Red Pears.

My mother has painted some really pretty red pears. I've loved every single one she's done (though there may only be 3 or 4). I also really like to eat red pears because they are yummy. Some of my mom's art can be viewed at maryannfreesmith.com

From the time Jeremy and I first started dating, he has given me a single red pear in a brown paper bag as a surprise several times. I think it's the equivalent to giving me a pretty little bouquet of flowers, the difference is that I can eat them. When I met up with Jeremy to go home this evening, he had a bag of THREE red pears for me in the passenger seat and I almost sat on them and smooshed them.

Jeremy is so cute.

Catey and Jeremy's new movie. It's just a movie everyone, calm down.

And, school started. Jeremy's last first week of school is almost over, at least until he goes to graduate school.

We win!

Ghost Couple won first place in the "It's only a movie" short film festival.It was fun to watch the movies people submitted. Joseph Winter is the founder of the contest and he did a good job putting this together and directing his 3D movie project, "Abandoned in Space." The trailer for Joseph's movie was shown in 3D at the festival and it was really cool to see that it really worked, it looked really good!
Also, we received some pictures of us at the temple from my sister Charlotte. She is a very good photographer and her pricing is quite inexpensive. Here are some of my favorite pictures she took of us:

Happy Halloween!

We made a short for a Halloween film festival our friend is putting on. You can watch in HD on vimeo. Catey is pretty.

art city

Jeremy and I had been married for two months when our landlord's son came and told us that we couldn't live there anymore because of a reverse mortgage deal his parents are doing which means that there cannot be any renters or source of income or something like that--well at least that's the impression we got. So we moved down to Springville. We live in a little studio apartment that is really small but it's nice and bright and inexpensive and we both like the town even though it's kinda farther away from stuff and people.
Our house is a mess right now but please come visit us soon when it looks nice. I hope we can get it put together in time to have some small inexpensive Halloween decor.
Next time you see Jeremy, tell him to post something on this blog because we all love what he writes. Also, next time you see Charlotte Smith Beck and she isn't doing anything photography related, tell her you want to see some of our wedding pictures on the internet on our blog.

It's been over a month now

Jeremy and I have been married now for 41 days. I really enjoy being married. It is way better (better, better...) than not being married. July 31 was a really hot day. When we were outside the temple, we were getting so sweaty and impatient so we didn't get very many pictures so Charlotte said she could take more on Saturday. That will be my third time to wear my dress. I'm so lucky.
As many of you know my dad had a tumor in his bile ducts in his liver. It was really big and nothing my parents tried would work. My dad participated as much as he possible could. He came to all of the events except for our luncheon and open house the following week in Idaho. I'm really glad he could make it to those things.
My dad tried to hold on for a long time. On his birthday, September 1, we all went over to my parents house to have peaches and ice cream. I went to talk to my dad. I asked him how his birthday had been going and all he said was, "bad doctor," and he repeated it about 5 times before he could say anything else. I thought it was just his medication making him goofy, but when I found out that it wasn't, it was the first time I realized that he was not going to get better. He had so many toxins in his blood that it was affecting his brain and functions in a major way. That night he went to the hospital and he was there till the afternoon the next day. We took him home under hospice care expecting that he'd be with us for a few more days. I wanted to play my flute for him one more time because he encouraged it so often but someone convinced me that it would be too loud for him so I sang with some of my family. He died the next day.
Even though he was almost always late, he was a very charitable, personable, and righteous person. I'm proud and blessed to have been his daughter and I hope can learn his best traits like the three above.

Jeremy's picture

He says I do not like it but I really do. He even made a 3D version of it that was pretty cool. Today we are trying to finish addressing envelopes so we can send the announcements. I should go because there are a lot of them.
