So everyone knows how completely head-over-heels in love with my amazing husband I am. And this post is bragging about how talented he is!
He has been working at the LDS Motion Picture Studio since June and has been doing a wonderful job. He really enjoys working there and we are SO grateful that he has this job. He is an Assistant Video Editor which means that he transcodes the footage that is sent in and preps it for editing. It's not super exciting but it's been his foot in the door and he actually enjoys going to work. Apparently he has been doing something right, though, and he was actually put as Editor on a small project. He did a really good job on it and as long as everything continues to go well then he will be put as Editor on quite a few more projects which is awesome! He is so talented and does well at whatever he does. haha. Sometimes it's actually kind of frustrating because everything comes so easily to him. He is such a talented, intelligent person. He just naturally is good at everything he tries. He's better than me at just about everything except floral design and customer service! haha. But I absolutely love it and I love him so much. I am so grateful to have such an amazingly talented and intelligent husband.
And he is just wonderful. He has been working so hard and some long hours lately and he just keeps on going. I am so grateful for him and for all that he does. He is also extremely supportive. He is 100% supportive of me and all that I do and is always so encouraging. I've always struggled with self-esteem and I couldn't have found a better man to help me with that. He is always boosting me up and encouraging me when I don't think I can do things or when I am struggling. He is just really the most amazing man I've ever known and I am SO grateful that I get to spend all of eternity with him. I'm a very, very lucky and very blessed girl!

Fun stuff!
Well again, it's been much too long since I updated this thing. I really am going to try to get better at it!
So Spencer is working at the LDS Motion Picture Studio now! He is actually working today, which is great. Sad for me, because I'm home by my lonesome, but it's great because we really need the money. He is enjoying it so far and is doing well with it. He works very hard there and does a great job. Hopefully he will move up the ladder and this job will really lead to other jobs elsewhere. We have pretty much resigned ourselves to the fact that we are going to have to move to L.A. or something after we graduate so that Spencer can get the experience he needs in a big place. We won't stay in a large area for a long time, but long enough to get Spencer up the ranks so he can get a job elsewhere. We would LOVE to end up in Washington! That is our goal. We really want to live there. I just fell absolutely in love with it last summer. And Spencer already loved it there, so that's our goal. But that will be a little longer. We aren't graduating until (tentatively) December of 2014. :( Wish it would be sooner than that, but it's just not possible.
We are doing well, though. I am taking summer classes, Spencer is not. I wanted a break but if I want to graduate next year I can't really take a break yet. But I'm only taking one class, so it's not so horrible, it's just not a class that I love. At least I have a couple friends in the class which really helps! Spring term was really fun, though. Very long and hard, but it was very fun. Spencer and I took the second directing class together (we're taking all of the directing classes together, yay!) and we absolutely loved the class. We got to have our first experience directing a scene and it was wonderful. I think we both did a good job. Our second scenes we directed for the class were so much fun! Spencer directed a scene from a Dr. Who episode (we're obsessed with Dr. Who!!!!). He did a great job. I directed a scene from an original play that I wrote during winter semester. I was very pleased with how mine turned out. My actors did such a great job and it made me really excited to direct the full play this fall.
So this fall Spencer and I are doing the directing practicum class together. We will each be directing a 35 minute play of our choice (they are called Mask Clubs). Spencer is doing an original Dr. Who episode. I started writing something for him and came up with the general idea of the one-act, we just need to sit down and get out a full first draft so we can go from there. I am directing my original one-act that I wrote during Winter Semester. It is about a newlywed couple (like, within 24 hours newlywed) that comes home to their apartment on their wedding night and it's just a fun romantic comedy. I will be re-writing and editing it for the rest of the summer so it is ready for this fall. I might put the script on here for people to give me feedback on. (If anyone reads this, of course!) haha.
