Show Me Embarassment

By
Well, maybe it makes me feel better that I can save others from the NC car laws. I don't know if that's a good thing or not ;)

I was going through my Kodak videos/pics and noticed how forgotten I had let some memories get. I have SO many clips on there. I've decided to post some. I am tempted to post the one of Mr Smith playing video games because his gamer face cracks me up, but I know it will be war after that. However, I am posting TWO of me that I think are ridiculous to counterbalance. It's funny watching yourself on film; it catches things you, unfortunately, don't get to see. I lick my lips a lot!

One of the MANY videos I made on my boring 3 day trip from Provo, UT to Surfside Beach, SC in the summer of 2010. I wanted to mess around with iMovie to see what that's all about. For some reason this .mov file wouldn't upload to iMovie. I used a free trial, which is why the company logo is shown there at the top.



This was also the video that brought me to meeting Mr Smith for the first time, oddly enough. You may remember that part of our story. I was dropping this video off for the other backup dancers the same night Mr Smith was picking up boxes to take back to UT for these same girls. We swapped names and the rest was history. I'll never be a backup singer again though. Don't cry. I don't even think Mr Smith has seen this.



Now here is a video of Mr Smith that he will hate me for. My favorite part (which is what I was previously getting footage of) is right when the camera zooms in.


Just for the record: We just purchased a Wii and Eric has hardly/hardly does play.
But this cracks me up every time.

And so it begins, again

At what point do you ... 1. Keep holding on waiting for inspiration to come 2. Try something different 3. Let go & walk away I'd say most of us are usually somewhere in between #1 & #2, but there are occasional moments where I find myself locked into another Jane Austin film with some oreos & milk ignoring reality all together.  Today, I'm trying to rise above some level of complacency & clear my mind at your expense. Mr Smith & I had a good run of it, but since blogs became obsolete in 2017 while Instragram chained us all to algorithms, I had no audience nor desire to write in this world. But times change, after it murders our souls, and alas we are famished for an authentic keyboard with less distractions again. So, let's catch up. They say it comes in threes... Since our job change in 2017, we experienced three more moves, three additional job changes (that don't necessarily align with the moves), and three additional children.  2018-2022 were ver...

Breaking Silence for Religion

I've never been good at being concise. I like words too much. I think outloud. And I haven't had time to blog all these conversations & posts & mental thoughts and it's eating at me to write it all down, to get it out there. These are some words that no one understands anymore: love, tolerance, faith, forgiveness, covenants, judgment, respect, moderation, self-worth, humility, equality...at least if they say they do, I wouldn't believe them. In truth, I think we should be forever understanding what these words mean. Yet I hear people affirming over & over again in their actions & with their voice that they want to be right and they want you to know it & accept the choices they're making. So much for democracy & freedom. They might say "to each his own" but I'm not idealistic anymore, people don't really believe that.  I reference "the world" a lot. Let's clarify what I mean. We can start with Holly...

Will We Seek Jesus?

By
God expects us to hold happiness and sorrow at the same time. It’s a beautiful contrary that many of us struggle to understand, but it’s really key to understanding our purpose on earth. We can easily find ourselves in a battle of emotions if we can’t accept that both can exist at the same time; we will falsely accuse ourselves or others as either ungrateful & weak, or overly strong & fake. Perhaps a lot of it is how we speak to the struggle.  Our main purpose is to experience heartache & frustration (one side of the coin), but to overcome it through the power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, which provides everlasting joy (the other side of the coin). In order to really value the Atonement of Jesus Christ, many of us are humbled by the feeling of hopelessness. We will all experience some level of loss & acute awareness of our own weaknesses, usually when things start to feel out of our control. But what does holding both sorrow & joy look like? That is a quest...
