Chaos!

Good riddance to March! This has been a completely nutty month. So many film sets and late nights. There were some good moments too, but overall just complete March Madness, but not of the basketball sort.

It is nice to have these times occasionally so that it can give us perspective about the rest of our lives. I definitely appreciate a little boredom now. I don't mind not knowing what to do for 30 minutes; it's far nicer than trying to find 30 extra minutes to get things done. I know this will happen again in a few months when my husband does another film. It's the way our life goes. Actually, he is producing another film that will be in production the first 2.5 weeks in May. So, there it goes. Another crazy month to come. I'm going to enjoy April and just try to take it easy!

Film Crew

Alright, so, I'm a little sad after this weekend. This past weekend I was helping my husband out on a film shoot for a student film that he is producing. I was in charge of all the food on set and making sure that people stayed full and happy. Also, I bought a lot of caffeinated sodas to keep them awake when we were up until 4am. I helped out the prior weekend too. Anyway, I really grew to love and appreciate the people I was with. They are hilarious and entertaining, especially after midnight. When you're with people for at least 14 hours a day for several days you really start to enjoy their company. They also celebrated my birthday with me on Friday. I made 48 cupcakes and we ate them with our pizza for dinner. They sang happy birthday to me. I really felt like part of the group and that I added something to the quality of the overall production. I'm truly going to miss them all. I'm excited for a few pick-up days and a wrap party to at least see them all again.
The saddest part for me was realizing today that they all get to see each other all the time at school, but I go off to my regular job. I like the friends and acquaintances I made, but I won't see them too often now. That is something tough about the film business; you get a short-time with everyone that you fall in love with as friends and then when it's over you split off and go back to doing your own things. I went through this last year when Eric directed a play. I still miss some of those people, but I don't think about it nearly as much.
The best part of all this is though is that I constantly get to meet new people and make new friends. I really love meeting new people and learning from them. It's so exciting and when they're famous I'll get to tell people that I knew them way back when. It's good stuff and I can't complain about the opportunity to experience what I did.

First Blog

I have just decided that I want to start a blog. I did one for a few weeks when I was a freshman in college, but it's time for a new one. I hope this is interesting to anyone who reads it. I'll write a little about my life first. I've been married for about 2.5 years now. My husband is still a student at BYU. He is studying film and will graduate this summer. We're very excited for all the potential of our future. We are hoping to move to Los Angeles in the next couple of years if not sooner. Eric wants to be a film producer and I know that he'll do it. He is incredibly talented and ambitious. My ambition is to be a good wife and eventually a good mother. We really want children, but when that happens is not in our control.

I'm just so in love with my life right now. Things are going really well, even though there is a lot of unknown in the next several months. I have a good job working at a technology company (I work in accounting). We're also constantly blessed by our loving Heavenly Father. There are little miracles everyday in our lives. We both feel that this is going to be a great year for us. So much to look forward to, so I will keep you all posted on it.

One last thing, I named this blog "Film Widow" because that is what my mother-in-law calls me when Eric is on long film shoots.
