Justin got to work with one of his friends, Matt who seems to know everyone in broadcasting here at school, and outside of it. Since BYU-Idaho does not have a college football team, they have inter mural type/competitive sports teams where students play each other. This year, they decided to have a football draft like the NFL, so Justin and Matt got to do some web-casting stuff of the draft. They did a lot of picture editing, so that when a player was called up to the team, they were able to post his picture during the webcast, as well as incorporating music into the draft. Apparently, things went really well and he had a lot of fun doing it. Here's a video that shows just a tad bit about the draft, and the football league. And if you're lucky... you'll notice Justin is in random parts of the video (in the middle-He says. But he's definitely at the end rolling up cords).

I missed all of it, but got to do something that was definitely something that will help out with my resume! I got to work with Quartetto Gelato, a group with an interesting mix of instruments, that were pretty entertaining... if you're into that sort of thing. I got to run around doing errands for them before the show, which included buying dinner, and snacks for the performers. Apparently, there are certain needs that every performer requests listed in their contracts. It was a fun experience, one that taught you to think fast on your feet in order to solve a problem, and be prepared for anything!
The group I worked with:
We both love BYU-Idaho. It's a great school that provides so many opportunities for students to get involved and offers many ways for students to gain experience. I love that in order to graduate we have to have an internship, although when the time comes, I might hate having to look for one. However, it'll be helpful towards our careers!
In baby news! JD is starting to kick! :) He started doing it about a couple weeks ago, and at first I wasn't sure whether or not it was him kicking, or *ahem... something else going on in my stomach. But, it's official, the baby is kicking! I am now 21 weeks, and I can't believe I'm over halfway now... I'll definitely have to add a picture soon to show my progress of how big he's starting to get! People are beginning to tell that I'm pregnant, and have even asked how far along I am... one of these days, before you're able to tell that I'm totally pregnant, I'll have to respond, "What baby?!" I guess I'm just waiting for the right moment! :)
