Guardian of Immortality Movie Premiere!

4 yrs in the making mike berding’s movie finally made the big screen!  the parkland theater is a small local theater that supports independent film makers.

mike had a number of businesses supporting his movie so he had a number of doorprizes to give away!

i enjoy this picture a lot. confession: i only brush my hair when i have to wear it down! otherwise, i dry it and whip it up into a pony! :-O so to spend the amount of

time to make it perfect like this everyday…makes me cringe! good for you man, i wish i had that desire.

the talented mike. writer, producer, director, actor…the list goes on.

mike called me about 4yrs ago and asked me to take stills for the movie he was shooting. i was flattered to be part of such a cool experience! along the way he experienced all kinds

of difficulties that would have prevented any other person from continuing. cheers to you mike for your determination and drive to finish!! the movie was great, will there be a sequel? hehe :)   heart, melanie

melanie jo hearts anna jo.

i didn’t know it was possible for a 2 day old child to lift their head. crazy!

ruffle butt. hehe, i love it. adam’s favorite.

poppi’s (my dad) favorite image. doesn’t she look a few months old?!

and here we have melanie JO with anna JO. i’m so excited to be a godmother!! i just can’t get over how her color, shape, and complexion are so perfect.

where does the ‘jo’ come from? i was supposed to be a boy, and would have been joseph, after my grandpa. woops! so i got the middle name instead. annnd my aunt is

deborah jo, after her dad…and she is britt’s godmother. so they are continuing the tradition with anna jo! looooove it!
