My brother will be working on this film if it reaches its goal of $135,000 in donations. Their goal is the deciding factor for whether it goes into production or not! Right now they are at just over $30,000, and only have 20 more days to reach their goal. The film is inspired by true stories. Read the information and synopsis, and if you can, please donate whatever amount of money you are able and willing, $1 or more. I think this looks like a wonderful film that will likely inspire and provide hope for a lot of people. Please, anything helps! Plus I'd really love to see my brother doing what he loves...being on film crew!

One sappy post
I've basically settled into the fact that I'm married now. Mostly. There are still some things I'm not quite used to. The other day I was signing something and mistakenly began signing "Rupprecht." I also occasionally refer to things in our apartment as Jake's or ask him what food "he" has. It still sounds weird (but in a good way, music to my ears:) to call him my husband, or hear him refer to me as his wife.
Some of the greatest things (so far) about being married is not having to say goodbye to him at night, not having to cook for one (we shared a lot of dinners before marriage, but of course not all the time), and his goodbye kisses every morning when he leaves for work. I'm usually half-asleep when he kisses me goodbye, but I cherish them nonetheless. I am also loving our routine we've established this summer. Surely it will change once school starts for me in a couple weeks, but we watch a movie or at least some TV episodes every night before bed. This might seem boring or like it would get old for some people, but we're very much utilizing Netflix this summer, and it's been a great way to just be together and wind down.
I feel very blessed right now. We don't have a ton of money or a nice house to start off our marriage, but we do both have jobs and we have a place to live. So what if it's a small one-bedroom apartment? Of course eventually we'd like something bigger, and hope to have a bigger savings account than we do now, but our little home is perfect for us right now, and we have the abilities to start saving up.
And I know that no marriage is perfect, and no marriage goes without kinks. And we'll have some bad times. But there's no one else that I'd rather undo those kinks and navigate over the bumps with than my husband.
