2015 Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Graduated from USC with a masters in film production. Have a credit on a feature film under my belt and not something stupid like a production assistant. By then I will have been a PA enough that I can make fun of being a PA. Married but no kids yet – sorry Dad. Maybe have a child in the next year or two after that, depending on how much money I am making. I will be living in LA, working hard, traveling a lot for shoots.

2020 Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

5 years. 32 years old. As writing that I want to be married requires the active decision by another party (of which I cannot control), I will not write it—though it would be nice to see that I’ve been happily married for a couple years at that point. Am I jinxing myself? I see myself in stabilized health and no longer in a rollercoaster of diets. I see myself making pretty good money in the movies. I see myself belly-laughing often.

January 19th, 2020 This year Master D was flying home from New Zealand on his birthday. He landed in SLC on the 20th for 24 hours before heading back to NYC. We went straight from the airport to Cheesecake Factory to celebrate.

And then I made him a picnic cake for a home celebration before he left the next day to go back to New York.
