That would be July 7th, 2001. I was pining over a guy I dated for one week because he moved away... I think I was hoping for another boyfriend... I was also in rehearsals for a show called "Quilt." I was happily the lead, though the production ended up sucking and maybe 50 people came to our two nights of performances... yay for working with recent High School Graduates! *sarcasm*
Last year? I was right where I am now... geographically. I still lived here, at Dad's house, but I was eagerly planning my senior year while working a job and a half. I was missing England, which I had only been home from for two months, to the day...
This July 7th? I had a stressful day planning a movie outing with friends that went awry when people started calling at the last minute complaining about where the rest of us had planned to go to the movies even after they had two WEEKS of me emailing EVERYONE asking "What's good for you?" to respond. We then saw Pirates of the Carribean 2, which was mediocre, and the best part of the night was my goodnight kiss from Matthew in the parking lot, and the two hours we spent hanging out at the theatre because the 8:30 showing was sold out and we had to go to a much later one. It was hilarious, really... especially when Matt playfully tugged my hair from behind, and I attempted to swat behind me at him.... and accidentally swatted the smoothie he was holding, busting out the bottom of the foam container as it spilled all across his work outfit... oops.
Am I happy? Relatively. Things are moving slower than I'd sometimes like them to, but I'm not in control of that, and I just have to try my hardest and leave the rest up to God.. my relationship with my sister is actually starting to become a friendship, my baby brother starts college next week (EEE), planning for the wedding is going nice, and I don't have to pay a DIME for it (Thank you Mom and Dad!) and Matt and I are doing well. My friends are fairly alright, and I'm trying to spend time with everyone, and chill out as much as possible since my job is a little more relaxed this summer than it has been in previous years (especially the two summers I had two jobs)... and life is good?
In one year? I'll be married. Matt and I realized that the other day, that if CSI went to a season 8 (which neither one of us wants...) we'd be married to see it. I'm wearing my engagement ring, realizing that by July 7th, 2007, I'll be less than one month into my marriage with Matthew... and hopefully things'll still be bright and honeymooney! ;) I have a friend who had her first major fight with her husband the night after the short honeymoon... EEP! In my dream world, I'd also be working successfully at an acting career, doing bit parts in movies, and maybe landing a pilot on television that would serve for a few good years of television before low ratings killed off a perfectly good show...
In five years? Let's see.... Holding baby #1 in my arms, helping him or her learn to walk.. Matt and I want two children natural born, and one adopted. My grandmother and aunt were adopted, so it's kinda important to me, and Matthew agrees. So, if I get my dream of two years alone with just me and Matthew, baby number 1 will come around 2010. Wow... that's strange. I hope Matthew and I are OUT OF THIS AREA!!!! I was born here, but I didn't grow up here, and Matt's spent his whole life here, so we're both ready to get out! So, I hope we're living somewhere we love, in a decent house, and if I'm not a famous actress, I hope I'm in a job I don't hate, and Matt and I are still able to perform from time to time when small community plays are auditioning.... See, it's a love of performing, not of money, that motivates us. Making money at what you love? That would be AWESOME, but we accept our limitations, and the real world.... My dream, though, would be to be an actress, one who wasn't too freakin' "Hollywood" or stuck up. One who realized what an amazing husband she has, and an amazing family, and who still worships the Lord rather than worshiping money or Hollywood figures. That's my dream.
