words, 2012, and maybe 2013

So today has made me contemplate this year. And since we're only 6 days into it, that's kind of a problem.

Today I was offered a synth part in Minnesota Brass, which is a drumline corp. I was in drumline in high school and decided to quit after my junior year so I could work. And that is probably the one and only thing I regret in my life. As soon as I was told there was an opening I was interested but there were a couple things going through my mind

• how much does it cost
• when would I work
• how often do you practice
• and how often are shows 

Money has always been in an issue in my life, but only because I make it one. It's not like I'm a billionaire but I'm also not poor, so theoretically I shouldn't be so worried about it. However, to make me worry even more I just bought a new car and have monthly payments to make, and I know that I can make them, maybe even easily but it freaks me out to even think about it.

And because I'm always worried about money, I'm therefore always worried about how much I need to work.

The real world kind of sucks, and so does reality.

Anyone with advice, feel free to chime in. I know you're out there when I view my stats of blog posts read.

Anyway, on to my 2012 recap. For whatever reason I decided to do one.
While I'm not going month to month because my life is truly not that exciting.

my top 6 moments of 2012(in chronological order, but not in best-"worst"):

I started the year off with a Brad Paisley concert, from my parents for christmas. 

I went to the Basilica Block party with these guys. Seriously, it was the BEST TIME! Making it an annual thing now. (Also, the reason I added this blurry picture, is because I love it. I love that everyone is so happy in it. 

This guy, got me involved in TEC! I don't have pictures from the weekend, so this one in the mountains will have to do! I love TEC and every person I met on the weekend. 

I met this amazing group of people, 2 of which are from MN and one from SD. 

I crossed my number 1 concert wish, off my bucket list. 

(Coldplay) 

I did my very first photoshoot!

As far as resolutions or goals for 2013. I'm not much of a resolution person, I think that you can start something new any day of the year so why associate it with the beginning of the year? Anyway, the only real goal I have is to become a better photographer. 

And to remember to put watermarks on any pictures posted here. 

Thanks for reading this extremely long post!
