Oh the places you'll go! - Dr. Seuss

Well mates, another year has come and gone.
I feel older,which is a good and bad thing I guess. Over this year, I have had the great opportunity to travel quite a bit. By no means is this the end, but these are a few places my feet have stood in 2014. I got this idea from this photographer who traveled the whole world and took pictures following his girlfriend. If you have time you should check it out, its pretty awesome.

Good times in Apt 2511

I haven't posted too many pictures to Facebook this semester, it just seems like a hassle. So here is an assortment of inside jokes and good memories of Fall 2014.

Rebecca hates reduced fat anything, but we really wanted brownies and that's all Marisa had. There were a lot of reduced-fat jokes that night. Since then, Sunday night has become traditionally brownie night.

Literally rolling.... I can't remember what was so funny.

Trying to take a selfie, but as per usual I am laughing at everyone else.

Playing Ultimate football in the rain... Two nights in a row

Arm wrestling late one night, Desi and Megan are both beasts!

From Twister Spelling to anemometers (measuring wind), I am always working on a project for my students.

Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas, but I am not allowed to sing Christmas music or watch Christmas movies until the day after Thanksgiving, according the roommates.

This weekend one of my best friends in the world got married! I met her in China and she was my partner in crime. 

Sharing a bed, just like in China :)

At the rehearsal dinner, love this girl!

THINGS THAT MAKE MOLLY HAPPY:]
- brownies (not the reduced fat kind)
-1 more day of classes until break!
-watching Walking Dead with the roommates and Shelbourne 8
- good health
-diet coke (though this is counter productive for previously said good health)
-watching extravadance, this semester is was so good
-new beginnings
-friends who watch out for me, and don't ever leave me behind
- getting manicures at the hair school
-its getting warmer outside!
-the roommates are doing secret santa!! yay!

I See The Light

Currently listening to: Tangled soundtrack

THINGS THAT MAKE MOLLY HAPPY:]

- I am a maid of honor!

-I love being a teacher. My days are full of Twister Spelling, reading aloud, making clouds from cotton balls, and helping students subtract 3 digit numbers

- My roommates told me "Molly, you're going to be one of those really cool soccer mom's." I'll take that as a compliment :)

-Music, especially Christmas music because it snowed!

-Sarah picked me up for class, and made me smores flavored hot chocolate!

-bonfires

- Lighting some floating lanterns in Rexburg for Kaylee's bridal shower

"Standing on the rooftop, everyone scream your heart out.".

Currently listening to: Lost Prophets

"Read everyday. Never stop dreaming and traveling. Life is to short to settle for average in life." 

A little pick me up for the weekend. It's almost crunch time, with only 4 weeks left in my last semester of college. Whoooah. 

"are we alone? are we in control? can we choose to play a different role?"

Currently listening to: Our Last Night

So my life for the last month.... Has been full of adventures and me wanting to pull my hair out of frustration. 

 Name tags and apples... story of my life.

Me and the bestie on the SECOND day of school... still counts right? 

View from the top of the stadium

Roommies and cookies. Bliss

When your teacher brings in chips and salsa and you try a new kind and its delicious. 

I am the mastermind behind this. Marisa fell into a comatose state for 4 hours. We tried even to physically pull her off the couch and she still didn't wake up. Ere go we needed to draw on her. Since this incident it has been established that only your bed is a safe zone to fall asleep. 

It was a rough few weeks of school...

Bonfires are my favorite way to spend the weekend. Even better when its in the mountains with no cell reception and great company.

* When you get the same haircut as your best friend. 

** Even better when you have all the same classes and sit next to each other in each class.

Dat's right. I'ma teacher these days.

My and my roommate!

                           Ultimate football in the rain... two nights in a row. Epic and awesome.

Longboarding in the rain... Not the safest idea but very soothing and wonderful.
