10 Years From Now...

calindi

(They're doing this on Snarky Brides, and I liked it, so I stole the idea)

I'll be 35 and BF will be DH and will be just turning 38.

We'll be parents, hopefully of 2 kids around 6 & 4 years old (or 5 & 3, 4 & 2, or something in between).

We'll be living who knows where, this country or elsewhere, depending on where the Marines tell us to (assuming BF stays in as a career, as he plans).

We'll be starting to contemplate the transition from Marines to private sector for BF's career, if we haven't already done that.  He'll be likely doing reserves for the last 5 years or so until he hits 45 and is eligible for his pension (and possibly longer).

I'll have an MBA and my own consulting business, helping Latin American companies learn how to do business with the Chinese (seminars and direct consulting).

We will have visited Italy, Greece, Hungary, Spain, China, Japan, Thailand, and hopefully a bunch more.  We want to hike Kilimanjaro before we have kids.


YOUR TURN!!!!

AudgiePodge

We'll both be 35.

DD will be 14 and we'll probably have another around 8 or 9

We'll be bajillionaires still living in Vegas and we'd have bought Nic Cage's old house.

heyimbren

I'll be 30 and he'll be 32 (going on 31 and 33 since we have late birthdays).

(Hopefully), I'll be a lawyer and he'll be a firefighter... somewhere around here? With a kid or two? And a house. That would be ideal.

That's all I got- boring, I know. I try not to dream too much about the future and plan things out.

Hazel_B

Geez Cate, I'll be almost 40..thanks for reminding me

Aside from that I'm not sure, according to our recent conversations it'll mean that I'm married with 2 or 3 children.

The rest, I'm not really sure. Hopefully I'm travelling as much as Cate is.

niknik15

I will be 33, and BF (then H) will be 35.

I'm sure we will have at least one child who is at least 2.

I will have my master's by then and will hopefully be working on a PhD, if we stay here. Otherwise, who knows where we will be. I hope to be a crafty stay at home mom selling my crafts or else I will still be working in some 9-5 job probably working for Lockheed or some airplane company.

Hopefully, my then H will have his own business selling airplanes and will probably still be teaching people how to fly on the side and coaching soccer.

We would really like to live in another country for a few years, but I kind of doubt that will happen by then. Hopefully we will get to travel to many different countries like Australia, Greece, Ireland, and who knows where else. Those are just on the top of the list.

luvdncn90

In ten years I will be 30 and M will be 29.
We will be married and maybe MAYBE trying for children.
M will be a Journeymen Electrical linemen and I will hopefully be a level 4 cosmetologist with an associates degree in specializing with the hearing impaired.
We will hopefully have a house, and 2 dogs...yay!
Maybe living on the east coast, maybe staying in Colorado who knows.


Hmm I look forward to the next 10 years!

leia1979

Hmm...FI will be H, and we'll both be 39 (for the third time). 

We'll have a house, a dog, a couple of cats, and at least one new car. (Because while I love my Civic, it would be 13 by then!)

We'd like to travel a bit, too. Lots of places with warm beaches. We'll need to start a list.

coastiegrl25

I'll be 37 and FI will be 34.  

We of course will be married by then and have children.  I have no idea where he will be stationed by then as he will still be in the CG.  I will be a nurse by that time and we will be living the highlife!! 

By then we will have gone to Italy for our 5th year anniversary and be planning another trip for out 10th!

tuarceatha

I'll be 37, BF will be 36. I will hopefully be engaged, if not married by then... (snarky?)

ummm I would hope to have at least 2 kids (Or 4 if my future-babies' father would allow it), the oldest being like 8. awww I want kids.

I'd be approaching my 10th year at this company... Have a house of sorts.

Gosh it is hard to look past the next few years... Better set some goals for myself.

tafft1

Hubby and I will both be 43. Hopefully raising 2 kids - ages 7-10 approximately and He will be in a management role as in IT management and getting his Master's degree while I should be making headway into nursing or another branch of the medical field/administrative side. We will be in our house( hopefully) nearly 10 years and celebrating our 10 year anniversary later that year. We hope to have done some travelling to Hawaii and Australia sometime in that time frame.

