In 5 years

Day 8: How will your life be different in 5 years?

I can't write this post without busting into tears.  My daughter will be 18 and will be going to college.  She will have just graduated high school and will be enjoying her last summer home with Mom.  I hopefully will be full time employed by then, because my job as full time Mommy will have ended.  It will be time for my caterpillar that I have nurtured for the past 18 years, turn into the beautiful butterfly I know she will be.  This time seems so far away, yet I know it will be here in a blink of an eye.  I can only hold on to her for so long.

Photo Day 8: Up  Here are a couple of pictures representing up.

Fireworks from the 4th.

A view going straight up 2 stories and then a dome at our state capital.  The dome was just added in 2002.  I still have a whole blog post on that and the mansion we toured.

What the future holds

Day 9:  How you hope you future will be like

I would like my future to be full of success and zero failures, but then I would be a princess living in Disney World.  haha!

I really just hope my future is full of love, laughter, and great people surrounding me.  I would love to be in a career that I want to be in.  I would also love to be in an old house that I can renovate.  I would love for my daughter to be successful in what ever she does and most of all be happy!

Now in my princess fantasy world, I would like to be walking around Disney World in my beautiful Belle dress making little kids smile.  I will settle for walking around in a Minnie Mouse costume (like I do at halloween).  I would love to have enough money to open an orphanage and do like a make-a-wish type thing and take kids to do things that they wouldn't normally be able to do.  I would also like to own a bunch of acreage and rescue dogs from puppy death row and give them a chance to just run free with the wind in their ears.

Day 9: From down low - Both from Philly.

Eastern State Penn wall. I loved the colors

A tree close to where Ben Franklin is buried.  It was huge.