During spring term Spencer and I worked on the BYU production of A Wrinkle in Time. It was very long and very hard work, but it was so rewarding. We had a great time doing it. I was an Assistant Stage Manager for it and just loved it. Again, it was hard and frustrating at times, but really what show isn't? haha. I have been astounded at my quick love for stage management. I really enjoy it. I just finished Assistant Stage Managing at The Echo Theatre in Provo. They did Steel Magnolias-such a wonderful play! That again was rough and frustrating at times, but very rewarding. I absolutely loved the cast and director and Stage Manager. They were all wonderful and it was a fun show. But I am very glad that it is over as well. I had a VERY busy few months with everything that I took on.
Fall semester I am also stage managing one of the other mask clubs that is going up. I started doing work for it this spring and will be hitting it hard this fall. So this fall is going to be very busy! But it will be super fun. I am just so grateful that Spencer and I will be in a few classes together. It's really fun being in the same major because we do a lot of the same things. And if you know Spencer and me very well, you know that we do EVERYTHING together. We are super close--he's my best friend and husband! So we enjoy doing all of these projects and classes together. I couldn't be happier :)
We had our third anniversary on July 2nd. I can't believe we have been married for three years! What a wonderful three years it has been! I am excite for many more :) We are super happy and loving life. So there ya go!

Little Updates
I have been horrible at writing on my blog lately, I really need to get better at that! Anywho. So I am back in school now and actually really enjoying it. Most of my classes are theatre classes so it is great. I get to be creative and have lots of fun, so I typically don't really dread going to class which is awesome!
Spencer is working hard in school and doing well too. We are just waiting to see if/when he will start work at the LDS Motion Picture Studio. He really wants the job and would be extremely good at it. He would be hired as a student video editor which he is SUPER talented with. Hopefully he gets hired soon. It would be an amazing opportunity for him. It really would be his foot in the door into the film industry. So hope and pray that he gets to start that soon!
If you know me well you know that I tend to have more health problems than the average person. Well trying not to go into too much detail, I have always had menstrual problems. I have always been super irregular and it is very annoying and frustrating... and unhealthy. But I am finally on health insurance again so we decided I really needed to get in and figure out what is wrong with my body. I went in last Monday and they drew five vials of blood. Yippee! I absolutely HATE needles so you can imagine how much I just loved that. Anyway. I went back in yesterday to find out the results. Everything looked good except for my prolactin levels. Apparently I have higher than normal prolactin levels which can cause menstrual problems. The doctor prescribed some medicine that is supposed to lower prolactin levels, so I am taking that now. In a month if it regulates my period then she will call in and renew my subscription and I will go back in for testing again in about 6 months or so. If it has not regulated my period then she will up my dose and see how it goes from there. I am still researching and figuring out exactly what having a high prolactin level means, but it doesn't seem like it's that big of deal, at least at the moment. Prolactin is created by the pituitary gland and is supposed to be high for new nursing mothers. It is the hormone that causes a woman to produce milk after she has a baby. So when you are not a nursing mother it is a problem if you have high prolactin levels. Anyway, the medicine they put me on is bromocriptine. There are some adverse side effects that are supposed to go away after awhile (if you suffer from any of them). I have only taken one pill, so I don't think I will really know if I will have any of the side effects or not. But on of them is headaches and I have had a killer headache today. However, I have headaches a LOT, so I don't know if it's a side effect or just the usual for me.
We are loving life and still loving married life :) Spencer is so good to me and we have so much fun together. I marvel every day that he stuck by me and won me over. I couldn't have imagined being married to a better guy. He can always make me laugh and is so loving. I am so grateful I have such a wonderful marriage with such a wonderful man. I love him so much and count my blessings for him every day!
We are very excited to be going to Reno this weekend. We both need a break from Utah and decided Reno would be great for us. So we are going with our friends Brian and Julia and we are going to stay with our friends Steve and Preston in Reno. But Spencer and I wanted a night away together, so we got a hotel at the Circus Circus hotel in Reno for a night and I am very excited. I am so excited to get away for a weekend, especially this weekend! Valentine's Day isn't as crazy this year because I am working somewhere new and they are awesome with the big holidays. Yay! But it is still busier than usual so I am looking forward to a break. And I get to spend four days straight with my favorite person in the world, who wouldn't be excited that?!
Well there ya go! A couple updates (if you care) from the young Johnson couple. We are happy and hope you are too!
