The year is 2016.

Do you ever think about what your life might look like in 5-10 years? I do, all the time.

In five years, I will be 24 years old. And if all goes according to plan… I'll be a college graduate, ideally living either on the East Coast (in one of the Carolinas, perhaps?) or in Europe, and beginning my career as a book editor or journalist. But most importantly, continuing my walk with Christ and delving deeper into our relationship everyday. Married? Maybe, maybe not. Either way, I hope to be completely in love. And doing a lot of traveling, if I can afford it. Sending my parents postcards from every new place I visit, but never forgetting to go back to my Cajun roots.

In 5 years, I plan on being the world's greatest aunt to any nieces and nephews that I might have (please God, give me nieces and nephews!), and I'm counting on these three amazing amigos to still be a huge part of my life. If even a few of these predictions come true, I will be a very happy girl. But a lot of things can happen in 5 years. Honestly, who knows where I'll be?
