Top Ten Throwbacks #6

If you've missed a week, let me catch you up! Sometimes I peruse through my really old blog posts, looking for something I need. And upon occasion, I find gems of things that I feel need to be revisited, but I never know quite how to do it. So I decided to pick my top ten favorite things I either wanted to talk about again or I wanted to introduce you to (since some of you might not have been here that many years ago) and I'm featuring them as a fun little summer thing. I did the first five last week, and now I have five more for you!

The one I shared on Friday was a virtual vacation to Hershey, Pennsylvania (taken nine years ago, before Ryan, and as my first official grown-up vacation). So if you missed that and need some chocolate or road trip fun in your life, take a look-see!

Today's pick came from early 2010, and I'd forgotten all about it until I re-read the post. (You can read the post in its entirety here, and I assure you it's worth the giggle.)

The synopsis of the post was that I had commented on a post Beth Moore (yes, the Beth Moore) had written on her blog, and then I discovered she'd written a follow-up post where she listed the top ten things she'd learned in the comments from the previous post. And she actually quoted me in her top ten list.

It was as though I had just been handed a million dollars. Beth Moore had read my words and put them in her top ten list.

There was no one at home to properly appreciate my flitting and fluttering about the house, squealing in delight, which is really a pity, now that I think about it.

But while that is a great story on its own, I have to say that I'm just really kind of a ridiculous fangirl all the way around. I've been known to be just flat out stupid sometimes when I run into people I adore more than I should.

I've had several moments I should be embarrassed about when meeting and remeeting David Phelps. I've developed stutters, heart palpitations, and all sorts other ailments and conditions in his meet and greet lines. And the time I saw him in concert and came home to make this photo my profile picture, someone actually asked me who the lucky guy was and said I was absolutely glowing. I changed the picture, because I felt kind of bad about that.

There was also a night when I met another of my southern gospel favorites and I was actually rendered speechless in his line. Words came out in short breaths, none of them connected by words that are supposed to connect other words into sentences. So embarrassing. I ran into him out shopping the next day and actually had to sit down because I was so overcome.

Why am I telling you all this? I want you to think I'm normal! :)

So these are some of my best ridiculous fangirl moments. Please tell me you have some of your own. Or that you would have one if you could just meet (fill in the blank).
