just predictions.

remember when i brought up that autobiography that i wrote in 6th grade? well i decided to pick it up tonight- reread some, and do my own 21 year old version of one of the topics.


i decided i would put my old one first- just for kicks.


10 predictions for my future.




in my 6th grade mind.
1. i will graduate from college (didnt happen)


2. i will get married (still have hope)


3. i will become a mom (hopefully one day)


4. i will live in utah or somewhere warmer (vauge. but currently doing so)


5. i will go to BYU (does living in provo count?)


6. i will become a teacher (or a hairstylist...close right?)


7. i will play the guitar (i quit the only instrument i played the very next year in 7th..)


8. i will get a jeep wrangler (does a jeep cherokee count...close enough?)


9.  i will be in the dance company at east (tried out every year- failed every year)


10. i will travel all over europe (there is still time!)




so you see...my predictions werent completely on the right track, but they werent all that wrong. just a few things have changed.  i realized then tha i just put the things down that all my sisters were doing because i thought i was going to be exactly like them.  while i do love my sisters so much- im not them, im me...and because i followed my heart, it lead me to where i am today. even though that meant dropping out of college and going a completely different direction. anywho- i decided to make a few more predictions...from my view now- here goes!




my 21 year old mind.


1. i will get married to my best friend and love of my life. ( decided to keep that same one, but add some spunk to it.)


2. i will travel to africa (have to one day)


3. my hair will one day be long and be all mine! (i realize this is vain. you should realize that i dont really care- i pray for my sad dry brittle hair on a daily)


4. i will become successful in my trade (yep my dad called it that the other day and i felt very grown up- so im stickin with it)


5. i will move out of utah. even if its just for a short time. ( i dont mind if i end up back in ut. but i would love to experience life somwhere new for a minute or two)


6. i will own my very own golden retriever. ( i know this is specific- but its the one dog me and zach completely agree on. so therefor, i hope one will make it into my future!)


7.  i will make a difference in the world. (a big enough difference that i could possibly start my own foundation, or at least be a big part of one)


8. i will become braver and more confident in life. (i hope that over time i will just get better and better at that)


9. one day i will have a regular bedtime of 9 pm and be an early riser. (dont know when that day will come...but i hope it will)


10. i will be happy and grateful no matter what trials, pains, and challenges the future brings into my life.






welp folks. i guess we will just have to wait and see what the future holds. but im excited to see- until then, im just going to love the present and enjoy the ride.
