The Previews

Dearest Future Children of Mine,

You lucky little whippersnappers!  You are destined to be the three (possibly four) greatest human beings to walk the planet!

I'm joking. But seriously.

First of all, I hope your names are chosen from the following:
Charlotte Grace, Evelyn Rose, Emma Leigh, Jane Elizabeth, James Aaron, Clark James, James Steele, etc. etc.*
*Yes, I do love the name James.
**And yes, I do have your names picked out already. I'm a teenage girl, what do you want from me?

I am dedicating my personal history to you, in hopes that you might be able to—in the far, far, FAR future—know a little bit about my life and what it was like to grow up in my family.

I don't know a lot about my parents' upbringings.  I don't even know when they got baptized, or what their hobbies were, or what my grandparents were like as young parents.  I wish I knew.  And it is for that reason that I want to tell you about my life and all the people who were involved in raising me to be who I am now.

I want you to know the darkest, saddest times of my young life and the mistakes I made.  I want you to know those sweet, joyous moments of happiness in my life.  I want you to know me.

What I have devised is a chronology of my life through the movies I have seen, starting with the first one I remember and continuing until the present day, 2012, as I am a Junior at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah.  I thought this might be a more interesting theme than simply presenting you with a timeline. Besides, watching movies is my greatest hobby. (You can write that one down.)

So, here goes.

Love,
Me
