Here are a couple of movies that I helped out with. I posted this on Facebook but didn't post them here, so now I am. The first one I recorded at Halloween. It's the Office Halloween party:
And this next is the top five reasons to be a villain.
Enjoy!

It's the New Year! 2010!
Well, there goes my resolution to not to procrastinate. It's already 12 days into the new year, and here I am posting a little late. Just doing my best here, folks.
2009 was an interesting year for me, and here are some of my highlights:
1. Learning how to play Axis and Allies.
2. Becoming better friends with Ben.
3. Being released as the Relief Society president.
4. Gaining a new nephew in the family. Welcome Monte Duward Jones.
5. Attending my grandpa's funeral.
6. Going on two road trips with Ben--both times to Rexburg, Idaho.
7. Seven Peaks! Free tickets even.
8. Lagoon! Twice. I had to pay both times, but both were good experiences.
9. Watching The Office and finally understanding the obsession this show creates.
10. Going on a lot of good dates.
11. Being kissed. And then kissing.
12. Holding hands.
13. Attending the Broken-hearted Sugar Cookie Party on Valentine's Day.
14. Getting lost in the corn maze in October.
15. Writing. Writing more than I did last year.
16. Teaching as the gospel doctrine teacher.
17. Thanksgiving and Christmas with the family.
18. Buying a new laptop---my sweet, sweet Mac, nicknamed Bernie.
19. Buying a Nintendo DSi. I love playing it when I need a break from reading.
20. Attending a BYU football game--Air Force.
So, it's been an eventful year. And I'm excited for this year to get going. I've made a few resolutions:
1. Read the Old Testament. I'm teaching it, so I might as well read it too.
2. Lose at least 20 pounds. I'm going to do it.
3. Go on more dates. I like dates, but I'm looking for that special guy. He's out there--I know it!
4. Obtain the Young Value of Virtue, which means reading the Book of Mormon.
That's it. Looks like I'll be reading, exercising, and going on dates. Sounds good to me. :)

So exciting to make a video
On Halloween, Dave, Ben, and I dressed up as characters from "The Office." And throughout the night, I took people aside and asked their opinions about the party--Office asides, so to speak. I'm working on putting the footage together into something more enjoyable.
I am impressed with iMovie. It's been very easy to put the footage together and I've figured out to do some really interesting stuff. I want to learn more about it. I love book editing a lot, but film editing is just as satisfying, I've found. Still takes a lot of skill and a little creativity to get everything to click together. It's awesome.
Soon to come, "The Office Halloween Party 2009."

The Guitars
My friends and I like to make movies when we have time... and even when we don't. This is a sequel to the one we made last year. And it was a lot of fun to make. Thanks to my brother Joel for letting us use his house.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

It's October and Getting Chilly
Weather in Utah is funny. One day it's nice and sunny, and the next it's like winter just blasted through. Ah, October.
Going to the corn maze this weekend. Again. It was fun the first time and should be great the second time. This time, though, I plan to have my camera charged up and ready to take some fantastic pictures. I'm really enjoying the black and white option right now. I just love black and white pictures! I can't get enough of them. Recently went to the Hogle Zoo and could not stop taking pictures. I'll post the pictures up as soon as I have time. I think some of them turned out really well.
October has always been a good month for me. I love to see the leaves change color. I want to go up in the mountains and take pictures of the trees. What's stopping me? The cold weather. And the short amount of light. I'll have to go on a Saturday during the daytime. I expect to get some amazing shots. So look out trees! Here comes Melissa with her camera.

So sorry---it's been way busy
So I basically dropped off the face of the earth, and now I'm repenting.
I have been way busy with all sorts of stuff going on in my life. I guess the first matter of business is that I am no longer the RS president in my singles ward. Please, no gasping. After two and half years of service, it was time for me to be released. I miss it sometimes. Definitely have felt a lot lighter recently... and a sense of relief that I no longer have meetings at 9:30 in the morning.
The second matter of business is I never imagined being a friend would bring so much drama. Can't really give any details here, but it's been an emotional roller coaster and at times, I'm barely hanging on. Things are evening out, so to speak, but trust has been broken and it's going to take a while for it to actually be repaired. Life is cruel at times.
On the other hand, my job is going well. Cedar Fort just had one of our author's be on Oprah! Yay for the company. The book is Shattered Silence, and seems to be doing well. We'll see how long it lasts, but Oprah recommended it, and mentioned it a few times on her show. That's exciting.
So, no, I'm not dead, nor have I forgotten about this blog. I actually want to post more, so maybe you'll see more in the future. Here's hoping to better times.
