There's Moore Where That Came From

Just a little recap of last night (because I envision you wide-eyed in suspense)...

Emily and I did indeed travel an hour and a half to arrive 2 and a half hours early to the book signing event :) When I parked the car and we decided it was too early to go in and stand around, we set out again for the Chick-fil-a nearby to get some beverages. [Note: this is the extended recap, as you can see. I'm in a mood] I immediately drove back to the Family Christian for fear that every empty parking space was now taken... only to see that I only had to park one space away from where we were when we first arrived. It was early. So, we went in and browsed some CDs and books and various pieces of art and eventually we got a "letter" so that we would know when we could get in line. We were letter H and our "projected line time" was 6:30 p.m. It was approximately 3:50ish. Soooo... we walked, we stood, we read 3 children's books, and stood some more. All the while it was getting very crowded and quite warm.

Fast-forward a few hours and all of a sudden there is a great shrieking and clapping coming from "the table" in the back corner. Mrs. Moore had arrived!! Everyone is now beyond excited and moving closer and closer to "the table" while the As make their way through the line.

Let's fast-forward again another hour or so and we made it! Now, after waiting all of that time, I can't explain to you how quickly it was over... but it was great fun :) Mrs. Moore was super nice and very open for pictures and chatting if you had a quick story to tell her. The woman didn't even have a chair! She stood the entire time signing away and smiling for every picture. So sweet. She seriously just oozes personality and genuinely seems to care about each person she comes in contact with.

Wait, did I say pictures?

Beth, Emily, and myself

Guess who else we saw?

All-in-all we had a great time. We even got some Chick-fil-a coupons! How random.

I'm all out of news. Nothing of interest took place today. A lot of sitting and staring at this machine and occasionally getting up to go and grab another 7-UP... but other than that, nothing you'd be interested in knowing. So, I'll leave it at that. I hope you all are having a great week, and if you're in the South East, start hunkering down for the "winter weather."

Take care,
