Fall Semester Plans

I've realized that not many people in the family have been told of our fall plans. We were originally going to apply McCord into the University of Utah film program, but after doing his evaluation, he would have missed the GPA requirements by around 0.4. =( Sad, we know. On top of that, we were working so hard last winter semester to get him through the math class, and we were not told that it was Math 1050 that he needed to get his Associates with Utah State. So, yes, we have to, yet again, go through another Math class for him to finish up that degree with Utah State.

Plans never turn out the way you think they will. This is a life lesson that we've learned to accept. So, this semester (fall), we are going to continue at SLCC with some film classes and the Math 1050 class. Then we will transfer the Math 1050 class over to USU and get his diploma for the Associates. We will also work hard to raise the GPA up higher so he can either 1) get into the U, or 2) go through to a Bachelors in General Education through SLCC.

We love the little community that we live in and the ward is great. We are happy in Salt Lake and McCord has had so many great job opportunities here. We are so blessed.

McCord's Joseph Smith Movie shoot wrapped last week and was successful, from what I understand. They may do a few more days of shooting in September, but we'll see. We are now excited for the future. McCord is going to be on a movie set that has a budget of 5-10 million dollar budget and we are hoping that he gets pulled on as the Associate Producer. This would be so ideal for us. And then, in the last week of August, he'll be the first AD on a new web television series. A small project, but he's excited to do that also. We have a big month of August ahead of us, full of work. The end of July, we are just going to enjoy the sun, friends and family, and each other. It's been much needed.
