Happy New Year!

10 years ago in 1999 my family made a time capsule for New Year's Eve to open New Year's 2010. In our capsule we put in an old Comp USA ad so we could compare techonoloy, old newspapers, and we wrote letters to ourselves and wrote some of our favorite things. This New Year's Eve we opened it up and read our letters. I was a pretty smart child. This is me 10 years ago:

Dear Me,
Now I'm writing in 1999 when I'm 11 yrs old. Ten years have gone by and I should be 21 years old. I'm telling that it's been ten years and I hope you have spent my life wisely! You should be in school now and in a good college or university (such as BYU). You should have made a choice of being a lawyer or a teacher and I HOPE you thought about it carefully. I also hope you kept up with the piano and violin and maybe have learned how to play another instrument. If you want to be really smart, choose wisely who you want to marry or date. (But if you are married, I have one word to ask-Why?) Do you still like the people I like? (They were good friends so try to keep in touch!) Just to let you know, don't go out with anyone whose last name starts with a G, O, Q, U, V, W, X, Y, and Z. Please don't, they probably are bad luck! Well, have a fun time as an adult and don't let me down!
BYE!!!!
P.S.-Can you believe that people thought that after 1999 there would be Y2K and that everything that was run on computers would go out! What a laugh!
