McCord's movie #3, Weekly Update

"The House with the Blue Door" has started filming in Park City! We are thrilled that they hired McCord on as a PA (Production Assistant) and Extras Coordinator for this movie. Yes, they are paying him! Woo! He will be vigorously working on set M-F 5am-10pm for the next 2 weeks. He has also finished up post production for the 20 min scary short film. Classes start the end of August for him at SLCC and he's excited to be majoring in film.
I am still looking for a job as a CNA, or any job for that matter. We are loving SLC and hope to stay here for longer than a year (we haven't been in one place for longer than a year yet, new grounds for us.)

Pictures and Happenings the last little while:

Elder Jared Day:
Can't believe my little brother is an Elder! His papers are in and he's off to Germany for the next 2 weeks. He's been touring southern Germany and loving it. He'll return home and we'll open his mission call then. Turns 19 in Oct. So excited for you, J. We know you'll do famously.

Private, 1st class, Jake Sorenson:
Can't believe that Jake will leave for the war in october. I'll have 2 brothers leaving in october. Jake left today for training, and will leave to go overseas in october for 1 year. He'll be training until he leaves. We know he'll do great and we are so proud of you for serving this great country. Soldiers now-a-days deserve a lot of credit for offering up their lives for our citizens. We are SO glad that Jake has chosen to serve.


Uncle Gary's Ordination:

FINALLY FINALLY, after 50+ years of not being active in the church, McCord's uncle Gary (Paul's oldest sibling) received the melchezadic (sp?) preisthood. It was a wonderful experience to be there! Paul gave the ordination and so many tears were shed. McCord got to stand in the circle and that was a HUGE opportunity for him. This goes to show you that ANYONE can come back to the church to open arms if they want to. =) We love you, Uncle Gary.

Angie and Adam are closing on a house:
They found the cutest house in Mendon and they'll be closing on it next week. They've been searching long and hard for a place to call home and we are glad they found it!

Jo made the drumline on tenors and Nate on saxophone!:
Geez, the growing up never ceases. Jo's been practising hard to make the drumline this year at Sky View and he pulled it off. Nate made it on sax, and is contemplating running for student body officer. Looking forward to a great year of watching them perform. Jo will be 17 in sept and Nate will be 16 in April (driving, eek!). They both are planning on being on the track team this year as well as being brainiacs in school.


Larsen girls are in town:
This is the first time we've all been together in the last 1.5 years.
Courtni is back from 2 years in Australia and moving back to California. We are glad to have the whole family on the same continent again. =) It'll be so nice. We went to Bear Lake with the Larsen clan last week and it was so fun!
Mauri came from Minnesota this month and her car broke down in Nebraska. So McCord and I went with Mauri on a 24 hr. road trip to get her car back. It was great fun and good times.
