Letter to Myself

Dear Self:
Hello Cora, this is you. I have realized that for someone with the silly idea that someday she won't remember who she is, I've been failing you in my duty to help you remember if you so desire. So that you will know this is in fact you, check your tummy. You have 2 moles. One is kinda large and it is on the right side of your tummy. The other is about 2.5 inches diagnolly from your belly button. The eye lashes on your right eye are a bit longer than the left, and you have a scar from being burned on a pizza pan on your left arm that's about as thick as your pinky.
Tee hee! If this is not useful for the purpose I am writing it, it will at least be amusing to look back on. Right now, I (you) are 18 years old. My hair is finally long enough to play with behind my back and I've discovered that I do love wild earrings. I'm going to write the basics. I really hope that you will have family to be there with you when you read this. It would be hard to be on your own and not know who you are.

There are 8 people including me in my family. Dad, Mom, (Me), John, Elise, James, Michelle, and Ruth. I am LDS (mormon) and I Love it. If you don't know who you are, flip open a Book of Mormon, and a Bible and start reading. I'm kind of a geek, I went to NUAMES with John and made friends like crazy. I worked at Camp Bartlett, and hope to go back this summer.
My best girl friend is probably Stephanie Paulsen. We tell eveyone we're twins, and it might as well be true. I've only ever had one boyfriend. He's still my bestfriend, but right now he is on a mission to South Africa and he doesn't need to be anything but a missionary right now.
Actually, I've really failed at writing in this blog recently because I wasn't ready to face the emotions I felt at him leaving. He got called to the South Africa, Cape Town Mission (SACTM) and I write him letters every week. They're kept in a folder by my desk.

I suppose that's a proper enough introduction. Dear self, I will try not to fail you. I will write frequently in this blog and you'll learn as you read. Don't worry, you're mostly a great person who just makes mistakes. Happy Reading!
