Happy Two-Year Anniversary (on Sunday)!

Since Sam and I will be spending the long weekend in Salt Lake for our anniversary, I thought I would do a little post today to celebrate. We were married two years ago on Sunday, on September 2, 2005. The past two years have been so fun! We love being married. Sam is doing a wedding video tomorrow for my sister-in-law's brother, so it will be fun to go to the Salt Lake Temple on our weekday anniversary (we were married the Friday before labor day).
In some ways it feels like I have known Sam forever-- that it's been longer than two years. But in other ways, the two years have flown by.

Here we are at our reception.



And this is us on our honeymoon.

Graduated, unemployed, and bored

Those three things all describe me. Today is the second day that I have not had anything to do, and I am already feeling bored! Graduation was on Thursday and Friday, and it was really great. Sam was so supportive throughout my schooling, so it was great to have him there. We had a nice time at graduation and Sam took quite a few pictures. Here are some good ones:



So now that I am officially a college graduate, I am just looking for a job. I never realized how stressful it can be! Sam is gearing up for his last year of school, which starts two weeks from today. I can't believe how quickly the summer goes! We are going up to IKEA today and then out to dinner with my parents at Benihana. My mom was out of town for graduation, so we haven't gotten to celebrate yet. Sam and I are still thinking of something fun we can do for our second anniversary which is in just less than two weeks. Other than that, Sam is just busy editing Food Boy. I think he's in denial about school starting (he's a little jealous of his college-grad wife). We hope you are all enjoying the last few weeks of summer!

What do we do with our time now that Food Boy is over?

Well, filming for Food Boy is finally finished! The picture wrapped last Monday, and it has been a huge relief. With all the filming done, now all we have to worry about is post-production-- not like it's a small task or anything. Sam has been getting ready to start editing, which will be a huge task. He hopes to finish by the end of October (I think) and then send it out to festivals. We are really pleased with the filming and are so excited to see the story start coming together. This is a really exciting project.

Now, this week, I am starting my final week of college. I have my final day of class tomorrow, and graduation is on Thursday and Friday. I've already informed Sam that when I finish with my finals on Wednesday night, I will probably cry a lot. This has been a really emotional term for me. I am feeling rather bittersweet about graduating: on the one (sweet) side, my senior course this term has been absolutely horrible. I am also excited to not write any more papers and to not have homework. Things will also feel more comfortable when I have a full time job. On the other (bitter) side, I think I will really miss college. I will miss being around students and talking about theories and ideas and grammar. :) I really enjoy the people I work with, so it will be a big change to move on from that. I am not so sure I am ready to be an adult. Overall, I think it is a great thing I am graduating. This is a huge step for me! I am sure whatever lies ahead will be very exciting. I still don't have a job lined up-- I am just focusing on getting through these last classes. I'm sure I will figure something out quickly once graduation is over.

So that's what we're up to! Sam has just another three weeks until he starts his final school year-- which also means we have about three weeks until our second wedding anniversary. Anyway, things are good in the Mangum house! We are really enjoying our summer and will be sad when it's over.
