A Treasure from 1999

While sifting through my box of paintings and drawings this morning, I found a treasure wrapped up in a manilla envelope. It was a survey I filled out as part of a young women activity, written to my future self. I even wrote a note to myself on the front of the envelope:

Inside you will find keys to my future I think...however I neglected my duties so you will find 3/4 of my survey done and only 2 pictures about my wedding! sorry.

(Please note: There are some spelling errors, incomplete sentences, and wrong tenses used...I will share ALL of these exactly as I wrote them 2 days after turning 14 years old. The above picture was taken in January 1999, posted for reference sake.)
