Meeting the waud twins

February 9, 2020

Seeing them again
I heard about the sweetok meet and greet when they first posted about it. Originally I didn't plan on going but days went by and the event was getting closer where o soon enough realized I really miss Jason and Joe and it would be fun to see them again. I brought it up to my mom a couple weeks in advance this time and she said maybe. I continued to ask about it until the day was coming up because I never got a for sure answer.
Prior to this, my cousin had been living with me for a little while and had just went up to her dads for the weekend so she was in Everett Washington - near Jason and Joe - and since the meet and greet was on a Sunday, her and her twin would be coming back hone from their dad's house. The night before, I was talking about it with my dad and he asked who I would want to go with if I were to go again. I told him my cousins - Chelsea and Jenessa - and they were wanting to go anyways. It had sounded like my dad was considering taking me had my cousins not been at their dad's house which bummed me out.
The next day - the day of the meet and greet- I dressed cute cause I had felt like it and ended up going to olympia with my parents while my brother did whatever. I asked my dad if he had been considering taking me and he was. In Olympia my mom took me into the mall and we went shopping and I got a bunch of clothes from hollister (even though we originally went into the mall to get me a wallet for my id and stuff). When we got back I REALLY wanted to go to the meet and greet and so were my cousins. My dad said no then I told my cousin and then I was sad and told my mom (and dad too technically because they were eating lunch at the table) that chelsea was bummed out too because she wanted to go.

We had made a plan that if we were to get to go that my dad and I would meet her, jenessa, and their dad at the outlet mall in auburn where the meet and greet was being held and after the event we were taking them to their home.

My dad ended up saying he'd take me but at that point we were needing to leave the house within 10 minutes. I didn't have much time to gather things that I would have liked to bring (a gift for each of them- notes, fan art, scrunchies {basic}, stuffed animal maybe, etc) but I did bring my merch to get them to sign it. (I forgot my shirt but I brought my hoodie).
I had to pull up directions on my phone to get my dad and I to the outlet mall. We ran into a little bit of traffic but it wasn't too bad. When we got closer I recognized the area from on my way back from FFA state convention from last year. I kept in contact with my cousins to know where they were. My dad and I got to the place before my cousins did and we had about 10 minutes to spare before the event started but by the time my cousins got there, we had like 2 minutes.
When we got in there I honestly thought the line would be longer because of the way that the information given online made it sound. The event seemed to start a couple minutes late but we saw Jaide and mamawaud (Michelle) as we were standing in the line.
When we got up to them, chelsea, jenessa, and I all went up separately and got pictures. I forgot to get them to sign my merch when I went up there the first time and the people in charge made everyone go really fast and then let people get in line more than once to spend more time with the twins.
So the first time I went up to them I had handed my phone to the lady taking pictures and I went and hugged Jason (he gave me a long {ish} hug) and the last got a picture of that, then I hugged Joe (who didn't give that long of a hug/ as long of a hug as Jason) and the lady taking pictures got a picture of that too. When I was hugging Jason he asked my name and I had to repeat it a couple times for him and Joe to hear. I got some pictures with them and we had a small conversation- mostly saying about my merch- they were saying they like it and all😂.  Then I stepped out of the way for other girls to go up to see them and then their mom came up and complimented me on the merch.
The line was open for people to go up again and my cousins went back up to go see them together because my cousins are twins and all so they thought it would be fun for two sets of twins to take a picture together.
Later I went in line again and met two girls (grace and maya) and they were really sweet girls - we added each other on snap and on insta.
When I got back up to the twins, Jason was busy talking to people who were outside of the line so I went up to Joe first and he gave me a longer hug than before. I gave Joe my only pink velvet scrunchie (my other one snapped so I bought a second set of the scrunchies for that specific one so I have two rose gold ones and two lavender ones and I wore the only pink one I had that day and ended up giving it to Joe- also I didn't give one to Jason because I only had two scrunchies on and I didn't want to have none coming back home because that would feel weird on my wrist to not have anything but I feel bad because I want to give him one so I hope I get the chance to eventually) after that I asked Joe to add me on snapchat so he grabbed his phone and I pulled up my snap stuff for him to add me then Jason came over so I asked him to add me too. My name was showing on it of course and my last name is "Moore" and most of y'all probably know Payton moormeier so when Jason and Joe we're adding me they like, looked at each other and Joe said "hannah moormeier" to Jason and they smiled. After that I got a hug from Jason and then I got selfies with each other them. After getting selfies I asked for a pictures (the one at the top) and I began to push my hair back on both sides and was saying "can I get a picture that's like..." and didn't know how to explain it but since my hands were up they started to do the one thing (like the vsco girl thing putting a hand over your face to block it ... idk how to explain it - I hope y'all understand what I mean though) but they did that and I had to try to awkwardly describe what I meant because I didn't know how to but they understood and then I got the picture. Then I made a tiktok with them and I look really awkward in it because I couldn't hear it but then Joe hugged me which I wasn't expecting and yeah. Then I left and had forgotten to get my merch signed - AGAIN! - and my cousin was up getting her phone case signed so I asked Joe to sign my jacket and he did - then I was standing outside the area where pictures were being taken and I called Jason over to sign my merch and then he did.
I tried to get a picture holding their hands like I had done last year but by that time, it had been an hour and a half or so already and I had told my dad I'd be ready to leave so I didn't get the pictures because Joe was too busy but I did get lots of good pictures, I had lots of fun and now have lots of good memories from it and I really hope that when this corona virus stuff is over that I'll have a chance to see Jason and Joe again.
(Also a girl asked joe to her tolo and he said yes and I wish I could have done the same but every time they have a m&g it's the day of or after my schools tolo)
But they are my friends on snap so I can technically message them to ask them to hoco next year (my school doesn't let me do prom as a junior - only seniors - plus corona virus)
After the event I posted pictures on my Instagram and tagged Jason and Joe in it and put the tiktok at the end of it (then put my account on public) and then Joe saw it and liked it - mamawaud also saw and liked the post (Jason didn't sadly) - and Joe posted it on his story and I got like over 300 likes on it and a fan account used one of my pictures in an edit
