By the way, making trailers is a lot of fun. I hope you enjoy it-

Updates
Not much has been going on in the Mangum home. Here's the basic run-down:
We had another check-up at the doctor: we will find out if we're having a boy or girl on November 30. I can't wait to find out. Sam is excited, but it's not that big of a deal to him. I am just dying to know. I think that is a good representation of our personalities. Like the ice cream test showed, Sam is pretty chill, and I am fairly excitable.
Sam was asked to direct a friend's senior film project, and he accepted. They will get planning the film and will shoot sometime in March. Sam is pretty excited. It's a good thing he only has a few classes next semester, otherwise he would have no time to direct yet another project. We're pretty excited because it seems that Sam has quite the positive reputation in the film program.
We are getting quite excited to move to Virginia in the summer. We like to look at apartment rental websites and take virtual tours of apartments in the areas where we might live. We're especially excited to live a little closer to two of Sam's brothers. I am thinking of going back to school in the next few years to get my Master's Degree, and in the meantime, I want to get my teaching certification. I'm not sure how soon I will do that, but I think I may want to within the year of our moving to Virginia.
We are definitely excited for daylight savings next week: one more hour of sleep (although I will admit I'm sad about the days being shorter). But anything that let's me sleep a little longer makes me happy.

Ice Cream Personalities
From Jenny and Marcus
Courtney:
You are passionate, creative, and inspired. Black raspberry ice cream is an unusual color and flavor, so some people might consider it strange, but your exciting personality is what makes you so delicious. You bring a juicy burst of flavor to everything you do, and your life is packed with one memorable experience after another.
Sam:
You're as popular and relaxing as vanilla ice cream. You go with the flow, and get along with all sorts of people. You appreciate peace and simplicity, so you sometimes find crowds and loud noises overwhelming. You are a chilled-out, calming influence on the people in your life, and your friends appreciate how supportive and flexible you are.

Wearing-In the New Car
Today we had quite the surprise. We woke up late and were rushing to get Sam out the door. I was driving him to a study group for his film theory class. As we were putting on our shoes, we both checked the messages on our phones. We both had a message from our upstairs neighbor: the sun roof on our car was open and it was pouring rain.
We grabbed some towels and went out to assess the damage. Our neighbors had covered our car in a tarp, which did save our car from another two cups or so of rain, but the inside was soaked. We draped our seats in towels and dried what we could.
I think it's kind of funny. And, yesterday, I was eating cereal in the car (because we were in a rush to get to the dentist for Sam's crown) and spilled milk all over the passenger seat. So at least the milk got washed away!

I Wish We All Could Be California Girls
Well, we finally got our new car! On Thursday night, Sam and I went in to the dealer and traded in our car for a 2005 Saturn ION. We are loving it so far! There a few awesome features which we are enjoying, since our old car didn't have them: four doors, power locks, power windows, working heater, low miles, efficient windshield wipers.
It has been raining like crazy in Utah, and I am enjoying it. It keeps threatening snow, which I would not be excited about, but we'll see. It's not that I don't like snow, but when it snows this early, that means we have to settle in for the long haul of gray skies, and that is what I don't enjoy.
Sam is in L.A. this weekend. The Food Boy short is up for an award at the KidsFirst! film festival and they are going to let them show a trailer for The Adventures of Food Boy. I've talked to Sam a couple times, and he is having a blast during his first time in SoCal. I hope he's enjoying it so that he'll warm up to the idea of living there some day.
Things are going well for me. I started a new job two weeks ago, and it's going well. I feel pretty good except some nausea at night and some serious fatigue. I think the worst pregnancy side effect is that I don't have an appetite. I'm always starving, but nothing sounds good. It's really difficult to eat healthy foods when all that sounds good is ice cream. I am working hard to make sure I eat regularly. I have pretty bad hypoglycemia, so I need to be careful that it doesn't morph into gestational diabetes. Other than that, Sam and I are just getting really excited! We can't wait until we can start buying stuff for the baby, once we know if it's a boy or girl. And, other than Food Boy, it's pretty much all we talk about. We can't wait!

Poem
At the end of the summer, we sent this poem around to our families to update them on our life here in Provo. We thought we'd share it with you.
If you guessed C) Baby makes three, you would be right. Sam and I are expecting our first child to arrive in the spring, and we are very excited.
Around here this summer
It's been quite chaotic.
Though last year we
Went on trips quite exotic,
This summer we've spent
Completely at home--
Though Courtney wishes
We had gone to Rome.
We've had fun with movies
And finishing college.
There are many things
On which we've increased knowledge.
So now we prepare for
Sam's last college spree,
And then will come April
When . . .
a) We tour Italy.
b) We play monopoly.
c) Baby makes three.
d) Sam gets a Wii.
If you guessed C) Baby makes three, you would be right. Sam and I are expecting our first child to arrive in the spring, and we are very excited.

Teddy
This is Sam, and my first time writing on this blog. As you may have heard I worked on a feature film this summer but I don't want that to be overshadowed by my first actual film making experience. Due to technological restraints I haven't been able to share this will many people. But thanks to youtube, my current distributor and Allen's camera shop, my transfer house, I am able to share this with the masses.
A little back ground information- This was filmed with a super 8mm film camera, like the opening credits for the wonder years, or home movies before video cameras. In order to edit it, I cut the film and taped it together, definitely old school. It stars the wonderful Whitney Anne, Courntey's sister opposite the bear, Pierpont. enjoy.
