"The sweetness of addiction" is McCord's FIRST video that he's done - this was a project for one of his classes. It had to be one minute long and couldn't use 'real time' sounds (closing doors, footsteps, etc). YES, he did it all - writing/directing, editing/sound, etc. The only thing he didn't do was the camera work. The "shady character" in the movie is actually McCord too. =) Enjoy!...and please leave comments.

8 years ago...
8 years ago on September 11th. We will never forget how we felt that day. McCord and I always reflect about that day and how America kinda came together. Yes, it was so tragic, but it's important that we look back and learn from what happened, remember how we felt that day, and let that day govern whatever choices you have for the future. Whatever your political views, etc. We all know that 8 years ago, the horrible happenings changed each individual of our nation. More people were saying prayers for others and themselves. More people came home to love their families, and more people were grateful for what they had instead of be greedy for whatever was being advertised through the tv.
Our experience this Sept 11th:
We were randomly driving in downtown SLC when we came across this.
McCord and I shed tears. We love this country and have been in Germany for those 6 months at the beginning of this year. We never saw anything like the patriotism that the US has while we were there. The sight of this...We couldn't believe our eyes. We both just couldn't believe it.
They held a ceremony for the soldiers that have died in the war, fighting for our families and our freedom. Here are the mothers of the lost soldiers, they all hugged each other, strangers, but they all had one thing in common. The mothers cried when the roll call was sounded and their son's names were read and there was no answer of "here" from the soldiers. They played taps and all the soldiers present soluted.
The fire truck that was there let us go up on the ladder and take a picture of all the flags that were there. It was so amazing!
It was a priceless experience for us. We love our soldiers so much, and anyone who stands up for this country. We love the United States and the freedoms that we have here. God Bless the USA.

News all around the Day household and Update
I'm trying to update our blog every week to let y'all know about what's been going on with us, but I fear that I've been failing about the every week, so I'll try to do better.
So much news from the Day's side
- Angie and Adam are PREGNANT! YAY The first grandchild on the Day side. She is done with the first trimester and she has had no morning sickness. Lucky duck. Baby is doing well:
- Jared got his mission call to Chile Osorno mission! That's the very southern part of south america. He leaved Dec 9th. He's going to go to USU for one semester before he leaves. This is him in Germany with his buddy, Brad. He'll be a great misisonary.
- Jake is engaged to Kaia Christensen! They are getting married September 5th! So happy for them both.
- Mom got a new job! She started as a reading assistant at North Park Elementary school! She is so excited and we all, as her kids, know that she will do famously.
McCord and I are proud to show you all our lovely "extremely gorgeous" couches in our apartment:
I know, how much hideousness can we shove into one room. =) Oh how wonderfully they all match each other. And how great they match the room. ha ha ha. Even the bold beautiful pillows add just the right touch.=) I'm sure almost everyone who has been married can relate to a room like ours.
McCord got a job! He is working for Sweet Chicago Pizzeria in Draper.
We are so thrilled and so blessed to finally have a job set in stone. He will deliver pizzas for them and he started today. He came home with tips and a smile on his face. We are so grateful. I am continuing to apply and call and interview. When something is secure on my end. We will let you all know. McCord started school (14 credits for him) and he is doing so well in all his classes. I haven't seen him this busy in a long long time. He's writing like crazy and impressing all of his professors.
We were able to go to the new Oquirah Mountain Temple this week. It is beautiful and we loved the spirit there. We are very happy and grateful for what we have. Until next week. (I'll try to update every week at least)
