Meeting Mr. Murray


So I don’t even know where to begin on how amazing yesterday truly was. It will FOREVER be in my heart & mind as ONE OF THE BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE. Meeting Chad Michael Murray was truly life changing. Of all the AMAZING moments that have happened in my life. Somehow amazingly they all lead back to ONE TREE HILL. So hears how my day started. I hadn’t slept the night before, so I was pretty much already up that morning. I wasn’t sure what time I should get there, so I wanted a good spot so I went 3 hours ahead of time. I ended up getting there around 8:45...no one was there. Which I loved, because “I WAS FIRST IN LINE”.




 But the person who drove me didn’t want me staying outside alone, so we took the dog for a walk & came back like 15 to 20 minutes later. I came back & someone was in line, & somehow I was ok with being second in line. She was there with her daughters. We instantly started taking & she made the wait go by so fast. Then more & more people came & the excitment grew & grew. People would walk by & ask what are you guys waiting for & each time we’d all say CHAD MICHAEL MURRAY at the same time. Granted most had no clue who that was. The wait continued & continued & somehow I wasn’t nervous at all. I was just so ready to meet the man that had been the man of my dreams since I was 10. He’s been my favorite actor for 12 years now, & I have enjoyed watching him grow into this AMAZING, beautifully KIND HEARTED MAN. The heart he truly has is BIG & what he does for all of us is truly tremendous. I just wanted it to be 12 so I could finally meet him.  So some girls, went to the corner where his car would pull up & saw him drive to the back. We heard screams so we knew he was there. He arrived around 11:28 & we all got a rush of excitment. This was really HAPPENING. He even drove himself there, which truly shows what kind of a man he is. SO extremely real & geniuene. Then Donald came with the books. And then it all set in....that in just a little bit, DREAMS were going to be made. So then Kenzie comes out with post its so that Chad knows how to spell our names. I can honeslty say She is extremley gorgeous & so sweet. I got my picture with her, which was pretty amazing. She does An amazing EVERLAST blog. You should check it out.http://everlastsaves.blogspot.com/



 Chad is very lucky, as is she. So then the comic store owner comes out & says he’s here & he’s early so we’re probably going to start pretty soon. While I was talking to Kenzie, CHAD comes out the front door, like a foot away from me.....my heart seriously sunk. He said thanks for coming guys, we’re going to start soon, CHEERS. I swear his voice as LUCAS is so dreamy on tv, but in REAL LIFE, ITS EVERYTHING & THENSOME. So my heart starts to piter patter & the reality of it all starts to sink in.








 Then maybe 10 minutes later he comes out again nonchalantly & crosses the street. We’re all like where is he going & he goes to take a picture of the fans in line. How cute & awesome is that. He was wearing glasses which he looks super cute in. He went back in & the wait continued. Not for long though, because then we were in. He was so friendly & nice & told us all walking in, thanks so much for coming. He started signing for the first person & then he goes, so I KNOW ONE OF YOU IS RIVERCOURTSML......................KILL ME NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I proudly raised my hand & said me. He said its so nice to put a face to the name. My heart sunk. He knew who I was!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then it was my turn... He grab my hand & put both on mine & said its a pleasure to finally meet you. 
The rest is a blur lol. NO then I told him how truly thankful I am for everything he does, not just for me, but for all of his fans. I told him how grateful & honored I was for him helping with my birthday wish back in August. I just told him how I felt & he truly listened & cared.



Everyone on twitter wanted me to tell him they said hi, so I told him that too, & he loves you all so much. But then I asked him if he would make a video. He was so cool about it & he wanted to. SO i’m taking the video & then he grabs MY PHONE & puts me in the video with him. I will have that video to cherish for the rest of my life. That was truly amazing. I was thinking of getting a new phone case, but not now....
So you are allowed to have the book signed & one other thing, so I brought, the first season music cd cover, which already had Soph & Joy. He’s like man, this is already signed. The only one left is Hilarie, which if it happens, it happens, if not, thats ok too. Then we took a picture, & he thanked me for coming & he grabbed my hand again, not like a hand shake, but a gentle, caring touch. He was truly one of the most REAL celebrities I have ever met. I have always DREAMED of going to Wilmington, but to be honest, this meant so much more, because it was in my CITY BY THE BAY. All of my ONE TREE HILL memories, have been here. Back in 2005 I met Sophia, Bethany, Tyler, & Lee at the ONE TREE HILL TOUR in SF. Then in 2008, I met James at the Macy’s Downtown. And finally I met Sophia again at the SF marathon, this past July. So for some people they think they’re dreams of meeting the cast only happens in Wilmington, I’m proof it can HAPPEN ANYWHERE. Hold onto your dream of meeting your favorite stars. It can happen :)
Meeting Chad is going to be something I will always keep close in my heart. If you have a chance to meet him, please do, because he might just change your life,
he changed mine. I promise you he will truly rock your world with his amazing humble & kind loving ways.
 Thank you Chad for making my Dreams come true. Just because you left OTH, doesn’t mean I will stop supporting you (been supporting you & all that you do)....I will follow your AMAZING journey where ever it takes us. Thanks again for yesterday & making MY DREAMS COME TRUE. Please have safe travels....look forward to seeing what comes next. CHEERS MUCH LOVE <3
ALL MY LOVE, KRISTIN <3 RIVERCOURTSML

  1. hey there :-)
    wow - this is a really great thing! Nice to read how you enjoyed this wonderful thing :-) I also wanted to meet the Cast of OTH, and also especially Chad, not only for his portraying of Lucas but also for his personality.
    Unfortunately I live in Germany and haven't had the chance of going to Wilmington.
    Today, my copy of EVERLAST arrived - signed by Chad - and I am so happy I got to read it over the christmas holidays :-)

    so thats all for now - so happy for you to have that experience

    Greetings from Germany
