I was going through my baby book and found a paper I filled out and sealed in an envelope in 1995 to be opened in my 20s. It consisted of a list of goals I would like to have accomplished by the time I opened it and read it. Though some of these can be pretty tender because I still very much want them and they have not been realized, I burst out laughing once I got to the end. Hey, half of these have come to fruition - that should be worth something!!
1. Get Married and have 2 kids
2. Finished College ✔
3. Get a Music Scholarship
4. Gone to Hawaii or Bahamas ✔
5. Been through the temple ✔
6. Ackomplished Tennis (sic)
Number three is no longer a desire since school is no longer a desire.
Number one is still a huge goal for me.
Number six can STILL HAPPEN, RIGHT???????!!!!
NO, WORLD, I HAVEN'T "ACCOMPLISHED" TENNIS - BUT MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T BE SO JUDGMENTAL ABOUT IT. YOU KNOW WHAT I HAVE ACCOMPLISHED? I EMCEED THE TALENT PORTION OF MY FAMILY REUNION EIGHT YEARS AGO. SO. THERE.
Some people even laughed.

Maybe you meant "accomplish a tennis bracelet." That is also one of my goals. If we persevere, we can get there together!
Love you! You're hilarious!
