The kids and I have been doing work as Extras this summer on Friday Night Lights in Austin. We wwere booked today for a church scene.
Today was awesome!!!!! We got up really early. Last night, I did not sleep well at all. I was up half the night wondering what if. I have this morbid fear of getting lost with the kids and I was just a bundle of nerves at the thought of driving into Austin alone with the kids.
Then we left at 7:30 this morning. The traffic was horrible. We got to Austin, got lost, turned around, got lost then got turned AGAIN, then finally found the church.
When we signed in, I asked the man if Kyle was going to be there and expalined about Benji wanting to meet him. He said he would see what he could do. Our scene that we filmed wasn't with Kyle. It was with Landry and we were sitting directly behind him.
After they said it was a wrap, the extras director called our family aside and took us to the trailers and lo and behold, Kyle came out. He introduced himself to us, commented on Grace's name, said it was his g'mother's name. He then told us this story about how his g'ma inlaw had cancer, then fought it, then got her drivers' license when she was like 80. I told the kids that in the olden days, proper ladies didn't drive just like their g'ma. I asked him if he was learing his way around Austin. He said that he has to use a GPS and his wife is better with directions. I said I'm directionally impaired I make a better passenger than I did a driver. At that point I was starting to worry about getting lost leaving Austin, so I quick changed the subject. He had his motorcycle parked there and I told him it was cute. He said that he brings his dog on the motorcycle. I then told him about our car sick cat(yeah, I know, can anyone say dork?) And he said he'd never bring a cat on his bike.
We then got pictures. He took a pic with all of us and when he took a pic with just me, he sort of growled and squeezed me so hard, I actually fell against him.
He was absolutely precious. A real gentleman. It was literally 102 in the shade and we weren't standing in the shade, and he just kept talking to us. He had to tell josh to zip up his fly, and i told Josh yeah, put your horse back in the barn and Kyle laughed. Hi has a little bitty chip in one tooth and his eyes are the same color as mine, kind of greenish with gold and brown. What a sweet heart he was!
