So most of us will be nearing our 30's in 5 years...or even past our 30's.

Just curious where do see yourself in 5 years?  What kind of stuff do you hope to accomplish in the next couple years?

haha ok well in 5 years i'll be 29, so almost 30. 

For myself there's a couple things i'd like to accomplish

1.  Bills and Debts:  Finally will pay off my truck and by then I should have my own place to call home...with or without a guy at my side I definitely want to own my own place by the time i'm 30.  But my truck will be done by then so i'll have more money to go towards my own place.

2.  Personal:  In 5 years my dog will be 9 :(  So in that level i'll be having to deal with my dog getting older and adjusting to that as well.  I've read Marley and Me so i've gone through the "holy shit my dog is gonna die" shock that will eventually happen.  At the same time with me, i hope to be outdoors a lot more, still snowboarding hard and keeping my same mountain lifestyle that i love so much.

3.  Family:  Since my parents seperated this year i'll definitely have to come to realize that they might move on and marry other people but i also recognize that can be a good thing.  My brother is already settled so i'm sure in 5 years i'll have to visit him when he does have kids with his wife.  But definitely see myself keeping in touch with family and visiting them as much as i can during the year and hopefully they can come visit me.

4.  Location:  I definitely don't plan to move away from Colorado.  I love steamboat springs so i doubt i'd leave her but always opportunities can arise to make me move.  In terms of moving back to WA...it would take a lot to even reconsider that option...since CO is such a huge part of me now.  In fact today since i was sick i was watching the storms at my house and it even started snowing!  I love that anything can happen here.

5.  Guys:  I've been through some good and bad relationships and i'm definitely having fun right now on my own...i can go wherever and be with whoever...like whoever i want so it's always open to possibilities.  I do hope to meet a good guy for me in the next couple years...someone i can snowboard with and have fun with.  So looking forward to that. 

6.  Jobs:  I really love working for the mountain, so i can definitely try to move up and stay with the mountain jobs that i do love so much...but i can also step away and go towards teaching elementary school.  I haven't decided this at all yet...i guess i'm really happy and content now with my job that i don't feel the need to become settled and maybe end up in a job that i could get tired of...if that makes sense. 

7.  Traveling:  I love traveling and i definitely hope to keep traveling in the future.  In the next 5 years I hope to travel to New Zealand and Chile...both are on my list.  Of course all my traveling plans include snowboard destinations since i'm a snowboarder.

I never prepare for this question - even though they ask it in every interview I've been through...maybe I suck at answering it, because I know the honest answer would rarely land me the job - - - so here it is.

- in 5 years I'll be celebrating the 5th anniversary of my 29th birthday
- I should finally have that elusive degree I keep putting off - and doing some good for the world as a result
- I hope to be looking at land to purchase
- I won't be working a job that requires a tie or a name-tag
- a relationship (dare I say marriage?) would be nice, but I've given up on expecting it

i can see myself posting my 202,234th post on sb.com hihihihi
