The line for his autograph and picture was around 150 people long, too long for someone like my dad. Shawn was excepeciently cute tonight. He had his reading glasses on with a leather jacket. So hot! My dad had some connections and he could get me in to personally meet him and talk to him and that's exacly what happened. Shawn was scheduled to drop the puck for the hockey game, which by the way was kind of funny, so we waited for him to come down.
When he did, I almost fainted just looking at him. He shook my dad's hand and I slightly held out my hand then he shook it as well, and I think he thought that I was a little weird cause I just stared at him with my mouth wide open. I asked him to sign my HBK shirt, and my dad told him that I hoped he would "beat Triple K.. H" he messed up the name and called himself a loser later. Oh and Shawn said he's gonna kick his butt. My dad said that we shared his faith and he said that's good to know, that's the most important thing.
Now see I have a tradition when I meet celebrites, especially with ones that I really like. After he's done the autograph I ask for a hug, and he gave me one (I must say he's has the softest skin ever). I was on cloud 9 the whole night after that
One last thing, while we were leaving he turned to us and said, "Make sure you always stand up for your faith, don't let other people tell you it's not cool." Coming from him that meant a lot to me because that's really been a tough part of my life, when it comes to people making fun of me for my faith.
I'm really hoping I can meet him again someday, and give him another hug, lol!
