It's been ages since I've blogged. (mostly because of how busy we've been... and a little bit because I'm just that lazy) But allow me to catch you up to speed.
I am currently the Assistant Manager at the Amazing Pictures location in Disney's Hollywood Studios' AFI. I was promoted after only two weeks of working there, with zero experience in their line of business. *Yes, this would be me patting myself on the back.* I LOVE my job. The people I work with are amazing and, short of being the Mouse himself, I'm pretty sure I have the funnest job at Disney. What do I do, you ask? Allow me to show you:
This is me as Moe, Curly, & Larry's "dummies" (one of my all time fave pics b/c I didn't even know which picture I was being put in and made those faces randomly. awesome, right?)
This is me as (from L to R) Anakin, Padme, Luke, and Leia
This is me and Annette as Jack Sparrow... excuse me, CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow (thank you, Taylor)... and his .. uh... wench. ;)
So, yeah. Needless to say, my job is awesome. Taylor does quite the opposite. He has been doing demo on houses and tearing apart sheet rock with his dad's restoration company. He's pretty much like a kid in a candy store... with a sledge hammer. You're jealous, I know.
Other than work, we have just been living a normal life. We're still residing with Mama and Papa Smith here in Windermere as we save up for our own place. They are awesome to let us mooch off of them while we get on our feet and I could not be more grateful for such amazing in-laws. In recent news, we had some Fourth of July festivities with a family in our ward. The boys shot off a pretty impressive fireworks display while we all watched. Except I got a little more than I bargained for when one of the "shrapnel" from a roman candle landed on the back of neck. (see exhibit A below) It is now beautifully peeling and scabbing and getting in the way of pretty much every daily task from washing my hair to dressing myself. I guess I need to learn to be more patriotic or something... Whatever.
All in all, life is grande in it's own complicated, trial-filled, sorta way. But we are very blessed to have each other, a roof over our heads, and the gospel in our lives. Can't really ask for more. All our love to our family & friends out in cyber space!
