My favorites...and I COULDs.

i write this blog for me. those who read it, and follow it, are just along for the ride. [and thanks for reading/following :)] in a year or so, id like to read back through some of these posts to see where i once was and how things have changed. so here is a list of things about me at the moment:

Favorite Song: Helena Beat by Foster the People
Favorite Vegetable: Zucchini
Favorite Gadget: iPad :)
Favorite outfit: My light wash, "fake" torn jeans, tank top, flip flops
Favorite Drink: Cherry Coke [as always]
Favorite Coffee Place: Biggby [on the west side]
Favorite Dish: Pita Pizzas

The thing that bugs me most: At this point its the lame life span of my Droid battery [and construction]
The thing that annoys me most about myself: I cannot get organized to save my life

What I need most: a vacation on the water
What my next big $pender is going to be on: paying off school loan #3. Then maybe a new couch set.

What I am looking forward to: fall and possibly moving in the spring...and my new niece/nephew!

What I hate paying for the most: Rent. I've come to terms with gas prices. Rent is stupid though [even though i have a ridiculously great deal on my apt]

What I really want but can't have: Lots of things, but I would love a dog. A small one but not an annoying princess yipper.

I'd include my current 5 year plan but I have no clue what it is. someone recently asked me what it was and about 10 minutes later of the longest answer possible, i ended up saying "i dont know". I've never really been one to set goals and have super high expectations for life. and here's why.

i followed my sister's footsteps since i can remember. i did a lot of what she did. went dance when i was small. played basketball and softball and showed sheep in middle school. graduated high school and went on to college. then it stopped. she graduated and got married, moved into a new house with my now brother-in-law and is raising an amazing family. I on the other hand...graduated college. got a job.... had to find an apartment...had to figure the next steps out as I had no one to pave my way.

my plan, had you asked me as a freshman in college, would have been "graduate college, get married, get a job, get a house..." - because that is what i knew my sister did and she was happy! so why wouldn't i want that? well... that wasnt got God planned for me. so here i am living life day by day because i know He can change my directions at any given point and I shall indeed trust my life GPS.

but just for kicks... what i think COULD happen in 5 years...

I COULD get married.
I COULD by a house.
I COULD move to a different city.
I COULD still have my amazing job.
I COULD have a small non-princess yipper dog.
I COULD plan a trip to visit Uganda again.
I COULD hate zucchini.
I COULD hate Foster the People
I COULD love driving through construction and paying rent.

la ta di da...Ya just never really know. And I guess I am okay with that.
