Sidenote: A couple technical difficulties in this video! Quick passing clouds (constant change in lighting) and my mic's battery died in the middle without me realizing it! I had to put new batteries in and start where I thought I left off. Lol hope it wasn't too distracting. Motto: Done is better than perfect.
