Heres to 2010!

hello... HAPPY 2010! Or in Molly words the year of 200% :) 
I leave in the morning, its 1am we have to leave home at 7am and of course im not fully packed, but almost :). I cant believe its already time to go back. I cant believe its 2010. I cant believe a whole lotta the way life works. But thats why its wonderful


So 2010! Crazy. 2009 was a jammed packed year, with lots of big happenings and so much learning and growing and love and sunshine and just sooo much..
I turned 18, let go of something i had been holding onto for far too long, found a lot of new and exciting feelings, faced the biggest challenge of my life, and watched my mom turn around 360 degrees as I sat on the sidelines feeling it all and blown away at life, met so many great people, experienced the week that changed my life at Young RYLA and found a whole new family/way of life/ favorite thing in the universe,  Graduated high school,  Stressed for months about where I'd go to school and how I'd get there, Got into my dream school and miraculously found out I could actually come, started college, moved to a new state, and oh sooo much more. Holy wow.
ski team, soccer, crazy knee surgery, prom, graduation, x games, young ryla, provin grounds, ib tests, financial aid chaos, summer nights, stars, sunshine, an amazing support group, some of the biggest ups and downs ever and crazy emotions, best friends, oh man the list goes on.


it was by no means an easy year, but who the heck would I be if life came easy, i learned so much, i saw so much, i found a new faith in life and was reminded again and again that things happen for a reason and somehow life works out quite nicely.  
i havent really thought about this, but i really think this last year was a big growth year for me, a big year to figure out myself and the things that i can hold onto and the way i look at life.  i feel like i have things to live by and live for maybe more than ever. its been an amazing year. and i feel sooooo unbelievably fortunate to be where i am, loving life and learning so much with so much love and sunshine and adventure. i could go on for days.


and now its time for 2010, another year of so much new and learning and growing and fantasticness. oh boy, i cant even wait. i love just being excited for life, excited to see what happens, where it takes me, and how i have continued to grow by the end of the year. life is one wonderful, beautiful, amazing thing. I can only hope for lots more sunshine, love, adventure, learning, growing, seeing the world, laughing, giving and just living.  The best thing about life is we get to live it, every day every moment and we get to choose just how we do it. And I wanna do just that, live it, every moment, and soak it all up, cause there are so many great things out there to soak up :) oh boy


I'm going back to school tomorrow and I am way excited. Excited for my 2nd floor swig family who i love so dearly, more fun and laughing, new interesting classes to make me question and explore more, meeting new people, adventuring, scotty being near by, skiin in tahoe, oh boy so much. Its hard to leave the mountains, this absolutely beautiful place that i am so lucky to call home.  Leaving has reminded me so much how amazing it is, which makes it hard to leave but awesome knowing ill be back, and of course i will and it will be as beautiful as ever. Ill miss my mom near by all the time, i'll miss my friends and ill miss the comfort of home.  But as Kerry said you cant ever learn if you dont leave something behind. And its soo true, plus nothing is leaving forever. So Yayyyy


Here's 2010...a wonderful year of learning, dancing, growing, dreaming and so much more. And to second quarter of freshmen year full of all the same. :)
