I completed my first full year at the school where I teach (I wish I could insert pictures of my little darlings, but you know, legalities....)
shared in many friends' weddings
directed a great vocal ensemble
starred in a theatre show
and bought a house!
For the lows, which need not be shown through pictures, I also got in a car accident, developed a small vocal node (a vocalist's worst nightmare), resigned from my church conducting job that I really enjoyed, and developed (but recovered from) a small cyst on my wrist from overuse.
Overall, I am counting my blessings more than the other crap from the year, because it was a great one.
I am very excited to see what 2013 will bring to the table. I feel like 2012 was like the start of a new book for me, and this next year will be the plot and character development that unfolds.
Happy New Year to you all!
