back-to-school

yesterday was my last first day of school. and it really did feel like the beginning of the end (of high school, at least). and it was really, really strange.

there is so much that needs to be done, and so much i want to do. i'm feeling very stressed and incredibly excited at the same time. the next year seems so much more important to the rest of my life than the ones before. my goal for this year is to be in the moment, every moment. i want to be able to look back and clearly remember the good times, and the stressful times.

today, being in the moment means doing a few crazy calculus problems, reading some geography chapters, and looking for a camera on craigslist...i guess i should get back to the moment...

enjoy the beautiful weather!

happy valentine's day!

i wanted to wish everyone happy valentine's day!

i hope you have a valentine this year, but if not i hope that you spend it with friends, because i truly believe that can be the best way to spend it. and i hope that i'll see you guys tonight 'cause we all know where the real party is at!

"multiply it by infinity, take it to the depths of forever and you'll still only have a glimpse of how much i love you."

taking the temperature

the past few days we have had the most gorgeous weather, beautiful sunny days and i am so grateful! i have been in the best mood, and i really think that it is all because of the weather! i was out walking, and i was only wearing a tee shirt, and i realized that i wasn't shivering or cold at all.

i can't wait for spring!

in a little while i'm going to tie quilts for the seniors, which is so exciting and sad. i will miss everyone who is leaving so much but at the same time i know they are going to grow and have amazing experiences. it's weird to think that it will never be like this again...

every day i get college brochures in the mail and i am starting to realize that i will be applying to college this year. in less than six months. i feel like i've waited my whole life to get to right now and suddenly it's really scary. i'm ready to go to college and be independent but i know that i will miss right now. so even though it's junior year, and life is stressful i am determined to enjoy every day because it will never be like this again :]

hugs and kisses,
molly

first post!

i'll admit it: i was peer pressured into blogging :]

i keep hearing about brooke's adorable blog, and the "one hundred things" posts, and i wanted to try it!
so i came home today and made myself a blog...

the thing is now i feel like i have to personalize it, and make it perfect. so i'll probably spend the rest of my day trying to get the format just right, and customizing my page, and all that good stuff!

wish me luck! i love you all!

your new blogger,
molly
