If I Were To Win The Lottery

I am no stranger to the lottery. I used to work at a gas station and sold it everyday for about 3 years. People get pretty serious about winning it big. I always wished I could win, but in order to do that I would actually have to play. Seeing all of the people spend their precious money on a piece of paper that more likely than not disappointed them the next day didn't really appease to me.

It's a fun thought though huh? What would you do if you did win. If the pot were up to a million or more, what would you do with the money (after they take those precious taxes)?

Pay off my debt..Mine and my husbands. We have plenty thanks to school and a couple of credit cards to pay off. It would be really nice to be debt free

Buy a house..that is big enough for the family of 5 I have been dreaming of. Well I would at least buy a house that was big enough to start a family. Somewhere in the country with plenty of yard for my big doggie and a guest house for my husband to have a man cave...or to use as an actual guest house.

Quit my job..Yeah that might not seem like the smartest move but with millions of dollars I could live comfortably without working. Mind you I would have to spend and save wisely but that is a lot of money. I could volunteer places I have always dreamed of and not succumb to the pressures of the daily grind. 

Share..Sharing really is caring, and I care about my family enough to give them a piece of the pie. Parents and inlaws first then my brothers and sisters mainly. I love them and would feel horrible if I didn't give at least a little.

Hopefully by the end of this little list I won't be down to a few thousand dollars but its only a dream. If that really happened I would probably freak out and spend half of it blindly by mistake lol. I do have a love for clothes shopping lol.

What would you do if you one the lottery?

My Biggest Weakness

I can pick out certain things about myself that I really don't like, but I can't really pinpoint what my greatest weakness is. I mean:

I can be Greedy when it comes to food.
I don't Say No often enough.
I am Materialistic.
I get Jealous/Envious more easily than I would prefer.
I am Conceited to an extent.

Obviously I am not the picture perfect person but there is always room for improvement. I work on my imperfections everyday. I think everybody needs a little improvement in some aspect.

My Life 5 Years From Now

5 years seems like a short period of time. I mean I met my husband 5 years ago, and flash forward to today: we got engaged, married, and became parents of 2 sweet puppies Zeus, and Charlie.

Things change in a moment so anything is possible, but there are quite a few things I am hoping to have accomplished in 5 years.

First off is the obvious. 

In 5 years I hope there is a baby in the mix. Me and hubby will hit our next milestone into parenthood and I can't wait to get started.

In 5 years I hope me and my husband will be looking into buying a house. We have been renting for a year in a half now and as much as I am grateful for a place to live, I can't wait to start owning something and calling it ours. Also I have had the urge to paint something, preferably a kitchen or office lol.

In 5 years I want to be much better at taking pictures and actually know a price to quote to people when they want a few pictures taken. I am practically clueless right now and don't charge anything. I am going to figure it out though, that is a promise lol. I am getting better at angles and using my settings now. I need to crack open the manual and just read it. So far Pinterest and others suggestions have been my manual. Maybe a photography class is in my future. hmm.

In 5 years I want my dream job to be a reality. That isn't very realistic though because I want to be a pediatric nurse practitioner and I am barely halfway there. Pediatrics is my goal though and I hope to be much closer to the finish line 5 years from now.

I hope things change a lot and change for the better in the next 5 years. I don't think I am wishing for too much. Me and my husband grow everyday as adults and a married couple and it's a fun adventure. I can't wait to see what lies ahead for us in the next 5 years.
