as promised.

Here is the last video from the SHIFT training, my personal narrative:

what I've been up to

I'm here in St. George with 2 amazingly fun teachers from my school!  We've been working at learning how to incorporate film into our curriculum.  Yesterday we planned, filmed, edited and produced a "9 sentence" film (a film written in only 9 sentences, with no dialogue).  Luckily, Lyv was in town and stars as our adorable actress.  Check it out:

Our second video was a Public Service Announcement:

Stay tuned for the Personal Narrative (which should be completed within the next few hours...)

happy day

Samuel and I are celebrating our 2 year anniversary!  We took the day off yesterday to go to the tulip festival, have lunch, and do some shopping.  We spent the night in Park City, and are back home today to get things done around here.

Two things I love about Samuel, after being married for two years:


1. When Samuel works, he works hard.  But when it is time to relax, Samuel stops to take photos of beautiful vistas or pretty flowers, he drives me out of the way to go to little book stores, and turns down the music to share his big ideas.

2. Samuel is very loyal.  When he commits to something or someone--especially family-- he will stick by it to the bitter end.  A great quality in a spouse, if you ask me.

Happy anniversary, Samuel.  I love you a lot.
