Anyone who knows me know Keith and I love the show Longmire, this year my friend Brooke and I were determined to make it to Longmire Days in Buffalo. I casually mentioned to Brooke that my favorite actor on the show is "Ferg" so she shows up to my house Friday with a Longmire shirt on that she had made and hands me my shirt. I fully expected our shirts to be matching but when I looked at it, it said, "Ferg-alicious," I busted up laughing and said it was perfect.
The whole 1.5 hour ride up to Buffalo, Keith and I were talking about how excited we were to see the actors. Brooke had gotten us tickets to an autograph session with the actors, when we got there though we quickly realized we were last in a very long line of anxious and excited people. So we bought some Longmire memorabilia and stood around debating if we wanted to wait in a superrr long line. Well....Brooke's genius shirt paid off (and our standing around) because "Ferg's" brother noticed me and my shirt and came over to us and asked to take a picture with us, after he left we looked over at the table of actors again and a few moments later "Ferg" noticed my shirt and his jaw dropped and a big smile formed on his face, he then motioned that he'd be over in a moment (leaving the super long line of people waiting to meet him and get his autograph). After Brooke and I realized he was coming over we started freaking out, when he came up to us I gave him a big hug and we chatted a bit....I remember him saying it was nice to see some "pretty girls" there, asked us where we were from, told me that he loved my shirt and that I made his day, then I told him "no, you made mine," and that he hoped to see us around. Also, when we were taking pictures he pulled out his phone and said he wanted a picture too. I told him he was my favorite and that Branch was Brooke's favorite. He also asked if I wanted anything signed, so he signed a Longmire sticker I bought then he asked if I wanted my shirt signed, so he signed it by the "Ferg." It was kinda surreal, I just love that show. It was so neat to see almost all the cast there.
Afterwards we headed to lunch and Brooke decided to check "Ferg's" instagram and see if he posted the picture, lo and behold, my face was on his instagram! We were so excited!! It pretty much made my day. There were other events the rest of the day and all day Saturday and Sunday--a parade, street dance, kids activities, tea with Ruby, poker run, a concert, auction and more, but most of it was on Saturday and Sunday and we didn't want to drive back up with all the kids again (and it was super hot) so we called it a day after walking around the town and looking at all the vendors. We went to a super cute park along the river and ate lunch then took the long way home through Crazy Woman Canyon (super pretty), then we headed over to Brooke and Jordan's for dinner. A super amazing day!!
