and just like that...

exams were finished, and i headed home to nevada.

christmas came and went.

time was spent with my family.

and just like that...

it's another a new year.

i am happy + sad to say goodbye to 2010. it brought a lot of change for me. a new adventure in a new town. a new home. a new school. new surroundings and new friends. new independence. and new dependence at the same time.

but it was also the year i said goodbye to my grandpa for the last time. and even in this new year with promises of a fresh start, i still find myself sad. grieving. heartbroken. desperate to hold on to my memories.

which also makes me sad that i didn't do a better job of taking photos and blogging in 2010. i have a terrible memory, and i rely on this blog so much to remember the past.

so it's a new year. with new opportunities for all kinds of new stories. and hopefully i will keep up with documenting them.