Sounds good to me

bethsmiles

In 10 years we will be 30 (me) and 31 (BF).

We will have at least one kid (hopefully 2) under the age of 5.

I will either be a SAHM or be teaching elementary school depending on whats necessary finacially and BF will be doing cancer research.

Hopefully we will have a house.

We would like to go to Australia but that may or may not happen in the next ten years 

we will also have at least one dog and either a cat or a turtle

bourgehm

In ten years...

I'll be a social worker hopefully starting a new program to bring meals to the poor.
Jeff will be an engineer. Or maybe something else awesome.

We'll hopefully have a house.

We'll have a kid or two or three or four or none.

As you can see, I really dont' liike putting my future in a way that makes it seem like it's GOING to happen. Then I just set myself up for disapointment.

Sorry to burst your bubble Tafft, but the only way you can have a 10 year old in 10 years is if you pop a baby out today. Which I dont think is the case...

Or she could adopt!  My friend just adopted the absolute cutest 2 year old ever.  All dark ringlets and green eyes and dimples!

[Deleted User]

I will be 46 going on 47 and Joe will be 52.  We will be getting ready to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary and making plans for the cruise the entire family will be taking to celebrate my parent's 50th anniversary the following year. 

I will be a SAHM to our 7-9 year old triplets (2 boys and a girl - we have 2 boys names and only 1 girl name picked out, so since this is my fantasy, I declare that it will be 2 boys and a girl) and my card business will have taken off and paying enough for us to take a couple "mini-honeymoons" each year.  The economy will have done a complete turn around and Joe will be working in the casino business again where he really belongs. 

We'll have a bigger house (with a pool so Joe can teach our kids to swim - he swam competitively until he was 18) and I will have the biggest most awesomest craft room you've ever seen.

marleylikeair

Oh man, this is kinda freaking me out!

I'll be 36. BF will be 41. I don't know about kids. We may be moving down to Minneapolis around that time. (Or even Chicago, if I have my way.) I'll hopefully have a few more shows on my resume and BF's drum business will be more well-known and his drums more sought-after! I also hope I'll have been working in Arts Admin for a few years.

The universe may have completely different intentions, however. So who knows?

ETA: There had better be some fun vacations in there somewhere, too, especially France.

Beads921

Both BF and I will be 31. Hopefully by then, he will no longer be BF and will be my husband.

We might be parents. But our child(ren) would be quite young - probably no older than 2 years. No more than 2 kids at this point, but probably only 1 (if any). Then again, who really knows with these things. 

We should be in our 'forever' home by this point, after moving on from the starter/fixer upper. Out in the country somewhere, although where exactly remains to be seen. 

BF should be well finished trade school and business courses and should be well established with his own business. If we have kids I'll hopefully be a SATM. If not, I'm not really sure where I'll be career wise, since I still don't really know what I want to do 'when I grow up' heh. I hope to have my masters (in something...) by then.

We'll have seen lots of Europe, and most of Canada. Travel is a huge priority for us, and the reason we aren't planning to have kids until we're older. 

10 years from now I'm almost certain our lives won't look like this. But, if on the off chance we follow the plan we have as of right now, they will.

Very true Cate! I guess I was just thinking for me that I want to be pregnant by the time I am 30 which means it will take 9 months before it would be born. And so I would probably be 31 by the time it was born.

Then, I read through Tafft's and saw the age and I said to myself, "wait a minute! that doesn't add up!" I guess I should add that I'm kinda a math person.

tmacwin

In 10 yrs from now I"ll be 37 and bf (hopefully H by then!) will be 42.  We'll have 2, possible 3 kids by then.  I'll be a big time manager at the company I work for in the Knowledge and Training dept and BF will have is own practice for financial advising.  We will have at least travelled to Europe once, and also to Hawaii and anywhere else we put on the list.  I'll be in my 10th year of my girls bunco night (just started last month!). 

jeanacorina

10 years from now I will be 37, married to the love of my life, who will be 35. If we're lucky we'll have a couple of kids, ages TBD, and a couple of cats- hopefully Pounce and Etcetera will live well into their teens or 20s!

We will be happy, healthy, and fulfilled.

