Look back 10yrs from now, are you where you thought you would be. Well, I was married then and still am, I had one child then and now I have 2. I have moved back home to help care for my mother. I thought I would live in Northwest Arkansas forever. Life happens and things do change. But I must say, mine have been for the better. I love my family...

Well no but I am happy and content where I am. I didn't think I would be living in Florida thats for sure. I thought I would still be in NW Arkansas, still teaching childrens church and still at RLF. But life throws you a curve and you can either ride it or jume off. I am much happier today.

Yes I am where I thought I would be. all i ever wanted was a man to love me, to be his wife, bear his children and have a lovely family life together and to look after all of them. sounds a bit sad really but thats all I ever wanted in life nad yes i do have it now. Its jolly hard work sometimes but what ever you want to work towards can be hard work sometimes. But I wouldn't change anything at all, not even when my children are being naughty or things are hard between hubby and I, re lack of money

No, I'm nowhere near where I thought I'd be. At the time I guessed I'd ten years on (like now) be in the same home, the same job, have the same friends. All those things have changed beyond all recognition, and I never thought I'd be where I am now in life, or doing what I'm doing. If someone ten years ago had been able to look into the future and tell me where I'd be in 2008, I'd have laughed at them and thought they were talking rubbish.

I am nowhere close to where I thought I would be ten years ago but I am 100% happier now. I had a demanding career and goals based on that. Now, ten years later, I live 1,000 miles away and am working in a different industry in a completely different position which is less stressful and more rewarding because I'm way more computer literate than most of the people I work with so they appreciate every little thing I do for them. I also live in the country outside of a lovely small town and I wouldn't go back to what I thought would make me happy ten years ago for anything in this world.
