To sum up the past 7 months...

Well blog followers. I know you thought my blog died but you were oh so wrong. The past months have been quite crazy and quite eventful all at once. So I will try my best to sum them up for you...even though I'm sure all of my readers already know most of this.

This past semester was probably my busiest semester at BYU so far. I worked 20 hours a week and I worked on a documentary for about 10 hours a week plus I was taking seven classes. So my load was far from light. But I am pleased to say that I lived through it and my grades weren't too shabby either. This next semester will be my last semester at BYU as I am graduating in April (in 112 days to be exact) (but whose counting). I hope and pray that this upcoming semester won't be as crazy as the last one but I have a feeling my hands will be quite full again. But hey, that's the fun of college I guess! I might as well enjoy it while it lasts. But despite being so busy and stressed I managed to have a pretty good semester, life is happy and things are looking up.

To move on to a more exciting topic, I'm engaged!!! On December 18 my significant other asked me to be his wife. I said yes (hence the engagement) and we are both so excited to start our life together. So on top of my crazy semester coming up I also will be planning a wedding, ahh! But I'm excited, it'll be fun. We were planning to get married on April 30th in the Nauvoo temple but today I found out that the temple will be closed that weekend! So we might be pushing it back a week, we'll see and I'll keep you posted! Here are a few pictures from the night that Bryan proposed.

So basically the moral of my post is that life is busy yet happy. Hopefully I'll find some time during this next semester to update a little more often...but we'll see :) To reward you for reading through my boring blog post I have added one of the short documentaries that I made in class this semester. For this project we had to film a process so I chose to film Sarah giving Seth a bath. I think it turned out pretty cute but I'm sure that has a lot more to do with seth than me. enjoy!

Spring has Sprung...a month ago

             Hello Friends. My bad for being the worst blogger in the world. I honestly thought that my life would clear up once spring came along but apparently the joke was on me because my life just got crazier! But I'm loving everything that I'm doing right now so despite being busy, I am very very happy. Well let me give you a quick rundown on my life:

            I am taking one class this spring semester, "History of Cinema part 1". I have really enjoyed the class, there's only 11 of us so its pretty hilarious at times, but it has also been a pain. They should have just named the class "Don't even think about having a life while you take this because every spare second will be spent doing homework", but for some reason they went for the generic approach. My final is on Thursday so after that I will finally be a free woman! We watched a lot of super good movies in the class and I would love to inform you about how amazing they were, but i'm pretty sure no one cares about the silent period like I do so i'll spare you. I will say that I'm obsessed with a trilogy that we watched. They are three French films titled "Marius", "Fanny", and "Cesar". They were made in the 30s (so they have sound) and they are so beautiful. If you can get your hands on them I highly recommend them

               Moving on. A major plus in my life right now is the fact that my resume is currently growing in size. I work as an editor at BYU Broadcasting and I'm currently an assistant editor on a show for PBS. I am also making spots and whatnot for KBYU and BYUTV. I'm learning new programs and (hopefully) i'm gaining a talent for editing. I love my job so much, it is such a joy in my life right now. I feel so blessed to have it. I'm also an editor on a student documentary right now called "Love Marriage". Its about an Indian couple who took 20 years to get married because they wanted a love marriage instead of an arranged marriage. Its truly an inspiring story and i'm so happy to be working on it. 

              Surprisingly among my busy schedule I do manage to find some time for fun. A few weeks ago I took seth to the duck pond on a sunday afternoon and we had so much fun! Unfortunately the ducks weren't biting but Seth didn't seem to mind a bit, he wanted all the bread for himself! haha. such a cutie. I'm so glad to have him as a friend. For your enjoyment, here are some pictures of Seth at the duck pond: 

(trying to talk on my phone)

(hoarding the bread for himself)

(eventually he caught on that the bread was for the ducks and he started throwing it at them, so cute!)

         A high point of my past spring semester was my surprise visit home for mothers day. I decided that i really wanted to hang out with my Mom because we are like best friends, so for mothers day i flew home and surprised her for her present! It was so much fun, we had such a fun weekend together. We went to movies and got our nails done, and we even spent some time at the liquor store! haha. We decided to make Banana's Foster for mothers day dessert so we ventured over to the local liquor store. It was so funny, we tried to act natural, like we knew what we were talking about, but i'm pretty sure that we stuck out like a soar thumb (whatever that phrase is supposed to mean). Like for example, when we took this picture in the isle with our booze, pretty sure people thought we were crazy. 

            It was super fun and I was sad to come back to my crazy life in Utah, but we gotta do what we gotta do. 

