We got to meet Brian McKnight!

Steve and I headed up to Columbia, SC on Friday to attend his 20 year high school reunion. As we were checking into our hotel we ran into Brian McKnight! Steve and I are big fans of his! It was almost 1am, we had been driving for well over 7 hours but OMG - I was absolutely giddy! I took our bags up to the room while Steve parked the car. When he came up to the room he said Brian was hanging out in the lobby. I asked him if he was going to take the luggage cart all the way back to the lobby...his response was "hell, yeah!" LOL! So we took the cart back down and then kept nudging each other to go up to him...then chickened out and rode the elevator back up to the 6th floor but when the doors opened Steve said there was no way we could pass up this chance so he hit the #1 and we went back down. LOL! I am sure anyone watching would have thought us hysterical!

I will be forever grateful to my husband for walking over to Brian McKnight and saying hello. Brian was so very nice, extremely gracious with his time and seemed quite humble. He was surprised when I told him my favorite song of his is "I Belong to You". It is not one of his more popular tunes that was played on the radio - it is a beautiful song though. I honestly don't even remember what words were really spoken but I remember my whole body just shaking and me trying to just keep my hand still as we were shaking hands. I am pretty sure I may have even jumped up and down right before he agreed to take a picture with us! LOL!

The picture is definitely not one of my greatest looks but again, it WAS after 1am and we HAD been driving for over 7 hours...Steve and Brian look great though! I was still so giddy after this...I was pretty much bouncing off the walls until well after 3am! LOL!
