I came to Austin early Thursday evening from Houston to make sure that I would wake up early for the prelims on Friday. I got there around 8 and sat on the first row of benches. I looked out and I spotted Nathan warming up with other Olympians. Needless to say, my day started out great. This was my first time attending a swim meet so it was really interesting.

After the prelims were over, I spotted Nathan before he left and got him to sign my Collective Boyfriend t-shirt. Later on, I went to the finals and had high hopes that I could take a personal picture with him. After finals were over, some girls and I waited at the athletics exit, but it got so crowded that he left through the back door. I was bummed that I didn't get a picture, but I didn't give up. The next morning I woke up extremely early and waited at the athletic entrance. Three hours later, mission accomplished. The wait was worthwhile and now I can't seem to stop looking at the picture I have with him :)

So I brought a friend and we met up with my swimming friends. And school friends met up with us. We had a huge group. We were standing in line for tickets and we see this group of tall guys. We're thinking "Is that them??" One of them had a bright green backpack, so I knew it was Lochte. We ran over there and my friend Haley and I made our cool shirts so we took off our jackets asked them if they liked it and a crowd was there. I could only get a picture with him since he said he had to go.(yet he didn't warm up until more than an hour later).

Lochte stayed and Haley is a huge Lochte fan. She had our crazy shirt on and Lochte glasses so Lochte asked her to be on his instagram. We freaked out. So she's that first girl on instagram and twitter(: she's famous. We watched the meet from the second row. We watched them move from their famous corner and they were hilarious. Haha Lochte took a pic of all the buff famous dudes flexing. HOT. Then we watched them deck change. Awkward. Nathan didn't warm up for a while and he was talking to a friend but looking at me and my poster, and after 3 min I got him to wave. I died inside.

No quality photo for that yet. Sorry my friend has them all. We watched the big race. We went to the lobby to wait. But we didn't know where they would exit. Lochte and Dwyer were in the back but we couldn't find Nathan so we went back inside and he was still there! Him and Grevers changed and went over to where people were waiting. I yelled slightly, Nathan! He came over(: and I asked him to sign my poster!! He read the joke on it. It said, lanelines can't keep us apart and he laughed and I asked if he like it and he said he loved it!!! Haha and he didn't catch a sharpie so Matt said, Come on man, catch that! I said Bye Nathan! and he said Byyeeee! Awkward cause we caught them again outside. Then they headed out the back.
We ran out and I knew where I was going. They were headed for the parking garage. We crossed the street and caught up with them because my friends didn't get good pics the first time. So they got pics with him and Grevers and Ricky. And this was me and Caitlin.

They were laughing so I was like, WHAT DID RICKY DO. haha it was hilarious. I see Ricky everyday at swim practice so I'll try to be friends with him! Then while my friends got pics, I asked Nathan... When you're a doctor, can you fix my knees? What's wrong with your knees? They're injured cause I'm a breaststroker:( Aw we do your exercises before you swim!(something like that) we were gonna wait til their car came out of the garage...but we didn't want to be those kinds of fans. Ricky was giving them a ride and on twitter we found out they had burgers. Successful day for everyone, and everyone met someone new! My swim friends met school friends, we all met this girl Emily, and we all met the men of our dreams!<3

whoahhhhh! LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING!! The meet was AMAZING!!! the first time i saw him he walked right in front of me! i was like nathan? nathan? holy cow! NATHAN!!!! He smiled at me and was like "Ah man i'd like to stay and talk but i have to warm up." WOOOOOOO!! Talk about an adrelanin rush! lol i was freaking out! lol anyways so the meet was going on and Nathan looked over at us and read our posters! After his event we stayed there for like 30 minutes just waiting to get a picture with him... the wait was worth it!! i got to meet Missy Franklin, Ricky Berens & Tyler Clary! Anyways Nathan finally came out and was like "You are the ones with the posters huh?" i was like "Yepp thats us!!" and he was like "Thats so awesome! Thanks for taking the long roadtrip to support me." (btw the roadtrip was six hours long) I felt really bad because i was hogging nathan up! haha i hugged him and was like "IDK if i'll ever be able to let you go." hahaha he was so chill about it! He signed my poster and man i am still shaking! i was soooooooo excited!!! but anyways, Nathan Ghar-jun Adrian if you're reading this THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