           So there you have it, Sorry this post was so long but its been awhile, i need to keep my small amount of followers informed. haha. If you got through all of this then props to you, go buy yourself some ice cream. Hopefully you'll here from me again soon! 

P.S. I have recently been introduced to and have become obsessed with Arrested Development. Funniest show ever. Seriously. Watch it. You wont be sorry. 

The End

My life = hilarious

       Well as you may, or may not have noticed it has been awhile since I've updated this thing. It's called going to college. My life is crazy and stressful but it is happy and wonderful at the same time. And my life is about to get even more stressful as I head into finals. But don't worry, I will be on top of this whole blogging thing once the summer comes...and once Sarah teaches me how to actually put pictures on this thing!! haha. 

       So hilarious story that will make up for all the posts that I have not made. So last night I went to a wrap party for a Film that my friend Joel is in. So we are chilling at the party and in walks this older dude who looks really familiar to me. I turn to Joel and I'm like, "Joel, who is this guy, does he look familiar to you?" He didn't know so we went and talked to him for awhile. He is an actor in LA and we were talking about projects that he has worked on and such. Anyway, the night goes on and finally it clicks, He is Troy's dad in High School Musical. Which is hilarious, but the story gets any better. So I turn to Joel and I'm like, dude he is in High School Musical. So Joel grabs a napkin, runs to the door and catches the guy right before he leaves and has him sign this napkin for me. On the napkin he wrote "Chelsea, Keep your head in the game" bahahaha. so hilarious. sometimes I love my life. So I present you with the infamous napkin: 

And don't worry, I totally shook his hand. Which means that I have practically touched Zach Efron. It's cool if you are jealous of me. I totally understand. So there you have it. Hope you enjoyed the story. and I hope you enjoyed it enough to carry you through my finals because I don't know when I'll have time to post again.

AAAAnd I promised to put good movies on here that I have seen in my classes. To go along with the theme of my post (hilarity) I give you "Fishing with John". A documentary mini series about these guys who go fishing all over the world except for they don't really know how to fish, which makes it hilarious. Seriously, check it out:

And I just found out that you can watch all of the episodes on youtube, which is wonderful. I advise you to watch.

The End! 

Seth, Cupcakes and Movies

Ok well there were some exciting events in my week and i will tell you about them! 

On thursday I had the privilege of hanging out with Seth while Sarah took a test. We pretty much had a blast together, as usual.

 Well, because I am alone all the time I've decided that I need a little fun job to keep my busy. So because I love cupcakes so much I have collected numerous cupcake recipes and I am going to start experimenting with them. This Saturday marked the beginning of my experimental phase. Cupcake of choice: Apple Cinnamon. I was a little nervous about them because I didn't want them to turn out like muffins...or just be gross. But I was pleasantly surprised with the turn out. They were very tasty! I am very excited for my future cupcake experiments...I think there are a few other people who are excited as well, I need taste testers!

So I realize that no one reads my blog, one day i hope to have a huge following, but right now my viewership consists of Sarah and Nick...if that. So I was contemplating what it is i should blog about (i'm not married and i have no children) and I realized that I am a film major, so I watch a lot of films every week. I thought that I could mention the good ones that I see and talk about movies! it's what I do. This week we watched a way good Indian film. It made me cry, so good! It was titled "Pather Panchali". I must admit that my hopes were shattered when I realized that we would not be watching a Bollywood movie (a treat that i have yet to enjoy) but I was very happy with the film that we did watch. It was filmed in 1955 and is about an Indian family struggling with the issue of holding on to their traditional Indian heritage or changing with the times for their families welfare. I suggest it to watch...but I do realize that my taste in movies is probably not the norm for my blog followers.

One week later...

It has been a week so I figured that its about time to make my second post. This past week was a happy week, as are most of my weeks. The highlight of my week happened on Friday night. Sarah and I saw this

<<<<

but imagine that girl plus 50 pounds and you've got the show that we saw. At first we were upset with the directors choice to cast such a large leading lady, but we soon turned our frowns upside down, not because she was good, but because we could laugh about it. So despite this little set back we still managed to have a wonderful time. 

Last night I went to the John Schmidt concert. For those of you who don't know who that is he plays the piano and he's amazing at it. He can also play the piano with his head, with is feet, backwards, upside down and while dancing. He was pretty amazing. And Now I get to go have a wild Super Bowl party hosted by my Grandpa. It's gonna be off the hook. So those were my week highlights, hope you enjoyed them! 

Hello Blogging World

Welp, despite my complete lack of time I have decided to create a blog. It just goes to show the power of boredom.
