so I got to Jackie's last night and she wanted me to watch the movie Inception, which is CRAZY!! and so confusing, but actually pretty good; if that makes sense!! haha!
Then we went to bed in her SUPER comfy bed and woke up this morning to go meet Kristi! I was so nervous, and then the roads were kind of icy and we actually spun on the road. scary! I asked Jackie who was driving "What should we do?" and she was like "Duh, we turn around!" haha!
she then dropped me off at the bookstore The Red Balloon Shop which is a kids book store (Kristi's childrens book is called Dream Big, Little Pig). I got there at 10:00 and she was going to do a reading of her book and answer questions at 10:30 and so we all just waited around and all of the sudden, there she was! she is so cute and tiny. She was wearing black and purple. I just was in shock that we were in the same room. She read the book, which is so cute, and then answered some questions. I asked her if she still skates, and she said not really, but she does miss it! hopefully she skates next year.
Then we proceeded to get called by number to get meet her and get her autograph. I was number 13, so I was up there right away. She was so nice, I did talk to her and told her it was so great to meet her. She was super nice and signed my skating picture that I had brought. I then sat down and just watched her autograph and meet other people. I was just in awe, here is my favorite skater (or one of my favorites!) and we are in the same room together. She did mention to someone that she was going to a St. Thomas hockey game that night for nephew, since her husband is from the twin cities, and I so wanted to go!! haha! :)
after meeting Kristi, I met up with my sister and she took me out for lunch at this yummy pizza place, and then we visited with my uncle for a bit who lives near by, and then I drove home. What a cool event. and what's even better is that she is going to be at Stars on Ice tomorrow signing autographs before the show and during intermission, cool right?? I get to see her two days in a row! :)
Can't wait for Stars on Ice tomorrow, its going to be awesome!! :)
