Okay The story to my picture.
The empty table is picture #4 but I want to write about picture #3 since there isn't much of story with that empty table.

This is the last day of shooting Yankels, a movie I worked on last summer. It was tradition for the caterer's to lay out a white Linen dinner the last day and serve things like Fillet Mignon and King crab legs. We were shooting outside and all night. Our base camp was a empty parking lot downtown Provo. It was September and surprisingly cold. I remember as we ate dinner at 2 am, we got several honks and stares.."what are these crazy people doing eating a fancy dinner in a parking lot with flowers and candles at 2am?".. I remember being so exicted that King crab legs were on my list of seafood safe to eat while pregnant.

Anyways the main thing I wanted to write about is my friend Natalie who I am pictured with in picture #3. Natalie ran the wardrobe trailer, she was also a good friend who help guide me through another "Baptism By Fire" movie experience for me. I love working on film, and I was so excited when I landed this job. They originally wanted me as designer, but heavenly father knew my limits of what I could handle. Pre-produciton prep time clashed with our trip to Australia..something I was not willing to pass up. So I got hired as Set Costumer.

Natalie was so paitent with me as she taught me how to run a smooth wardrobe dept. the right way. Re-teaching me how to do continuity books, setting trailers, extras, amoung other things. She was a super trooper and took on a lot. I am kinda glad this was the picture that was choosen. Because I feel like I can never say thank you enough to Natalie and Christie who were willing to take a chance on me and try me out.

Yankels was the biggest movie I've worked on and my greeness glowed neon bright the first day. These two girls helped protect me from those who were less willing to be paitent with a greenie and stuck by me the whole time. Knowing I could keep up with the high expectations. I am so thankful for all they taught me and I hope I can re-pay them by rembembering all they taught me in the future films I work on. And Boy did I learn a lot.

So here is another sincere thanks for Natalie and Chirstie...Thank you!

Speaking of movies. I got my frist gig since Yankels. Its just pick-up shots for a small local film. Nothing fancy. Since Lily has been doing super with solids and is at the point were she nurses just for comfort. I felt comforitable leaving her for a full day. Not that it was easy, poor Jason got calls from me every two hours to check up on her. Tomorrow is the last day and she will be with Grandam Rino. I've enjoyed working film again, but I've had a hard time missing my little girl. I got the biggest smiles and giggles from her this morning. Reminding me that the joy of her surpasses any other I've known.
