2016:

I'm pretty sure the future of your own life has been a topic of conversation with you and someone at some point. If not, you have to had at least thought about it. Thinking back 5 years from now, did you ever imagine your life would be what it is today? Have you accomplished any goals? Done anything you regret? Surprised or disappointed yourself and others? Or is your life pretty on track to what you planned it to be? Of course nothing ever pans out perfectly the way you prefer it to because that'd be too easy and frankly, boooring. The whole fun-or not so fun-part of life is all the unexpected turns it take, be it good or bad. The challenge of remaining happy and healthy through it all is what makes life...life!

Ok so what's my point right? Why explain my life? Well, because that's what a blog's for! LOL No no no anyway, the reason for the title is to give an insight to what I think will be going on in my life 5 years from now: 2016. This is a topic Aggz, Lavi and I decided to write about 'cause we are now totally awesome bloggers in the blogging scene ;) haha

In 5 years, I'll be married to Seta Tuilevuka and Aggie will be my legit sister like she always dreamed she would be. Yay! Seta should be done playing rugby in France by then and we'll probably be in Fiji living the island life and raising 2 kids-maybe 3. They will have little afros and roll their 'R's and will eat curry, crepes, shepard pie and cereal for most meals unless I learn how to cook more. And of course they'll be adorable! We possibly will be in Utah though depending on immigration lol I don't really care where we end up, as long as we're both working hard to have a good life for our family. I plan to get schooling in somewhere in the world in those 5 years. I pray that will work out for me! I plan on never losing the desire to stay active and fit...I plan on it. No guarantees here! I will for sure be in touch with my fellow bloggers. Aggie has no choice and Lavi, I guess you dont either since youre gonna marry a Fijian too. I wonder if we'll still be bloggging? hmm. Well Thats my [future] life in a nutshell. It's not very exciting or extravagant, but I just plan to be happy and have a happy husband and family...and that's all the excitement I need.

Five years is a short time that seems long, but will go by quickly when youre not paying attention and could possibly change your life drastically! Scary and exciting...never know what to expect but BRING IT ON!!
