Things have changed a ton so just wanted to give a quick update. So read if you would like or don't. I'm just putting it out there :).
As some of you may know July 2012, two weeks before my wedding, my husband and some of our friends were at Century 16 in Aurora the night of the Batman The Dark Knight Rises shooting. I won't get into details here but by sheer luck we were in the adjacent theater and not in the actual theater the shooting took place. People were injured in our theater but we all made it out unscathed. My husband and I made it a point to go see the movie the next weekend. We didn't want to ever be afraid to go to the movies. Although, I would be lying if I said it didn't change things. Going to the movies will never be the same. I will alway notice if there is a person sitting by themselves (But don't feel bad if you are going to the movies alone is awesome!), I look if some gets up to go the restroom, I'll think about what happened that night ever time I'm waiting for a movie to start, and the saddest part is I will never be truly be able to lose my self to the screen. So although that experience never stopped my from going the movies it changed the experience and made it a little harder to have my usual attitude.
Isaac and I got married two weeks later and were just in love honeymooning, moving into his place, and just starting a life together. This directly result in me not blogging but I'm happy it happened. :)
From August 2012 to May 2013 Isaac and I were both finishing our degrees in Film Production at Regis University. This was a dramatic and crazy busy year where I produced two shorts, had a full schedule of classes, worked two jobs, and was trying to be a newly wed. I was freaking busy, I barely slept, got over stressed, but found it all very rewarding.
Family time happened! Not going to lie pregnancy would have been a freaking great time to blog. I even started several posts but never finished or posted them. I was just in family mode. Plus I would always miss a little bit of a movie running to go pee. I did really have so much time to go see movies and write though. Especially compared to now because I have an almost one year old and getting out is a bit more difficult, but I love him and he is perfect.
Why I stopped?
Just life: In the form of these happenings:

After School...
 |
| We did go on a cruise too! |
So after all that craziness I graduated and everything just kinda stopped. I took some time to just work my restaurant job and relax. Then I kinda lost momentum. All of film school kinda burnt me out and I was sick of dealing with the crazy array of filmmakers and actors all the time. I did work on a few projects here and there, but just have fun being young and married and all that jazz. Not going to lie it was nice not be constantly selling myself, or my movie, or my friends movie, or trying to prove I was something. So yeah that happened.
Pregnancy and Baby!
Family time happened! Not going to lie pregnancy would have been a freaking great time to blog. I even started several posts but never finished or posted them. I was just in family mode. Plus I would always miss a little bit of a movie running to go pee. I did really have so much time to go see movies and write though. Especially compared to now because I have an almost one year old and getting out is a bit more difficult, but I love him and he is perfect.
So that's where I have been. You probably do not care and I am sorry if you just read all that but meh.
