Last night I wanted to go to bed early, crawled into bed and was still playing on Twitter! Joey came on right when I went to bed, so of course I need to tweet him! I tweeted him @JoeyMcIntrye I love you this much (___________________________) then I was still laying there tweeting, when I noticed a text come though to my phone, it was what I had just tweeted to Joey! I figured oh my someone just wrote what I wrote to Joey, then I looked and it was to ME! I screamed "OH MY GOD!" then I screamed again "AHHHH HE TWEETED ME" then I screamed about 10 more times, and then really looked at what he said. He replied with JM: I like that - way to be creative with the keypad ;) I wanted to die! I was so excited! I called my sister, left her a message and then called Jen to share my excitement! ;-) I was super excited and still am very excited!

My morning coffee date with my sister and Jonathan Knight

On July 18, 2008 my life changed forever. My sister and I had flown into Houston, TX for the last concert of the Full Service Tour. I woke up really early that morning, filled with excitement. I knew the venue was right next door to our hotel, so I sat at the window starting at about 6 am watching and looking for a possible NKTOB bus. Around 7 am Jonathan Knight tweeted about people at the venue hiding in the bushes and it freaking him out. So at that moment I kinda screamed and told my sister we needed to go over there. She wasn't convinced. So I begged for a bit, then Jonathan Knight tweeted again, and at that moment she said okay so we put on our work out clothes ran over to Starbucks got coffee for us and Jonathan Knight. We ran over to the venue and when we walked up to him there were about 6 - 8 ladies chatting around a man. As my sister and I were walking over, I said that’s him, she said no way. We had a friendly argument debating if it was or was not Jonathan Knight, as we approached we knew it was him. We both had huge smiles on our face. As we walked up we saw that he had another cup of Starbucks and so I said "Its time for round 2 of your morning coffee." I handed him the cup and we all stood around for about 2 minutes, then I asked Jon if we could take pictures together. He agreed. As we went to take pictures my sister and I discovered that she didn’t have a charged battery and I didn’t have a memory card in my camera. We took a couple with my iphone, then he signed the pictures we brought over for him to sign. After we had asked to take pictures and sign things the other ladies also started asking. During this time my sister ran back to the hotel and got her battery and came back and we were able to take some pictures. I felt so bad she ran away to get the camera, because she has always been a Jon girl! She quickly returned and we literally just hung out with Jon. He took pictures, signed things, and called some girls of friends who were there. About 10 other girls joined us during the morning. He shared with us the story of his conversation with Donnie after 12 years of not really speaking to each other, because they had taken different paths. Shared with us about being at Joey’s wedding. He talked about how when he agreed to come back to New Kids on the Block that he only agreed to 8 shows and after the 8^th show he and the rest of the group knew they needed to do more shows. He said “it was so weird because just the other day we had a cake celebrating our 130^th show since the reunion started!” He laughed and said he really only signed up to do 8 shows! He asked us if we could keep a secret. We all said yes and he said, “Jordan and I are going on tour together and I have a solo coming out!” We all literally gasped and he after about what felt like an eternity but was merely 3 seconds said JUST KIDDING!!! He talked to us about how he was excited to go home and put his work boots on and start back to work on Monday. My sister said to him, “Jon we are all just normal people, with normal jobs, and normal lives, but when I am around you, I wave my JON FREAK FLAG” everyone laughed and I chimed in and I said I’m a principal, he looked at me and said “What you are a principal?” and someone else said, I’m an accountant, and at that moment, everyone started saying what they did for a living and Jon said, “You all are normal” He made fun of us for a little bit. He told us we all were crazy emotion woman and we all just continued chatting and laughing together. At that moment he walked away with Jessica and Jon and Jessica had a private moment. When he came back he shared with us an email from his mom, in which he started crying and we all cried and hugged each other. He also asked us to keep that moment private so I will not going into details about it. Then Jon told us he hasn’t slept yet and that it was time for him to go to sleep before the show. He walked away and after he left my sister and I just sat there, and waited in awe! It literally was the best hour and thirty minutes of my life! Moments later Jon tweeted “To everyone I met this morning……Amazing! Can’t believe I already shed tears. Your stories were amazing. Your breath, not so bad!!!)

Weekend with my College Roommates

This weekend me and my college roommates got together for a girls weekend. Sara, Katie and I meet up at Michelle's house in Walnut Creek. It was so fun to just hang out. College days were full of silly moments for me and my roommates and this weekend proved that nothing has changed! We laughed a lot together! On Saturday we headed into the city for Fleet Week. Michelle had a friend who was having a roof party, so we sat on the roof in the Marina area and watched the air show. We had pretty amazing seats! It was my first "roof party" and it was so much fun! United sponsored the event and had a United plane fly right over our heads, it was a little freaky! The Blue Angels were scheduled to perform, however typical San Francisco weather rolled it and the fog coverage grounded them. ;-( But it still was an incredible air show! We then walked around Pier 39. It was a super fun day! We reminisced about college days and shared stories about our lives now. What amazing friends!
