Tonight I directed video at Lakewood for the "Veggie Tales Spectacular". There were over 8,000 people that attended. We ran four cameras, powerpoint and video playbacks. Thank fully I had a powerpoint person and a video playback person. I really do love doing live events. It's crazy how you're sitting there preparing they just start! Before you know it you're flying through the program. I also met Mike Nawroki, the founder of "Big Idea". Big Idea is the name of the company that created the Veggie Tales videos. I talked with Mike for a while during a video and came to find out he's a great guy. I've watched Veggie Tales since I was a kid and I love 'em :). Overall the night was a huge success. Everything went really smoothly and Jon told me I did "A great job". I'm going to go look at the last apartment complex tomorrow. I visitied one on Thursday and was pretty happy with the apartment itself, but not with the area. If the others ones are in a better area I'll pay the extra money to go there. After that I'm going to figure out the honeymoon and finalize details with my best man and other groomsmen. I just can't wait to be with Danielle. As I was laying in bed the other night thinking I realized that I'm ready to be married to her. It's not like I wasn't ready before, I just mean that I know that I know it's right and the she's right. I know that whatever we go through she'll be by my side.

I lived in Los Angeles for a total for two years. Nothing ever happened to me or any of my stuff. Monday at 12:30 am we (the Berks and I) pulled up to the house to see my car being broken in to. They didn't get anything of mine but they did get a laptop that belonged to the church. I put it in the car so I wouldn't forget it the next morning. They didn't break into the car for the laptop in the first place, they were going for the stereo. Thankfully we go their license plate #. I haven't heard anything so far about the investigation but hopefully I'll know soon. The wedding is in on month and eight days. I have to figure out honeymoon stuff asap. I hope I can find something nice for Danielle and I. I just want to be with her. I was asked to direct the big Veggie Tales night coming up at the church. I'll be the "Director of Video" for the evening. That means I'll be switching and running all video stuff. It sounds like the sanctuary will be packed out. I think it holds around 3,000 people. I could be wrong. It might be more. I haven't heard anything about going on more tours with the Joel Osteen Ministries tour. I do know that I don't want to get up at 5 am again after working all night. That was lame. I'm pretty close to finishing an animation for the Kids ministry at the church. I'm also getting a good idea for the LSM opener video. I'm just frustrated that I don't get things done faster or better (in my opinon). I know years down the road it'll look alot different but for now it's frustrating. I hope I don't have to pay for the laptop that got stolen. They guys at Lakewood told me today that it costs around $2,500. We'll see what happens. Until then, I'm going to call my insurance agency and up the coverage on my car. I wish Danielle was here. I just know that things would be easier if she was around while I was going through all this crap. She's going through crap of her own right now, though. She has to find a way to transport her stuff into Latecias house. It sounds like Action House is going to help out, but we'll see. I also have to think about how we're going to get her stuff out here once we move in to the apartment. Gah!
