Ok so the day started very early for me. I was up and out of the house by 6:30 a.m. because I had to go to my friends house and put her hair in rollers because she wanted some wavy locks for the boys. So once we did that and took the girls to school we were on our way. This is what the folks following us down the road got to look at
We were in Portland and checked into the hotel by 10:00 a.m. We went very quickly out to a coupe of stores and had a quick bite to eat, then it was back to the hotel to primp and go scout out the buses. We walked across the street and stood on the sunny end of the buses
We watched people walk in and out of all the buses, we assumed that they were dancers and other workers. So we were standing there and these 3 guys walk off the 3rd bus away from us (we didn't know whose bus was whose) and I remember thinking that looks like Donnie. But I thought no he's too small to be Donnie. Than all of a sudden this man walks up to me and says "Hey baby"

and pulls me into this lovely hug......I swear my feet left the ground for almost a minute. That is seriously how long he hugged me. He was talking in my ear, he told me I was his first hug of the day. After he hugged me he turned me around and put his arm around me and I threw my camera at my friend and this is what I got (now I have never shown a pic of myself because I am soooooo self conscious, but this one is okay so I'm gonna post it)
When we were done with the photo I told him I would see him later at the meet and greet and he said something but I can't remember what. He went on to take pics with the other 20 or so women that were there, but I snapped this too..
OMG this man is amazing. I don't think my feet hit the ground until the following morning. It was incredible. After that I was ready to meet Jordan. I was set and ready to go. My friend on the other hand was scarily quiet. She is usually the more outspoken one of the two of us and she definitely was not in this instance.
