Another photo shoot

I am happy to see the family is getting going on this. Nice job team. Thanks for the "Bonj" Stephen. It was real nice. And Dad thanks for your thoughts about the visit to Utah. It was really nice to see you out here. John and I really enjoyed being up in Logan with you. It is a little bit hard to see Grandpa aging so rapidly physically.

I wanted to write a little about the photo shoot that I participated in this past weekend. The Italian artist, Angelo Musco, a visionary really, had to come back to Utah to reshoot some of the scenes we shot back in March. In this artistic piece, I am a nine month pregnant woman who is going into labor and alone with no one to help me. When I described what I was doing to John, he looked real skeptical and kind of weirded out. Then he said after a pause, "I mean, I want to be supportive of the things you're involved in Julie, but that sounds really crazy and pretty much completely weird." Which is not an inaccurate statement.

I had this moment of hilarity when I was in the freezing desolation of the Salt Flats and Angelo with his colorful striped scarf twirling around me told me "I need you to turn left, then right, then turn round on yourself. Think dramatic, BIG, movements!" All the while he's making large swooping dramatic movements. It gave me a moment of pause - what was I doing?

On another note - I was at Grandma and Grandpa Miller's house on Saturday evening and Grandma was looking over "the collector's edition Star" magazine. This is the conversation that ensued:

"Now Julie, there was one thing I didn't understand about this cute newsletter."
I braced myself for some commentary on my "years of rejection."
"I didn't understand Andrew's - what is circa? What does that mean?"
So the only concern from Grandma Miller was the meaing of circa. I think the newsletter was a success. Thanks for all of your hardwork Stephen.
