Jeannie ended up getting home early last night, but we stayed up and talked for awhile since Caiden was still snoozing and got home about 11:40. It was around 2 when I finally got in bed though.
We opted to not go to church this morning because we are usually ready to eat lunch and crash after it's over and we wanted to be alive, alert, awake, enthusiastic (my FCCLA kids know about this one) for Bradford today. So I slept in a little and got ready super early because I was pretty excited, I don't know why. I guess it makes me happy when I get to see General Hospital people (actors or fans). So it was finally time to leave, we got to the expo center a little early and got a good seat. I was excited because it wasn't as packed as the one in Tulsa was that we went to in February. Mama realized before we even left the house that she forgot her earrings. So what does she do? She goes and BUYS a new pair of earrings because heaven forbid she have nakey ears (love you Mama). For those of you who don't know, it was a women's living expo, so there were plenty of places there to buy earrings and just about anything a woman would need. Anyway, she gets the earrings and comes to sit back down. I see that people are starting to line up in the autograph line, so I told Mama that she could stay where we were seated and I would go save us a place in line. So she ends up in the front row taking pictures.
Lots of questions went his way, mostly about GH and such. I asked him about baby names, he said they had some ideas, but nothing picked out for sure. So afterward, Mom came and got in line and we were talking and this lady comes up and says she saw one of my tweets about the event that one of her friends retweeted (people who don't have Twitter, I realize you don't understand this lingo, so disregard it...tell yourself she saw something I said about the event). For those wondering, no, random people coming up to me and saying they saw me on Twitter or Facebook or a message board is no longer weird to me, especially when I'm at things like this. I like meeting new people who are big GH fans like me. She introduced herself (her name's Liz, she's from FtS) and we started talking, she said she's going to FCW with some of the Lante girls (yes, she's a Lante fan, even more of a plus). Long story short, we started following each other on Twitter (okay non-Tweeters, you're just going to have to get used to this lingo because I refer to Twitter A LOT!), so I'm really excited to have someone who lives close to me who is a big fan. That's never happened before, so it's totally awesome.
Anyway, we get up there to meet Bradford. Of course, Mama and I couldn't pass up a trip to Southern Bling to get a bow and onesie for Bradford and Kiera's new little one (in case you didn't know, it's a girl, I wouldn't be buying bows for a boy, I'm not THAT mean). So I gave that to him and warned him it was more of a Kiera thing, but he wanted to open it, so he did and I was surprised at how excited he was. He's going to be such a great dad! So he signed my Port Chuck CD and my book and one of the pre-printed picture the news station has printed up (just because he felt generous, I guess). I told him I was going to FCW and he got all excited about that. Between Bradford and I talking 90-to-nothing, I think Mama got some words in edgewise. She was just excited to be there, she LOVES Bradford. We got a picture and Mama totally makes B and I both look white as ghosts (thanks Mama).
So all-in-all the day was pretty much amazing. Until next time, I'll leave you with a picture of our wonderful day :)
