and so it is...an end to 2010

here's to:

turning 20. what a useless age, but it has to be included.
john mayer. i would slow dance in a burning room with him anyday.
LADIES NIGHT. epic. set the bar high.
ADPi owning Airbands. move, shake, droppp.
my first merlefest experience. turkey leg and all.
fighting with organic chemistry. winning.
rockbridge and BSB singalongs. seriously. bless the Lord, oh my soul.
tennis. unnecessary drama.
falling in love with childbirth and cutting the cord!
moving into apartment life with some besties
my dad deeming our apartment the Den of Sin
our apartment living up to its name...sort of ;)
Lauren and Kent on SYTYCD. they collided, and it was brilliant.

volunteering at the obgyn clinic, remembering spanish, and counting my blessings.
hannah and harrison becoming hanze.
rjd. it only is what it was.
roadtrip to wilmy with bre. all that ihop we (i) ate.
the video we made on the way home that is lost forever...
getting raped by that first orgo 2 test.
meeting God at Beach Weekend with Intervarsity. dum dums, sharing, praying, and tears.
GUYS NIGHT! planned, prepped, executed.
bre finding her love.
discipleship with Carie Mac and Frannie. uplifting.
forced to work with the oldies. loving the oldies.
God starting to work through greek intervarsity.
granddaddy flyin' away that morning. the leaves had barely started to change.
yellow roses.
tapping again. blisters never felt so good.
social dance with landon. the cha cha can be tamed.
toughest exam week to date. conquered. (only with lots of crap food, obscene videos, and PRAYER)
my class ring? have i really made it this far?
hearing granny laugh out loud again.
realizing what i want in a moment isn't necessarily what i want in the long-run.
calling it like i see it. putting the fire out before the burn.
mama's ring. mama's much deserved Christmas.
reuniting with the lovely katie nashland. 'i have a friend..'
time for reflection.

and to lots of other feelings, moments, ups, downs, prayers whispered, words that needed to be said that weren't, and looks given that probably should have been better concealed, obstacles, and accomplishments...now simply locked in time. perhaps they'll come back to me briefly as some part of my future dances through an experience that demands a recollection. until then, 2010. until then.
