About two weeks ago one of my older sisters heard about a contest to go meet Hanson. For all who are NOT familiar of Hanson, they were exactly like the Justin Biebers or Jonas Brothers of the 90’s.

Both of my sisters grew up listening to them and being MORE than obsessed with them. Naturally, me being the youngest of the girls wanted to do everything my bigger sisters did. So I decided that I liked Hanson also. They had already chosen 2 of the 3 band members. Which left me with the oldest of the 3. I used to carry around a poster of him everywhere I went (er so i’m told). Anyways, my sister heard on the radio that there was a contest just about to start. Whoever won, got to go meet and see Hanson with one friend. The contest was to go to the radio stations facebookpage look at their status about Hanson and comment on it. BUT you have to be the person with the most likes in order to win. Trust me, this was not an easy contest. I stayed up late every night to make sure my sister kept the likes coming in. The last night of the contest my sister was neck and neck with her opponent. I was GLUED to the computer screen for 5 1/2 hours straight. They announced the results the next morning… and…

MY SISTER WON!! and guess who she took with her? ME!

They were the sweetest and nicest young men, and not to mention drop dead gorgeous. Though I realize that the above pictures sure don’t do them justice. They are SO much better looking in person. Here’s a HUGE thank you to each person that got us up to 612 likes! We owe each and every one of you something.

Thank you for making my sister’s dream come true!!

We arrived at the radio station a FULL hour before we needed to arrive. So we drove around looking for a bathroom. We went back to the radio station and tried to compose ourselves before we entered. As we were falling to pieces in our car, a white van pulled up. We didn’t think much of it. As we walked to the door, we pretty much put together that that was Hanson. We walked into the lobby and found 2 other girls in the lobby. The radio station had told us that they would be letting the 2 and 3 winners come also with a friend. YEA RIGHT. Right before we were escorted back to meet Hanson we counted 8 girls. All of which were not supposed to be there. When we got back to the room to meet Hanson, guess what we saw? 5 more girls!
We sat down and watched as Hanson warmed up and talked on the air and talked to us in between things. They were absolutely hilarious. Then group by group went up and met hanson, talked with them, touched them and got things signed. It was then, finally our turn. (My other sister that could not come to meet Hanson with us gave us a gift to give them). I walked right up to Hanson and said “Hi! This is a gift for you all from my older sister who could not make it today.” I looked down to try and control my shaking hands as Taylor Hanson took the gift bag from me. They each said hello and hugged me!!
They signed everything we brought and also visited with us. I was just SO shocked I actually was able to speak to them instead of giggle. Though, I’m pretty sure I ignored Zac and Isaac at one point. They all willingly signed this photo of my baby Niece for my sister:

All in all it was a fantasy day. It had some moments I wish I could go back and change but others I wish I could go back and record.
