2014 has been good to me.to sum it up:

-i lived in china

when given the option to climb an ancient chinese tortoise, always say yes. always. and pose for chinese people who are not discreetly taking your photo.

- i learned to white water kayak

- i graduated college with my BA

since the age of 17, i have wanted to be a teacher

 naturally I needed an apple

- on valentine's day,i had my floating lanterns moment just like in tangled

- i got over my picky eating thing. if it's digestible i'll down it

 

- i was front row at an international music festival, and i was treated like a celebrity 

we got to meet the band Lit "we were so surprised to look out and see white people in the crowd!"

the buses were closed when we tried to head home after the concert, so this was the only logical solution. Obviously.

-i was maid of honor for one of my best friends

the night before the big day- one last night sharing a bed!

- after living in washington almost my whole life, i was finally able to see all the sights in seattle! pikes place, the space needle, and- to the disgust of my family- the gum wall! i decided i love western washington and want to live there someday.

i love these girls! thanks so much for not leaving me stranded in seattle!

- hit my 2 yr mark for NEC (no evidence of cancer for all those medical newbs)

- traveled to early church history sites throughout the u.s.


- spent countless hours at the lake messing around with friends

Lindsey was my lifesaver this summer at Co-Ag! Fun times at Sun Up bay with her 

 - continued the tradition of going to warped tour, this time in seattle

reminiscing about my curly hair after chemo... i miss it!

-2 epic nights in a row where i played football in the rain ( and won... minor detail...)

 by no means am i this great athlete, but its kind of the greatest feeling when people say "make sure you cover molly!" and then catching the ball in my little cradle. a-maaaa-zing

- and made great friendships.

I am so grateful for all the support from my family and friends to follow my dreams.

Christmas Eve with family

Cheers to another epic year. Off to live in a new city, find a job as a teacher,  work at Zion National Park, and go on many more crazy adventures.

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.
