Dancing With Angels Movie Premiere!

Well, It finally happened!!! "Dancing With Angels" is now completely finished and we held our movie premiere on October 7th, 2007 at the Realm! We had about 138 people show up to see the movie. I was very pleased with the turnout and was so thankful to see that my mom's great desire had been accomplished. (only through Christ though)When people first started showing up, I was feeling stressed, excited, nervous, and everything else! Then, I was talking to my grandpa, and as I was talking, I started thinking about my mom and how this was a big day for us, and she wasn't there. I found Mrs. Ascher (like a mom to me) and just started crying on her shoulder, and of course she knew what was wrong. It was just so hard to do all of this without my mom. The same thing happened with graduation. Mrs. Ascher told me that night, "I guess you'll have to elope"... since that would be the easy way out!
After crying it out, I was good to go for the rest of the night!
While we played the movie, I sat next to Sage and John and we talked through the whole movie. It seemed strange to watch ourselves and our project so we tried to distract ourselves! Now that I remember, that was the first time that we had watched the movie together. We had seen it separately on our own, but never together. It was just a very special night.


After the movie was over, we had the reception with cookies and punch. The Hunt girls and Kayla Mckinnon were such a big hep with that! Then, we started having tons of people come up to us asking us to autograph their Dvds. That was hilarious to me!
Some people bought the movie and had us autograph it so that they could put it in the Christian library not too far away.


I know that I'm really going to miss this project. I already do miss it. Everyone was so much fun and a real blessing. I remember back at how it all happened and am just so blown away that God pulled it together. If I had never gotten on HSA, then I would never met John Naylor, then I would have never had help with the movie, therefore it would have never happened. God is truly amazing!

So, now I'm just praying about future film ideas and I'm waiting on God!
