I am happy to be closing my chapter in 2009 and the past decade. I'm excited for a new opportunity and a new decade to look forward to!
This evening I opened up a Time Capsule my sweet Young Women leaders made for us when I was a Beehive in 1999. They included pictures, some letters from our parents, our leaders, and our favorite things from back then. In there was this list:
What I hope to accomplish by 2010
1. Graduate from High School w/scholarship for BYU {hahaha..ahem}
2. Go on a mission (if not married)
3. Get all of my Y.W. Medallions
4. Get married
5. Have kids
6. Have reunion with my friends
7. Meet Brad Robbins and get a date with him {this was my Beehive leader's nephew, ha!}
8. Go to Senior Prom
9. Go to Germany, France, Hawaii & Florida
10. Meet someone famous
11. Asked out a lot!
12. Go to college (BYU or U of U)
13. Make a million more friends
14. Become rich
15. Get a nice, nice car - VW Beetle Red {oh how I want to kick 12 year old Sammi..}
There you have it. From the very hand of Sam back in 1999. Obviously most of these things have not been accomplished, but I have done a bit in the past ten years I'm rather proud of...

I love you Samantha Maria Correcta! :) We will do much 10 years from now! :) I think we should do one of those now and see what we have at our 30's!
Isn't it great to see the things we wrote when we were young. :0) However, I do think you accomplished some pretty impressive things in the last 10 years and I have no doubt that the next 10 will be good as well. You are amazing! Good luck w/ the new goals.
