Stadium of Fire!

Happy 4th of July!

So today we went to the Stadium of Fire! It was pretty awesome... but it would would have been better if we were fans of the Jonas Brothers. But regardless the fireworks were amazing!!!

Here are some of the pictures:






They had some really cool fire dancers

Invasion of the cats!

This summer the illustrious Mr. Fu condescended to stay with us while his family was away. Julie's kitten Lily also visited us while her family was in Hawaii. Fiero was scared of Lily at first and hid in the tub whenever she approached but he found his courage eventually and was glad to have so many friends around. We're not sure how Mr. Fu feels about the whole arrangement, he spends most of his time in the sink, though if we can judge by his expanding waist line he seems to be rather content. Eric and I enjoy having a house full even though there are cats wherever we turn! Sometimes as I sit at home alone working on my mural I feel like an old cat lady...

Our Summer thus Far



We started a blog. Eric is the primary author, with Shantell acting in the capacity of chief editor, photographer, publisher and wife.

The biggest news that we have is that we'll be having a baby this next February! We're way excited! The only problem is that Shantell and I can't agree on any girl names. So if you have any good suggestions let us know. (Personally I'm just hoping for a boy so we can avoid the situation all together...)

Here are some of the things that we have done this summer:
  • With Shantell's artistic touch and my technical knowledge, We made a website for Shantell to show off her art work: ShantellTedjamulia.com
  • We both went to Spring semester. Shantell took a 3D modelling class where she learned to use Maya. Here is a scene that she made:

  • I took a Internet programming class and a Computer Graphics class. For my final project in my computer class I made a 3D game called CubeQuest.

    .
  • Shantell got an art commission to paint a mural for the head BYU football coach's son. She is going to be painting a large fantasy scene full of mythical creatures. She is still designing the initial sketches, but its looking pretty cool!
  • This last term I worked as a Teaching Assistant for CS252, a computer science class. Now I am working as a Research Assitant in BYU's Data Mining Laboratory. I also am working on as a Web developer and Software programmer for the BYU Print/Mail production center (where I have been working since I got back from my mission)
  • We went to Julie's Wedding in Georgia! Here are some of the pictures
  • I got an internship with the church's quality assurance department for this next fall. The group that I am going to be working with deals mainly with the testing of the Church's websites. Lucky for me, they are moving from Church Headquarters in Salt Lake to Riverton, UT... about 30 min away.
