Happy New Year internet. I was in a sour mood when I last left you wasnt I? What a great note to leave 2008. 2009 is still just as stressful, but thankfully today is my first night sleeping in my own bed in a while. Clean sheets never felt so nice. Ive been busying priming and painting in between the house sitting and packing, which is why this New Year post comes 6 days late.

The New Years Eve dance I mentioned went great. I was nervous about it for number of reasons, but its the natural nervousness that comes with every event I plan – I want things to go well for these kids who worked so hard to put this event on. Some have said its their favorite NYE dance ever, but Im pretty sure they say that every year. I had fun and danced my little heart out with some girls who showed me how to dance like no one was watching. The next morning I felt a bit hung-over and sore all over. Apparently I dont use the muscles that require to dance often.

A good friend of mine got married on Saturday and I got to take her wedding photos. Last of the weddings for me for quite a while. Some asked me why I dont want to shot weddings, and as much as the stress isnt worth it to me, I really dont need a third job! Maybe if I just did youth ministry, maybe. But I really just enjoy seconding shooting weddings so much more than being the lead photographer. The wedding was quick and cute. Editing those photos between a move shall be interesting.

Ive been listening to “Saturn Feild” by Sandra McCracken, which can be found on her newest album, Red Balloon. It feels like a New Years song to me. About things be rearranged and things we cant see and things to hope for. How is that not a New Year, shall we say, new season song? So heres to being newly being rearranged in 2009.
