(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!!!!
Re: 10 Years From Now...
(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.
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.
My Bio - updated 26/3/2011
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.
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!
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.
I haz a planning bio
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.
Sounds good to me
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!
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.
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!
The universe may have completely different intentions, however.
ETA: There had better be some fun vacations in there somewhere, too, especially France.

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.
We will be happy, healthy, and fulfilled.
Everything else is completely negotiable.
Married!
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!
We'll have traveled all over.
The end.

Murried Bio
Still here and still fabulous!
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!
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.
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!
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!?

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