, one child, not working in nursing, living in Sicily and doing some travel, farther than I ever imagined from family and being a SAHM (stay at home mom). Happy? Definately! Now where do I see myself 5 years from this point? Still married to Tim. He's my high school sweetheart and we've known each other since we were 16 and 17 he's my best friend. 2 children, working part-time as a registered nurse, being involved with my kids in school, extra-curricular activities, hopefully living closer to family. At this point, living in the US is good enough to me. Having our own house again and still traveling. It will be fun to see what actually happens in 5 years. . . :)
