My Crazy and Busy Weekend

Hey everyone!
I hope you each had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Mine was a blast! My whole family ate a big dinner then just sat around and played board games. Good times.
The next morning, I woke up bright and early and headed to LAX with my mom! As we were walking to our terminal, none other than the comic genius BRAD GARRETT walked up to me. YES! Walked up to me!!! I’m not kidding!!! He came over with his two adorable children, Max and Hope, and he told me they were big fans of the show. He said “You are brilliant.” and a couple minutes later he said “You have a very bright future.” I was in shock. I asked for a picture with him and (wait for it…..) he asked for a picture with me!!! So not only is Brad Garrett on MY camera, but I’m on HIS! CRAZY right?! I know you said yes, so I’m gonna say ‘right!’ Anyways, Brad Garrett was literally one of the nicest people I have ever met. He was unbelievably humble, down-to-earth, easy-going, and just so cool. I am a HUGE fan of his, so to meet him in person (and to have him come up to me, nonetheless!!!) was surreal. Wow.
The flight was about 4 hours and then we landed in Chicago! From there, a driver in a really fancy limousine picked my mom and I up and drove us for 2 and a half hours until we got to Peoria, Illinois! On the ride, I replied back to lots of my SayNow phone calls! SayNow is a great company where you can call me… my number is (323) 622-8587!!!
Once there in Peoria, I signed autographs for about 4 hours. Thousands of kids were there, lined up. I couldn’t believe it. It was such an amazing experience. One of the guys in charge told me that some kids had been waiting since 1 o’clock in the morning!!! And they brought tents! That was beyond touching to hear. Each and every person that came up to meet me was so kind and great!
From Peoria, our driver took us for a 3 hour ride to Rockford. It was a long drive and I couldn’t fall asleep cuz I’m not so great when it comes to falling asleep while being in cars or airplanes! But the driver had some really fantastic radio station on, so I was rocking out to the songs with my mom! We had a blast!!
The next afternoon, my mom and I were picked up and driven to a cool arena in Rockford! I signed autographs for about 4 hours there (so about the same as in Peoria). Once again, every person who I met was so sweet. It’s especially touching when kids give me drawings or letters or poems or sweet little gifts that they’ve made for me. It makes me so happy to meet these people who spend THEIR time watching the show!
Early the next day (yesterday), our driver took us back to the Chicago airport and we headed home! Back to work today. . VICTORIA JUSTICE is guest starring! She’s such a kind, kind person, and so is her mom! They are really a wonderful family. We’re gonna have a blast this episode!!
Well, I’ve written quite a few paragraphs so I’d best be off. Tell me how your Thanksgiving was! What’d you do? What’d you eat?! Are you excited it’s December 1st?!?! I know I am!
’Til next Monday, ~ Jennette
P.S. Since we’ve been on a roll talking about David Archuleta’s CD, did you know that David wrote “A Little Too Not Over You?!” I didn’t know this until today, so I thought I’d share that little tidbit with you! Cool!!!
