Old Future

OLD FUTURE from Cory LeSueur on Vimeo.

Cory is forming a new company with his partner Michael Potter. He has spent this past week putting their Reel together. I, obviously, think it is awesome and heart-pounding. Thanks to Tom Bean for the awesome logo.

Happy Holidays

I tend to not plan for "special moments" - its just not my thing. But this past Monday just happened to be the anniversary of Cory's proposal and so we took the kids up to temple square to see the lights. We walked up to the spot up the hill overlooking temple square where Cory popped the question. And, of course, Cory caught it all on video. Isn't it magical?

Ignore the fact that I look like a single mom...

Townes = Cory

Even though I know he has my eyes, (people always say he looks tired...but its the droopy Wilcox eyes) everything else is Cory.

That's Cory's face for "ya so I'm eating in a monkey hat, big deal."

Exhibit B:



That's just all Cory

Facebook Friday #3

You have to keep your sense of humor during a crisis.

Cory's Stills

Obviously Cory offered to do Bryan and Julia's wedding video. They thought that would maybe be nice but really wanted him to be their photographer. Julia even called and asked if she could pay him since they really wanted him to take pictures the whole time.



Cory was pretty nervous, he has never been a photographer. I think they turned out amazing.
Helps that the couple is gorgeous. Julia's dress (which she designed and sewed herself) is beyond perfect and the setting was an overcast day in the ever-inspiring Nevada City, CA.




I"M SO EXCITED FOR THESE TWO! I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY ARE MARRIED!!!!

Facebook Friday #2

The gem is at the end...



CONGRATULATIONS ANNE!!!!!NO ONE IS GOING TO LEAVE YOU IN MEXICO NOW!

you didn't think I had it in me did you?

Beautiful, I know. Cory is a lucky man.

It's Cory's birthday today. Sadly, the awesome picture I got him hasn't arrived yet. I guess the celebrations will just have to last until Monday. That's okay, we have a lot planned.

1. Dinner and a movie tonight (thanks Grandma Donnay for taking the kids)
2. Dotty wants to make a Mario Cake for him.
3. Fixing the garbage disposal
4. Working
5. Convincing him that his recurrent (and current) walking pneumonia is probably caused by a milk allergy (despite the fact that he doesn't drink that much milk...)

Anyway I love this guy so much. And to that he'd probably say "shut up"
and my heart skips a beat.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CORY

Cory's birthday is in a week and thanks to my awesome brother Greg, I got him this tender picture to celebrate our love (for law & order).
He's in Seattle for the rest of the week filming plastic getting the s&^% beat out of it and so I'll be back to organizing the s&*^ out of the house.

Off my Meds

So you know how how when people get sick they take medicine and sometimes, if it's a mental illness, or something chronic or terminal, they take it for a long time? And then maybe they've been taking the medicine so long they feel so good and normal that they start to think they don't need the medicine anymore at all?
But inevitably, when they go off their meds they get sick or go crazy again.
That's always the scenario when I go a few days without Cory.

Facebook Friday #1

So I think from now on I'm going to dedicate Fridays to my favorite Cory thread on Facebook, because if you missed this exchange you are seriously missing out.



And Greg, you better be ready to see this with him, because he's going opening day and apparently I'm not good enough.

Why Cory won't be called as Primary Chorister

As many of you know, Cory likes to change lyrics to songs. With Dot learning primary songs, that is where his attention has been lately.
Here are some of my favorites so far.

"Father I love you, Father you too
Father in Heaven has sent me to Dudes"

And

"Jesus went to John the Baptist, in Judea, on a boat
And was capsized by a sturgeon in the river Jordan flow"

My Musical Man

Happy Father's Day to this guy. He is the best.



He sees the world through music, so I should have made him a mix tape. But instead I gave him the next best thing

Summer Begins

A wonderful evening with good friends, funny dogs and delicious pizza. Thanks for having us over Sarah and Elliot.

Final Countdown

I gave my desk to the incoming intern and moved in with Cory at the "freelancers" table. He was pissed when I tried to document our lovenest. So don't tell him I posted it.
2 more days in Salt Lake, then 2 days in Chicago and then I'm done! I don't know who is more excited, me or Dot. Probably me...but maybe Dot.

Big News

Come June 11th I'll be working for this guy. I resigned from my 8-5 to devote more time to marketing my best asset. This dude. Wish us luck.

So I was in Vegas

And Cory took the kids to the park. These are the famous purple slides that Dotty loves.

I wish I could blame Dotty's messy hair on Cory watching her, but it doesn't look much better when I watch her.

We're a couple of twos

Go Do from Cory LeSueur on Vimeo.

Cory made this video of our highlights from 2010 so far. This year has been incredible. Mostly incredible in how many times Oliver runs to the trampoline...giving Cory ample footage for a two-cameraesque edit.
Other highlights:
- Visiting The Rices in Oregan
- Dot turning 3
- Easter!
- Townes making Dot laugh over and over.

And yes, I saw this at work for the first time.
And yes, I may have cried a little bit.

I'll post pictures of my mom's trip down this past week - but I had to get this up before it got too old. Cory and his brothers played for Nicole's 30th birthday party a few weeks ago. Even though I was as sick as a dog - I ventured out to see my sexy keyboardist. It was soo awesome.

I love Daddy

Dotty absolutely loves her Daddy. When we drop him off at the airport, she wants to go with him and we spend the whole weekend talking about how great he is. Watching this video of what they do all day together, I'm not surprised that she thinks so highly of him.
