Best blog post update EVER!

I needed a day or two to let myself calm down a bit before I could write this next line.....

IAN GOT THE ROLE!!!  Yes, THE role!  OMG!!!

Here is the official description of what the movie is about:

"Tell Me About Orange" tells the story of Elliot, a gay, blind middle school student, who has been keeping his crush on a boy a secret-even from himself.

Ian is going to play Elliott! 

It was about 7:20pm on Sunday evening when the call came on Ian's cell phone.  Martha, the casting director, was on the phone.  We weren't sure yet who Ian was talking to until we hear him say, "You want me to play Elliot?"

It was at that point we knew and the excitement went thru the roof at Casa del Toppall.  Holy Moly!  This was happening!!  Who knows the reaction you will experience when something like this occurs?  For me, it was instant racing of the heart rate and a mix between an emotional cry/laugh.  WOW!  Once Ian got off the phone, the jumping up and down and screaming in excitement hit the roof.  It was so awesome that we were all home for this moment.

Going into this we kept our expectations realistic and hoped at the most Ian was going to be asked to be an extra.  But this turn of events was simply crazy.    

I'm thinking ahead and got the screening party plans forming.
