Life in a nutshell

Wow, it has been awhile since I last posted! I guess life has been busy...but a good busy. Not the busy that we used to be...it's more of the selective busy, where I am in control of how busy we get...make sense?
Well, all has been well here at the Smith household. We have finished school this year(actually we finished early May-so we've been enjoying an early summer break)
Abby is siked about being a 1st grader! And I can't believe that she is already! She did amazing in Kindergarten & is reading like a maniac! I love to hear her reading to her little sis. It's so sweet.
Isabelle is excited that I'm going to "teach" her next year(not officially-but our own stuff)and she can't wait to learn how to read like her big sis!
She is still making me laugh constantly & is now creating her own language...abooga wega, morta, woooo...ya know...stuff like that...it's actually funny because when she gets to speaking this crazy Jawa language Abby cracks up hysterically & uncontrollably...then Isa just keeps it going...

David is crazy busy with work! Praise God, even during the "slow season" God has provided lots of work!
I've been getting the homeschool room ready for next year & working on launching my business in the next couple of weeks. And I'm also considering teaching a group of homeschoolers in a acting class this fall, for some extra fun money. So, things are picking up- but it is things on our "to do" list...or should I call it "it's about time" list?

We are still working out like maniacs(more than ever in my entire life)and David has lost 22 lbs!!!!!! I refuse to get on the scale until we are finished with this program but my clothes are FINALLY fitting again!
So, that's us in a nutshell, I'll post more later about what God is doing in our lives...mostly just teaching us to be patient more, rely on Him more, and to finally put some action to our faith(and stop JUST talking about it)

What a blast we had last night at the midnight showing of Spiderman 3! The theater filled up at 10:00(2 hours before the show)and people were dressed in spidey gear & even some in costume! Our good friends Mike & Keri braved the late show with us & supported my crazy idea to see it before everyone else at 12AM!!!!!!
The movie is intense, funny, romantic, scarey & just plain awesome!!!! Sam Raimi outdid himself in this movie! I would even consider it part of my favorite movies list! We are going with about 6 other friends tonight & a cast member that I met on set! I can't wait to see it again & find things that I did not see or pick up on during my first viewing.
Well, about 35-40 minutes into the show you'll see the Cleveland shots that we took! It was amazing to watch the whole thing unfold since I was actually part of making it! Not even a glimpse of me was shown, but I have no regrets! To be part of something so incredible was worth every minute of the 2 weeks that I was filming it-thru the cold Cleveland air, to getting sick & losing my voice during the filming & standing around waiting & waiting & waiting for our cues....it was worth it all!!!!!
I'm looking forward to some auditions coming up this month for a few indie films(not Spiderman)but anything for the love of the art!
Enjoy the show!
