Winter Jam 2011, Part 2

So to continue my story of our amazing night... where did I leave off?... Oh yes, the performances ending.

When we came out into the foyer, there were tons of people! And since there were not many people in the line for Red, we jumped in. It was so cool to meet them, and I got my cd over signed. I was also very happy for Josh to meet one of his favorite bands ever! I got him a poster for the guys to sign, and so he'll be able to remember this amazing memory! 
Next we were off to see KJ-52. It was really cool so see him out and about talking to fans and taking pictures, rather than sitting behind a table. Kel and I got pictures with him, and were pretty excited.
Kutless was just around the corner. Their newest cd (as of 2009) was $5, so of course, I bought one for them to sign. They have always been a favorite of mine, so that made it really special when I got to talk to the singer, Jon Micah Sumrall for a minute.
Since David Crowder Band was not signing that night, Newsboys were next. And like Kutless, their cd's was $5. Had to get it! Now at this point we were waiting in the loooooong line, and I really wanted to go back to KJ-52's table and get a cd. So my wonderful brother came with me. When we got there, the lady said it was $12, and what are the odds I only had $11. Went back bummed, but were still excited for the night. When we finally got to the table, and handing our cd covers, the australian drummer on the Newsboys, Duncan Phillips, grabbed my hand. He asked me my name, and I told him Brittany. And he said it in his wonderful aussie accent! Then he pointed to Stacy, while still holding my hand, and said "is this beautiful lady with you?" I told him yes this was my aunt Stacy. And he said Stacy in an aussie accent too (she was pretty thrilled). Then Kelsey (standing behind me) shoved her arm through and said "And I'm her sister, Kelsey". He let go of my hand with a laugh and shook hers. It was amazing! When we walked off, Stacy told me she thought she was about to see him propose to me.
As we were walking away, Stacy said she could give me the $1 I need for KJ-52's cd if we wanted to try again. So we did. And as we were talking up, we saw two guys packing up the stuff. Then we relized, it was KJ-52 himself! It was amazing! I asked him if it was to late to get the cd, and he said it wasn't, and he sold it to me himself!!!! AHHHH! And since there was no line of people, he was able to sign it to me, and did a silly face on the front. How cool! He also gave me his pack of 5 Gum. Just the four of us were able to hang out with him and talk to him for a few minutes. It was amazing! What a way to top off the night!!! Could not have ended better than hangin' with KJ! 
When we got back to the car, all of us could not stop saying "Oh my gosh! What a night!" God planned it out Himself, and truly blessed us!
