Last Letter to Self
This is Lauren’s last letter to herself, before she started journaling. This was after her freshman year in High School. It mentions William again, but introduces her new crush Bryan.
A Yearly Update (Re-post)
This note was previously published to give an idea to those following what she wrote and at different times of her life. If you read the previous two notes, she mentions she had no BF or BFF. She found her BFF by the time summer came around. She loved hang out with Brianna and her family.
Before Lauren started keeping journals, at a very young age she wrote herself a note every year before her birthday. This is the note she wrote to herself when she was 12 years old. In the note she refers to GLASA which stands for Greater Lewisville Area Soccer Association. This note was gifted to her grade school BFF mentioned in the note.
It’s Me
Lauren wrote two notes to herself in early 2005. She was already worldly traveler at 12 years old. Not sure why she was upset with Mr. Hameric. Again, she tells herself not to do drugs.

To and From
This note was written in the Fall of 2004, but Lauren did not date this note. I am always amazed at her handwriting at 12 years old. She mentions Boe one of our cats that she named. There was always debate over how his name was spelled. The name came from the instrument she played in band, the oboe. Toby, her bother, did insist on many occasions that the cat’s name was spelled Bow. A debate he always lost.

First Note to Self
This is Lauren’s first note to self at the age of 11 in the year 2003. Over the next few days you will see the notes she wrote at a young age. Notice the writing slightly changes and the lines become more.
The P.S. is so bitter sweet. I wish she had listened to herself.
