Lights, Camera, Action!

Mike's 1965 Mustang Fastback was filmed today. We drove to Spanish Fork to a storage place where they are filming a low budget film called 95ers: Echoes. It was rather insteresting. We got paid $80 bucks for use of his Mustang. They filmed it on the freeway first. They had the actors driving the car down the freeway. Mike got to ride in a Mini Van driving along side it that they were filming out of. Mikes stipulation was he had to be with the car the whole time. I didnt get to go on that part though because there was not enough room for me. Oh well. Apparently everything went well. The car came back in one piece. I did get to see them play back their footage.
Next they had Mike park it in a storage unit. We got to watch them film some scenes. It was cool. I am excited to see the finished product. Like I said, it is a low budget film so I am sure not many will see it. It was fun being a part of it though. We didnt have a camera with us (of course) so here are some pictures we got on the cell phone.

Park City Car Show

This was a very eventful weekend. The Northern Utah Mustang Owners Association... aka NUMOA put on an MCA Grand national show in Park City this weekend. For those of you who don't speak Mustang, the local car club put on a huge car show with lots of out-of-towners. They only do a couple Grand Nationals a year and they are the big of big car shows in the mustang world.

Anyways... Mike and I shared a condo in Park City with his sister, her girlfriend, and her son. It was a blast! Friday was the Pony trails where we had between 75-100 Mustangs drive to Mirror Lake. On the way back, we were three cars back from a Mustang that hit a deer. It was sad. Other than that, it was a fun. I managed to forget sunscreen so I am very burned. So i am hoping that I wont be peeling for the wedding.

Saturday was the show. We had about 375 mustangs lined up Main Street in Park City. I wish I had some pictures to share... but of course I forgot my camera. That was a hectic day. Mike and I got up at 4 am to help with parking. we were guarding a parking lot that was reserves for trucks and trailers. we had lots of unhappy Park City-ans who wanted to park there. We did good fending them off... but then after we left, someone moved the barricades and so a whole bunch of people parked in there blocking the trailers. So after the show we had a fun time getting the trailers out without damaging cars.

Saturday night was a banquet held at the canyons. We got to ride the Gondola up to a restaurant up top of the mountain. I loved riding the Gondola and the Cabriolet. I actually rode the cabriolet a few times just for fun. I had never ridden in a ski lift that you stand in before.

Today was another show in the parking lot at the Canyons resort. That one was for all Fords so we had more than just mustangs. It was fun. i got to ride the Cabriolet again, which is always enjoyable. After that show we did the awards ceremony. Mike didn't win any awards on his 66 mustang convertible... but that was because he entered it as "Display only" which meant he wasn't eligible to win any awards. His sister Heather won first in her class for her 93 Mustang.

After the awards ceremony, we went outside to find it was pouring. So the drive home down Parleys canyon was a bit scary ... but we survived. Mikes convertible had a couple leaks so we got a little wet... but not too bad.

I enjoyed the show... but I am so happy to be home. Mike and I both have work off tomorrow so we get a relaxing day. Most of all, I am Very Happy to get to sleep in my own bed!

It's been awhile

I was looking over peoples blog and thinking to myself "they havent done any posts for awhile"...then i realized that I have gone longer than they have without posting! Life just gets crazy. The wedding stuff is coming along. Shannon went with me wedding shopping last week. That was a huge help (thanks shannon!). I got the invitations mostly all printed up and put together. Ok, i take that back, I only have one box done. But still its progress! Getting peoples addresses is not going as well as I had hoped though. Thats a bit more time consuming.
I am so excited about my center peices! I am going for a rustic theme so the center peices are old looking lanters (but not really old, just old looking) with a battery operated flickering candle. I cannot have real flames in the building so the battery operated candles will have to do. It looks so awesome though when you take those lanterns into a dark room. I am soo excited! I also now have my veil. My coworker was kind enough to lend me hers... so I am happy.
The most exciting things... is that finally we got the officiator! I was a bit worried there that we wouldnt be able to find anyone to marry us. What good is a wedding if there is no one to do the legal marriage cermony. That is all resolved though ($75 later).
All in all, the wedding stuff is coming along. I am not as busy with it all as i was. I actually have enough time now that I started re-reading the Twilight Series. I wanted to re-read the first 3 books before reading the new one that just came out.
Well off I go again. Tonight Mike's family is having a BBQ to celebrate all the august birthdays (his two sisters and nephew all have birthdays in august). It should be fun. His family is fun to be around. Plus... I love BBQ's! Till next time...
