Thank You Western Idaho Cabinets!

By -


So I got this random check in the mail the other day (who doesn't love that) from Western Idaho Cabinets. Since I had never heard of them, Ender suggested contacting them before cashing it. I looked them up online and wrote a quick email to customer service. I got a lovely email back saying it's a commission check for a photo I sold. Sweet!

Ok so here's the back story: Since moving to St. George I have been on Craigslist a lot looking at both the job and furniture section. I saw a posting for photographers I thought I'd check it out. They wanted people to send in St. George pictures of interest, one being the St. George Temple. They were looking for new pictures for an expo they would be doing in town and to have on their website. If they liked your picture they would contact you and put it on a 3-4 month trial period to see if any sold. They chose one of the pictures I sent in but then I didn't hear a thing from them until the check came in the mail. I'm not sure how many of my pictures sold because they didn't say and the commission ranges by size of picture but from the amount of the check I had to have sold at least 8. How cool is that?! At least 8 people have a photo I took in their house. I know it's not a lot and really not that big of a deal but it's a first for me. If you want to look up the website it is www.framedlegacy.com. I love their temple pictures.

Here is the photo I sent in of the St. George Temple.



And here is what they did with it.


Now that the expo is over and people can only order online we'll see if anymore commission checks come. Either way it has been an exciting experience.

I love it with the Sepia finish with the roses still being red. I might have to order one if I get a decent commission check sometime. :) Not too many things cooler then getting money you didn't know was coming.

2018 in Review

By Andrew -
2018 Year in Review (and a little of 2017 for context) We’re sorry we haven’t written a proper letter for a couple of years, and it has been even longer since we’ve mailed one, but sometimes life is so good we can’t think of things to brag about. Over the past few years we have accumulated sufficient news to rub in your faces, we’re reviving the tradition.   Early in 2017 Ender applied to 13 university counseling centers and was interviewed by 12. The only site that didn’t seem interested was the University of Utah proving once and for all that God does not want us to return to the holy land. Match day came and we got our first choice: Colorado State University in Fort Collins! That Summer we said goodbye to our home in Indiana and the great friends we made over the 4 years we lived there, Ender started his clinical internship, and Jacob started 1st grade in a brand new school.   In 2018 Jacob finished 1st grade and then started 2nd grade at the SAME SCHOOL. ...

Road to Ghana

There were two things about leaving Cape Town that were hard: 1) Getting back to work after 8 days off is always a bit of an adjustment, and this would be no exception, and 2) We would be leaving the temperate climate of South Africa and making our way back to the equator.  This leg of the trip had plenty of fun things scheduled that made it SUPER FUN:  First, and most certainly least: a lifeboat drill. It wouldn't be ship-life without the monthly drill. We are getting faster! There was also a wedding onboard!  Okay, not really, but a funny little joke spiraled into a full blown ceremony.  You see, one of the things you can sign up for when you are a staff, faculty, or life-long-learner is to host a "ship family."  This means that college students who are looking for "ship parents" can sign up and be matched with older adults to have an occasional "family dinner" and basically have some community outside of their peers if they want.  The "bride,...

Sea Olympics

 A crazy thing happened on the ship between Mozambique and South Africa:  Kim and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary!   We had tentative plans to have "fancy dinner" on the ship, in which you can order an expensive meal in the Four Seasons Restaurant, but as (bad) luck would have it, the restaurant was closed for mid-term exams on our anniversary.  So, we decided to get burgers and fries in the Chappy bar instead.  Another cool thing happening on the ship was the Sea Olympics, which took place the day after our anniversary.  The Sea Olympics are a HUGE ship wide event. Every voyager on the ship is assigned into a sea when they board according to where they are staying on the ship (I think). Each sea has a Residence Director (RD) who leads occasional meetings throughout the voyage. It's virtually the dorm of each student on this floating campus.  All adults (staff, faculty and Life Long Learners, children, and companions) are part of the Aeg...
