More Pixair

Harris likes this video better. So I am doing another post. Once I post, I do not change.

P.S. I hear that some of you have been reading my blog. I appreciate comments.

Pixair

About two months ago, Harris got a new job with an aerial footage company called Pixair. He is a producer and is loving it! Basically his job is to build relationships with potential clients and then sell their services to those clients.

What is special about them is that they use a remote controlled helicopter that runs on a battery and a camera is mounted to it. The two guys that started the business operate it. One flies it and the other wears these goggles that show him only what the camera sees and then controls the camera. Since they aren't using gas, a real helicopter, a camera or helicopter crew, the cost is dramatically lower to get these shots.

They work with a lot of resorts and national parks and travel all over the world. They have also done a few movies and are currently in Florida filming great white sharks for National Geographic! The perk of this job is that as producer, Harris gets to travel with them to any job he sells (and a few others) and bring his lovely, ever grateful wife!

We are super excited about this job and I am so proud of him!

This is something Pixair shot for the news when the Provo tabernacle burned down.

To see more of what they're all about click here to see their website. Harris even has a little bio. :)

Clayton

Harris' brother Clayton came to Utah for a conference and we got to spend a day with him. It was so nice to show him around Salt Lake and Provo. We love Clayton!

The brothers

All of us at Temple Square.

The Nest on the Hill

Here is our humble little abode. You may remember this house from this post where I make a snowman with a "friend." (aka my future husband.) Harris was living in this house with some friends but now we live here! At first I have to say, when Harris suggested that we move in here, I was a little skeptical. But now I LOVE it and will be sad when we have to move. Its a pretty isolated little house on top of a hill. It is so cute and has a great view. We even have a little family of deer that sometimes comes and grazes in our front yard. I live in a little fairy tale house!

It looks a little shabby here, but looks so much prettier right now in the springtime.

Our view to the right

Our view to the left. Let's go inside now, shall we?

The living room! I finally got around to making it look decent and I absolutely love my little living room.

another view

Our mantle. I wish the fireplace actually worked, but I made it look pretty instead. The picture on the wall is Harris' grandparents wedding picture. His mother gave it to me as a bridal shower gift. Then we have our engagement photo and wedding invitation framed.

The kitchen

More kitchen. I found this little Italian poster and put it up here since Harris is Mr. Italy and I thought it would be cute.

Our bedroom. When Ryan got back from his mission, he brought me a little mexican sun wall hanging that I have always had in every room I've had since I came to Provo. I couldn't not put it up above the bed. I also love that the window looks out to the front view of the house.

Dresser with a little framed picture and quote that Harris' grandfather made us.

I LOVE my little house on the hill. Come visit us some time, we love having guests!

Mr. and Mrs. Anderson

So the very next weekend after Harris and I went to Canada (see post below) we were all the way on the east coast for the sealing. It was nice to be there with all of our friends and to see Harris' family.

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Curt Anderson!

I got to do the flowers again! I did the bridal bouquet and the boutonniere.

Harris and all of his friends. It was so great for all of the six of them to be together again. For those of you who don't know, this is a very tight group.

All of the wives... so far.

Harris, Curt and David.

After the sealing we had some time before the open house so we got to play with Harris' nephew Penn.

Such a little ham, he knew when a camera was in his face.

Oh Canada!

Two weeks ago Harris and I got to go to Canada! We went up for Curt and Marisa's wedding reception. They got married the next week in the Washington DC temple, but due to immigration laws, if they wanted to have a Canada reception, had to do it the week before.

It was my very first time out of the country and it was beautiful, but COLD!

Driving to Banff. The mountains were huge but so beautiful.

This is what I looked like by the time we got there. Fifteen hours in a van with seven people and a small dog.

Harris being so helpful and carrying other people's bags.

As soon as we got to the hotel we had to get ready for photos and then pretty much go straight to the reception.

The happy couple.

Me and Curty.

There were four groomsmen...

and nine bridesmaids!!

The scenery looking out of the foyer of the reception.

The ballroom before everyone came in. I felt so fancy! Someone noted that it looked like a Kardashian wedding.

And of course, it wouldn't have been Curt and Marisa's wedding without booty shakin! Harris and Curt doing the macarena.

The hotel where we stayed and had the reception. It is called the Banff Springs Hotel. It was so beautiful and I felt quite lucky. It was such a fun trip!
