This summer my brother, Nick, and I attempted to dig up a time capsule that we buried about 16 years ago. We buried it at our summer camp. It was a pretty amusing event. Nick and I are digging...I'm wearing Jeremy's sneakers two sizes too big. Every family member is yelling and saying we are digging in the wrong place, even though they didn't even remember us burying a time capsule so many years ago. We kept hearing a "clink" and it would make us so excited...only to be disappointed to discover it was only a rock. Long story short...we did not find the time capsule...but I remembered that I kept a journal that year at camp and I drew a map of where we buried it. (see picture below) This journal was at home, so when we got back from vacation I found the journal and looked at the map...
We were SO close! Probably just inches away!
But this is not the side story I was talking about...this was the pre-side story.
The real side story: When I found my journal that had the map in it, I saw that I made a pledge to myself. It read, "I Caitlin, swear to write in this book everyday of camp for the rest of my life starting in 1997 at the first day of camp. Signed, Caitlin Rossi" So I was feeling nostalgic and decided to flip through the journal. I read the first entry...talking about how my cousin Jeremy's wedding was the next day, I listened to the new Spice Girls album, and that I was watching 20/20 now that T.G.I.F was over. The last sentence of the entry was "Well got to check out, I'll write tomorrow." So I flip the page...
Empty! Hahahaha, I couldn't believe it! (well I could...that's totally like me) Only ONE entry...but I swore to myself...I even signed it!
Which brings me to my point...I'm not going to swear to myself, and I won't sign anything, but I do hope that I will post in this blog everyday...or almost everyday!
Well got to check out, I'll write tomorrow ;)
