Where did you see yourself?

I have to say that 5 years ago I never dreamed I'd be where I am today. I thought I'd be teaching a bunch of high school students basic manners while still being a single parent to my sons. Probably living either in the house I was in back then, or perhaps I would have bought a townhouse or something and sold the old one.

Instead I'm married now and feeling very hopeful about where i'm going and what I'm doing.

Things were looking pretty bleak for me 5 yrs ago.

I thought I'd be married and have a job that I was lukewarm about. Maybe have a kid.

Now, I'm just a bachelor housing one of my friends with a pretty easy day job. I make enough money to pay for both of us and only need to work 20 hours a week, so I have plenty of time to do whatever I like. Back in college, too, so it's not what I planned but I like my life a lot right now.
