day 2 ...a few months later

so to continue on with the "30 day challenge" I started way back when...

Day 2. where you would like to be in 10 years

Wow that is quite the question. There are two paths I could see my life taking, the only problem: they are COMPLETE opposites.

Life #1: (not meaning I would prefer it in anyway over the other option, it is just coming first in listed order)

I want to have the whole "american dream" thing. Maybe on a beach house in South Carolina. Have an amazing, fun, athletic, loving husband; 3 beautiful little children, a couple dogs (preferably a Rottweiler and a lab). In this version of my life I would be this precious little stay at home mom. My kids would all play sports. We would belong to some sort of country club and would be the family at the pool almost everyday in the summer (or year-round considering I want to live somewhere warm and by the ocean)....

which is where life #1 & #2 converge: my love of the ocean. NO MATTER WHAT I want to live near the ocean. I absolutely love it, and now that I've experienced what its like to be so close, I don't want to have to give it up.

Life #2: This is where I would end up getting a serious career in marine bio. I would move to austrailia or some pacific/caribbean island researching dolphins or turtles or sea horses or whatever.

I would meet my husband somewhere along the way and we would both basically be hippies. Living completely carefree. the ultimate beachlife.

I have included some pics that I think adequately convey what I want my life to be...and they actually do an AMAZING job of combining the 2 lives.
