Well, my time in North Carolina is coming to an end!
It’s been really fun though, but a lot of work. I tried to do my best with eating healthy while I was here, but I didn’t get to work out much at all. With me, Cody and Zoie in a little studio apartment and being gone about 12 hours a day, I’ve had no time or room to keep up with my workout regimen.
Yet somehow, I feel like I’ve lost some weight. My pants are a bit looser — I have no idea how it happened, but I’m not asking any questions! Now when I get home, I’m going to hop back on the treadmill and keep up with my program a lot better!
I did bring my Nutrisystem with me though and was able to bring it to the set most days. Thank goodness the food is really easy to take wherever you go, that really saved me from eating some of the unhealthy craft service food!
These past couple of weeks seem to have gone quickly and now I can’t wait to get home. It was like a little vacation for the family, but I think going home and laying in my own bed will be the best part. Cody started his drive home late last night in hopes that he’ll arrive back at about the same time as I do this weekend.
Ah, home sweet home!!

Hey everyone!
I’m here in North Carolina on the set of my first feature film, Port City!
I’ll write more later, but here are a couple of photos I can share with you now:
From left to right, that’s Andy Brown the writer/director of the film; me; our producer Heath Franklin, and John Wesley Schipp who plays "George" — and don’t forget our sound guy Nate behind us with the boom mic!

Wow! This has been the busiest week I’ve had in a while. I arrived in Wilmington, N.Car., late last Saturday and have been going ever since.
It’s really exciting filming my first movie. It’s a completely different experience than anything I’ve ever done before — longer days for a much smaller amount of scenes. We usually shoot about 5-6 pages a day and that has been averaging about 12 hours a day!
The cast and crew of Port City are really great though and a lot of fun to work with. I couldn’t have asked for a more fun experience.
Cody and Zoie came with me too, of course! They’ve been getting to spend a lot of good “baby & daddy” time together while I’m at work. I have this weekend off, so we are planning on heading out to tour around and do some touristy things.
We went to Wrightsville Beach yesterday for lunch on the water. The beaches are totally different here than in California!
I can’t believe we’ve been here for a week already. With only one more week of filming, it’ll go by quickly. I definitely miss home!
