Haiti trip 1
I went on my first missions trip where my outlook on life completely changed. I finally decided what was important to me and what was just minor details. Helping others and understanding that clean drinking water is very precious are two big things I took away from this experience. Do not take anything for granted. I am a fortunate person. -
Haiti Trip #2
I was so mooved by my first trip to Haiti, I returned for a month. I put their needs first. My team and I worked hard from sunrise to sunset. We built classrooms and taught biblical messages. I learned not to complain. -
A new life
I began a new life by moving several states away from my family to Florida. I followed the one I love and eventually married. I had to rely on my own instincts and financially was on my own. -

My husband and I missed our family and moved back to Michigan. We realized that when we have a family of our own, it will be very important to have the support of our friends and family close by. -
Greiving
My grandfather died this morning. I have never lost anyone so close to me. I can't help but cry everytime I think about him which seems like always. This grieving process is very difficult on me. -
Mourning
I still am having a difficult time with the death of my grandfather. I have cried almost every day since he passed. Today is the memorial in remembrance of him. -
preparation
We are working on turning our house into a home. One day we would like to have children and we are trying to prepare ourselves in many ways for that. We want to have a home that is safe for our children, we want to be financially able to have a family. I want to be at a point with school where it is possible to have a baby. We talk about parenting skills and attributes we wish to poseess. -
Regarding Death
Today, if I were to be diagnosed with an incurrable disease, I would be considered in Kubler-Ross' bargaining stage of death. I do not feel as if I will be in denial or angry due to my fatal outcome but I will be more concerned about how little of life I have lived and will try to bargain with God to prolong my life. -

Another child
Maybe we can have a Christmas baby. We would like to have 3 children, or at least I would, and I would prefer that they are no more than two years apart. I know that it will be challenging to have a 4, 2, and newborn because of the different stages they will be in, but I think in the long run it will be nice to have children that are close in age and good friends (hopefully) -

Religion
I have always been raised going to church. I really enjoy the time I have fellowshipping with others. During my twenties, my priorities have really gotten away from me and now that I am older and have a family, I would really like them to be involved like I was in order to build a great foundation for their families one day -
Just one more class
Continuing education will always be important. I figure now will be around the time when some type of technological advance will happen and I will need to take a course in order to understand the advances. -
Retirement
I will be 50 years old today and hope to retire. I would rather not have to continue working much later than this because I would like to have time to enjoy my life again with my husband. Hopefully this means children will be out of the house. :) -
Retirement and marriage
It will probably be very difficult to adjust to retirement with marriage. It is not easy to go from constantly being busy with work school kids etc. to being able to relax at home. Let alone entertain a husband without becoming annoying -
Moving Day
It's almost winter time and I think a new change of pace is necessary. I just retired and it would be nice to live somewhere warmer where the winters are not as harsh as michigan. My body can't seem to take the cold like when I was younger and the biosocial development confirms this. -
Alzheimers Disease

Vacation

Possible Death
At this point in my life I will be 85 years old. I hope that I will be at the Acceptance stage of death in the Kubler-Ross' emotional phase. If I have not died yet, I would like to be at peace with death and at a place where I am ready to leave my family and loved ones. -
Estimated death
According to the life calculator from a previous module I will live to be 91. The year 2077 seems so far off, I hope I stay fairly healthy!
