Wow...

I guess I should keep everyone updated huh? That would be great.

This summer I went camping twice. Not that interesting I know, but it was fun for me. The first time I went camping it was for 6 days? So a whole entire week. Went to Grand Haven like usual with Teri, Amy, Roger, Angel, and Mary. Ended up going to the beach a bunch of times, so I got my basis for a tan. It was awesome, except for when we went swimming in a red flag. That was interesting. I'm not a very good swimmer, but Matt was there to help me back in. lol. Did I mention I caught a frog?




Then my birthday came. Brandon sent me on a shopping spree that was filled with books, clothes, and a series on DVD. (I won't tell you what, because then everyone will know I'm truly a geek at heart.) So that was great and fun! The day after my birthday I went camping with Brandon's family. It was so much fun. Except for the huge spiders! (No pics, was to damn scared of them) We ended up sleeping in the van our last night there because the tent zipper broke and I didn't want to sleep with the spiders.... Eww. Well we ended up swimming almost everyday, went tubing where I found some cool shells. We also went and climbed Sleeping Bear dunes. It only took us a half hour to do it. If we go next year, I'll be ready for it! Oh did I mention? We caught a snake! I was the first one to hold it, besides Brandon's dad. Brandon took a good 10 minutes not wanting to hold it. He even told me that if I threw it at him, he'd break up with me... So I didn't. But he held it eventually...






Then after that, was me and Brandon's 1 year anniversary. We went to dinner and then saw the new Harry Potter movie. It was really awesome, and we had a great time.

So now that I've caught you up, look for part 2. This isn't all that's been going on, but I'm gonna be leaving work soon, so I got to scram!

Flying High in the Sky

That's right, I did it. I went skydiving. It was definitely awesome! Something that I want to do over and over again. To bad it's so expensive... Oh well. I got some pictures that I took, and then Brandon is going to take pics off of the video. So everyone can see me fly. It was a great experience. And for anyone wanting to do it, just do it. You won't regret it.

Ah, it's been awhile

I guess I should try and write some more often. Some stuff has happened since my last post.

First of all, I found a website to help me with my writing, so I'm still working hard on writing my book. http://chuckpalahniuk.net He is one of my favorite authors, and I was really excited to have found out that there is a place where I could get other authors to critique my work. And I get to see what everyone else is doing! :D It's been frustrating, but this will make my writing better.

Also, June 3rd, Shadow got put to sleep. She had a really bad seizure and something was found on her liver. So instead of having her suffer, my mom put her down. It's very sad and she will be missed.



Last but not least, I'm going skydiving tomorrow!!! I'm excited but scared!

Friday The 13th

Just a perfect time to release the photos! I made up four posters for the movie using photoshop. I enjoy photoshop so much. I should learn to do more stuff with it...

End of April...

So Brandon is making a movie at the end of April. I'm helping out as much as I can. I'm going to be head of Clean-up Crew and also help with Set Decorating. We are supposed to start shooting at the end of April, hopefully it will go well. We are shooting for doing it in a couple days. Not sure how much that will work, but whatever. After he gets it all edited we are going to have a cast-screening and then a screening of the film at Wealthy Theater. It's gonna be great times!

I've spent most of my night figuring out what one of the posters is going to look like. Font, color, stuff like that. I will post my creations when I can. Right now all I'm planning on doing when I get out of work is create the background for the Myspace, and then a different poster for it. I also need to work on creating a photo look like it's drawn and all that. It shouldn't take too long, but being a perfectionist it'll take a while...

I also started writing again on my story. I really want to finish it, but just kind of went away from it. I don't have any new photo's. It's still cold, and I'll have a lot more once the movie starts.