Everything else is completely negotiable.

mookow86

We'll both be 34. I will have finished my PhD. We will have traveled around the world for one to two years continually, come back and found jobs (fingers crossed), and built a house.  We'll have a Bernese mountain dog and a chocolate lab or labradoodle.  We MIGHT have one to two kids, probably toddlers. Eeeek!

PolkaDotBella

In 10 years, we'll both be 36. The bf will be DH and we'll have 3 kids, with the oldest being 6 or 7.

The BF will probably be working on some awesome project with airplanes or running his own business and I'll be working full time as a school psychologist. All the kids will be in school/daycare so I won't be a SAHM.

I'll probably also be in school finishing up my PsyD for clinical psychology and looking into opening my own practice, probably for children...

We'll have traveled all over Europe, Australia and New Zealand as well as a few other places.

We'll also probably be looking for our "forever" home... someplace with land for my horses and his airplane and room for all the munchkins to run around!

PaigeMcC

In 10 years I will be 35, FBD will be 38 and he will no longer be FUTURE baby daddy.  He will be a baby daddy.  And we'll be murried.  We will have 2-3 kids, ages TBD.  He'll *hopefully* have his own consulting business or some high level IT job.  I will be in some event management role...maybe with my own business.

We'll have traveled all over.

The end.

cu97tiger

... I'll be 45 (WTF??) and BF (by then DH) will be 46. We'll have the cutest little 7.5 year old boy (who looks just like his daddy).

We'll have figured out a way to keep the house we're in now, and we'll also own a house up in the mountains on a lake that we can escape to when it's 115 here.

We'll have spent significant amounts of time in Germany, and our son will speak fluent German like his dad. (Es tut mier leibe, ich spreche kein Deutsche).

My parents will spend six months a year out here with us, and six months a year in DC with my sister. Life will be good

alanna91

Well! This is what I hope:

I'll have his last name (hyphenated, mind you) by then.
I will be a Major in the Air Force, either a JAG Officer or a Public Affairs Officer.
He'll have a job as an Emergency Manager...maybe in FEMA.
Due to our jobs who the hell knows what state or even what country we'll be living in, but hopefully II'll still be home in Massachusetts often enough. That's what I worry about.
Maybe we'll have children by then, and in that case he'll finally be able to be the stay at home dad he dreams of. But I'll still be the one baking the cupcakes and cookies!

Peaseblossom55

ughhh I'll be 41!!

Hopefully married by then living in a house, hopefully same town or same area I currently live

doing the same type of work I love

Hopefully some travel and get the bf over to europe at least once...

Health and happiness mostly

and 2 kids 1 girl and 1 boy

jemmini6

The only thing I can say for certain is that I'll be 33 and FI will be 37.  We will hopefully have two beautiful, healthy children by then, ages TBD.  We will probably move to a bigger house, maybe in AZ, maybe somewhere else (but still somewhere warm).

FI will most likely still be in IT, I'll (hopefully) be in a career that actually uses my degree, or a SAHM depending on our situation at the time.  We will have traveled quite a few more places by then and logged a few hundred more dives.

xokristenelise

In 10 years i'll have been Mrs. Meckley for about 7 1/2 years! i'll be 29, about to be 30 and Matt will be 34 years old.
We'll both be teachers (me in elementary and Matt in middle school), hopefully working in the same district. State TBD, but probably still in NC. Maybe Raleigh!?
We will have our puppy (Bailey) who wont be a puppy anymore. She'll be 10 1/2 by then. She's a small breed so I'm sure she'll be around for awhile! and also the dog that we're adopting this summer when we have time to train another dog!
If I'm not pregnant or already have a little one, we'll be TTC.  
No other major milestone goals in mind yet. But who knows what will happen in 10 years!?

CASK85

psh, in 10 years none of us will be here because the world is ending in 2012. . . 

loves2shop4shoes

10 years from now, I'll be 33 and FI will be 35.  We will be happily married.  I will be a successful lawyer, hopefully a Juvenile Defender or something along those lines.  FI will be a SAHD to our  (hopefully) 2 children, ages (hopefully) 3 and 1.  We will have a house and an amazing sex life, even after all of these years.  Oh, and our dog Gemini will be a very old puppy at age 21.

She's going to live to be 600...I told her so.
