National Geographic...here we come

So, Brad received a phone call out of the blue on Thursday last (17 August) from his old internship boss at National Geographic TV & Film, asking him if he'd like to take up a production coordinator position that had just become vacant. The only drawback was they wanted him there on the 28th (this Monday), so not a whole lot of time to get much done (the position is in Washington, D.C., which is easily a three day drive).

Well, sure enough he accepted the offer, quit his camera job at the LDS Motion Picture Studio, and we've got everything packed away in the Blunck's basement...again. Yup, we're only taking what can fit in our car. (Its the story of our life.) When we finally figure out where we'll be staying and if we'll be there permanently, we'll either come back and drive a U-Haul out or have it shipped.

The coolest thing about this is that Brad will be filling the vacancy left by his teacher from BYU, April Chabries, who got him the internship two years ago. Apparently, she quit BYU to go out there for work, and she was recently promoted to be an associate producer on a PBS-distributed NatGeo show called "Wild Chronicles" which my old NatGeo All Roads Film Festival boss, Mark Bauman, is the executive producer for. Small world, eh?!
