"20 Years from Now"

Today, on my 29th birthday, my mom sent me a letter I wrote 20 years ago.  I got to the sentence where it says "I might be pregnant" and I simply lost it.  I can't explain why the hysteria, but if you read on, you'll see that I really had a pretty clear vision of what my life "might" look like.  It's eerie how accurate I was (except about living in Florida - I think that was because we went there for spring break and I wanted to basically go on spring break for the rest of my life.)  My tears turned to laughter as the randomness of the letter picks up towards the end.  I guess that's what I thought an almost 30 year old did!  Reading this letter gave me a real sense that I have really accomplished more than I give myself credit for - and 3rd grade Laura may, in fact, approve of this older and wiser Laura.  I really do have everything I could ask for, and I feel so blessed to have the a sense that I am truly at the mountaintop right now.  Enjoy.
