Word has it that I’m moving to South Carolina.

I’m chuckling to myself a bit as I write this, because every time I mention to someone the possibility of a move, next thing I know, everyone thinks it’s set in stone. Maybe I just don’t do a good job of explaining things to people. While there is a good possibility of such a move, there are some qualifiers…

Earlier this summer, I spent nearly two months living with my dear friends, the DiMaria family, helping with various post-production roles on Bros. Geno DiMaria (who is nineteen, as I am) and I have grown quite close in the almost-two years that we’ve known each other (has it really only been that long?). This June, we began a Limited Liability Corporation together, Block One Studios, LLC.

During the time I was there, we picked up a couple video jobs, including a wedding and some real-estate videos. Since I left (in the middle of July), they’ve continued running the business, which is starting to get more business. For instance, in November, we’ll be shooting a conference for Life Compass International.

Our desire is to take Block One full time. Currently, Geno holds a part-time job at a Sears store, and I’m still working part-time at Rainbow Resource Center.

So to get back to the topic of moving: we’d like to go into video full time sometime this fall. This would mean me needing to be in South Carolina. I’ve considered different options, including an all-out change of residency… For now, however, I’m thinking that it would make it simpler to keep my residency here at home, and living in SC for two to three months at a time.

Of course, all these plans are tentative; only my Lord knows what’s actually going to happen. Geno and I are seeking Him in this — it’s not a light decision to quit part-time jobs to go into a business in a field you’re a student in, much less when you’re 19 years old and have never run a legal business before.

I can say this for sure: if I end up moving, I’m going to miss my family (I’ve only spent the last 19 years with them, ya know!)… I’ll miss the quiet environment of living out in the middle of cornfields.

Geno and I both appreciate your prayers for us as we strive to “seek first the Kingdom of God!”
