I told my husband and he was in. We had about five days to make the video and he was gone for one of them. Leaving us with four and we needed to head out of town on the final day.
We started working on scripts the day we learned about the video. We started out with an Frozen Parody of "Do You Want to Make a Snowman" but changing it to "Do you want to make a baby?" It was a super cute idea, but we didn't have enough time to sing the song through and try and cover the requirements of the video entry either.
We ended up with this idea. We were supposed to make the video at home, during the day with nice lighting, but couldn't ever tear away from work. When we did get home, after hours of trying to get everything perfect, We ended up fighting out of frustration and heartache struggling to rehash what our last 4 years have been like and making light of it. Also, how do you tell your journey of four crazy hard years in two minutes?
We ended up trying to film it on our drive to Utah from Wyoming. It was difficult to try and film, edit, and send a video like that, but we had hope.
Unfortunately, our video was not considered for one of the five grants they ended up giving away. I watched the first video. It had, like, celebrities on it! It was amazing. I couldn't watch anymore after that. I knew we had been sorely beat. However, the video shows what our life is like. Bumpy. Not professional or perfect. Not even well planned out. But that is what Infertility has done. It has left us bumpy, not perfect, or planned out. So I'm sharing this video here. Though no one will see it because I don't promote this and that's okay. Makes it more like a journal entry. Sorry for so may videos, blogger doesn't like to add long videos to its site! The last one is my favorite though!!
