Could you have seen your life the way it is now 5 years ago ? There is no chance in hell 5 years ago I could have predicted the way things have turned out. Is the excitment in not knowing ?

5 years ago:
Going through a very painful and sad divorce, living in Orlando and HATING every second of it, working at a job that looks like the greatest gig in the world but is actually like working in a sweatshop.
Now:
Married to an awesome woman with 4 wonderful kids, living in Greensboro, NC and couldn't be happier, and actually working at a job that is at least as cool as you think it is (it's actually cooler! )
Man, there is no way I would have forseen my life as it is 5 years ago.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Sep 2006 Location: washington, dc | | | the difference between now and five years ago, and what i thought my life would be like now, well, it is just astounding.
five years ago i was struggling to survive and was convinced that i would be dead within the next year or two.
i wish i could go back and kick the cr*p out of the 23 year old me...

During these five years I've gone from being in a relationship to being single. (well over 5 1/2 years actually)
I've gone through an open heart surgery.
I've gone from being a couch potato to being physically very active and into mountaineering and hiking.
5 years ago, I did not imagine myself single today.

| | Notes we play > Gear we play them on | | Join Date: Sep 2000 Location: Wisconsin | | | Not in the slightest. In the past five years I've moved to a new city, gotten a "real" job, gotten married, bought a house, and done all sorts of things in between.
Five years ago I was single, living with my parents, and struggling to finish college. |

Don't get me wrong, some **** has happened. My dad died (young), I've been laid off from a job where I was a supervisor (me? A supervisor?), I finally got the guts to ask my girlfriend to marry me.
Really though, life rarely seems to surprise me, if a 400 lb Gorilla gave me a 400 million dollar check after I won the national "OMG He's sooooOOooo good at sewing, and sexy to boot" competition within that 5 year span, I would have not foreseen that.
