Art Intern.
A few months ago I had the opportunity to be the Art Intern on the PBS film, "Greely". Well, this past Monday it aired! It was so cool to see all of the projects I had worked on show up on television. Back in the fall when I interned it really solidified that I definitely want to work in the Art Department of film and television. And, it played a part in my feeling like yes, God is calling me to move to Los Angeles this summer. It feels so weird to write that! Through research and talking to people I had learned that working in the Art Department/Set Decorating you get to mix art, history, psychology, and interior design and I definitely saw that play out and loved it!
Monday night as I was watching the show I was reminded that the Lord is for me. It is so easy for me to compare my life to other peoples' around me, only see where my life isn't where I thought it would be at my age, and wonder what in the world God is thinking when it comes to where He is taking my life. But, Monday all of those thoughts were wiped away, because God reminded of this is where He has my life, and boy is it good. Boy, is He good.
And, it was kind of fun to see my name in the credits too...

Mr. Schuester's Dining Room.
This picture is posted on the SDSA website...
I am the one on the left with the dark brown bob laughing. Notice, no one else is laughing or even really smiling, but I guess I found something to be funny. I do not remember this moment of laughter amongst silence though.
See the lady in the white shirt and black and white pants standing at the head of the table, she is the Set Decorator on Glee, Barbara Munch, we were just hanging out on set. Next time you watch Glee pay special attention to Mr. Schuester's dining room filled with real Pottery Barn furniture. Funny story, Glee asked Pottery Barn to give them furniture originally (because Terri Schuester LOVES Pottery Barn) and they said no. Then, PB came back once the show got bit and offered to donate table, chairs, etc., but Glee was like, we already have our furniture, so nope. Moral of the story, if a television show or movie asks for a donation of your goods, give it to them, you never know if it is going to be the next hit!

Welcome to Hollywood, what's your dream?
This past weekend I went to Los Angeles for the Set Decorator Society of America's Day With A Set Decorator. You may remember me blogging about it here. It was pretty fabulous, so...
Here is my Top 10 list from my 5 days in L.A.:
10. Flying on a free buddy pass on Southwest thanks to my sweet friend Jenna. Thank you, again, Jenna!
9. Knowing how to get to Target in West Hollywood without using my GPS.
8. Seeing the hills and ocean, plus having a city bus drive by me, all in one day.
7. Hearing about why the Bible is still relevant today at church.
6. Hanging out all morning at The Getty. The weather was gorgeous, the antique furniture was amazing, the architectural tour was wonderful, the fall leaves were enormous and orange yellow, the views were to die for, and the succulents were the most beautiful I have ever seen.
5. Seeing my friends Gretchen and Jennie. They were so warm and welcoming to me while in town and fun to hang with!
4. Celeb sightings at Warner Brothers...Conan and Zachary Levi. (Z.L. might be my newest crush.)
3. Touring the set of Glee! Yes, I got to see everything from Will's house to Emma and Sue's offices, to the choir room, auditorium, cafeteria, and Rachel's room. I also got to see what I think is their bikes. And, I think my bike would fit in just perfectly.
2. Hanging out with my cousin, Ellen, who is the closest thing I have ever had to a sister. We got to see each other twice and I was so encouraged by her creativity and fresh outlook on life.
1. Meeting so many professional Set Decorators who have worked on beautiful movies and television shows including The Holiday, ER, Little Fockers, True Blood, Four Christmases, Anchorman, Almost Famous, Parenthood (the t.v. show), Will and Grace, and more. They were so nice and encouraging, saying that if you are passionate and work hard you can make it in the set decorating business. And, the top highlight was going on an in-depth tour of the Warner Brother's prop house and eating lunch with the set decorator from CBS's $#*! My Dad Says and being offered an opportunity to intern with her. Amazing dream come true huh? What a reminder that sometimes God's plans are better than my own.
