About a month ago I opened up a time capsule I had made as a Laurel in Young Women. I wasn't supposed to open it yet--I even remembered an item I had put in--but I was cleaning out stuff I had taken from home and didn't feel like storing it. Here's what was inside:- A cutout of a cat: "I (heart) cats! They're so cute and I love their individual personalities. I'm so not a dog person. I also (heart) pigs. (oinksnort!)" [That used to be a nickname between me and my friend.]
- A cutout of an ice cream cone: "Ice cream is the best thing on earth! Especially Rocky Road. Yum! Ice cream is my biggest weakness. I (heart) the taste, texture, smell, look, coldness, chocolateness, etc. We always have tons of half-gallons at my house. It's the family junk food! So dig in!" [My love for ice cream has diminished considerably since working at Baskin Robbins.]
- Pictures from junior prom: one of me, Kaitlyn, and Noelle; one of John Slagle (Kaitlyn's date) and Israel Narvaez (my date)
- Fabric from my senior ball dress
- The business card of my private flute teacher
- A note from my friend Kaitlyn and another from Francine and Tammy
- A pig figurine (bride and groom)
- Picture of me wearing a newspaper hat, with schoolgirls in Japan
- The CD case of Mormon Tabernacle Choir's "Consider the Lilies" [This is the one item I remembered putting in.]

That's a fun time capsule. I especially liked the list of things that you wrote about what your future would hold, as well as what you were like when you were 17!
I love it! Aren't those fun? I am pretty sure I made a time capsule when I was younger, but now I can't remember where it is... haha That's a cool thing to do though, its neat to look back and see what things are the same and what has changed. Thanks for posting, that was fun to read! :)
