Exciting news, which you probably already know: Chris was cast as an extra in a movie!!!! He's going to be in the new Spielberg movie, Lincoln, which also happens to star the last Mohican Daniel Day Lewis.
Now, how does one react when they find out that someone they love accomplishes such an awesome and exciting once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? Well, I don't want to say that either Chris or I are dramatic or that we immediately assumed that he is going to have a huge part and be a famous movie star.... soooooo I guess I'll have to show you our gchat instead:
[We were already excitedly talking on the phone before I noticed that he called me 'son.' Hmm.]
We then made a bet about how many "likes" and comments there would be on his ecstatic facebook status.
I know, I know. Please don't be intimidated by our extremely mature, adult, and not-at-all competitive relationship.
(Also, I totally won the bet.)
But OF COURSE we didn't have delusions of grandeur about how much screen time he'd get/how his acting career would be launched into the stratosphere/how I'd get to be a movie star's girlfriend....
