Snapshots

I've gotten into a little bit of a habit lately on Facebook. I look through all of someone's profile pictures- friends or not. Its like people watching in snap-shots. You see the images of their past couple years that they have chosen to display to the world. You see them in high school all dressed up for dances, then a few pictures in college- always surrounded by friends, then comes the relationship pictures- them with the same guy for a while, then their engagement, followed by wedding pictures, and those go for a while- and then the baby pictures. This is usually preceded by belly pictures-month by month. Then the newborn pictures (these are some of my favorites.. :) ) and then for some it continues with that baby getting older and older. Then you reach the end and if you hit the "next" button again- you're back to high school. And here is my favorite part- to then go backwards and have them jump from high school to baby and just look at how their life has changed in the 3-5 years. 

Then I always think about mine.

What will my life look like in 5 years? 

  Will I be surrounded by friends be happily single?

    Will I be in a foreign place doing volunteer nursing?

      Will I have pictures of me and my husband traveling?

        Will I have the sweet little baby pictures up?

I honestly have no clue. I can't even tell you exactly where I want it to be. There's been times where I would have definitely told you I'd be married and probably having my first kid by then. And with more and more friends getting married and engaged- I'm feeling pretty left behind. I'll be graduated, and be an RN (if all goes according to plan for the next 3 months..) And I'm getting more and more interested in Nursing abroad (especially with Doctors Without Borders- but they're pretty intense..) So we'll see I guess. In 5 years from now I'll go through my Facebook profile and see where I've been and what I'm doing- It would just be nice to get that little snapshot.
