Crazy Thursday night...

I just LOVE living in this town! Let me set the picture. My regional manager, Mary Stewart, worked with me Wednesday, Thursday and Friday last week and we had a good time. The whole time we rode together, all she talked about was how cool it would be if we saw one of the characters from One Tree Hill. They are currently filming for the fall season. I've watched the show a couple of times, but I was familiar with Chad Michael Murray because he played in Freaky Friday and A Cinderella Story. Sure, of course it would be cool to see one of the characters. Its not often that you have that opportunity. Anyway, we went to dinner Wednesday night towards Wrightsville Beach and had a relaxing night. We split appetizers and had a couple of drinks. We were pretty tired, so we called it a night.

Thursday we made our two tales in Beulaville and called it a day. Mary Stewart wanted to go downtown for dinner. So, Brian and I met her around 6:30pm at Elijahs and had dinner and drinks. The food was wonderful and the drinks were even better. The restaurant closed at 10:00pm and we weren't ready to call it a night. We asked the bartender where a good place to go and he said The Reel Cafe. So we walked there and sat outside and ordered drinks. They had a band playing and the weather felt so good. After being there for about 30 minutes, I had to go to the bathroom. So, I went up stairs and did my business and when I walked out, I saw this guy with a Reggie Bush jersey on leaning against the wall talking to someone. When I walked out, I looked his way and we locked eyes and low-in-behold it was Chad Michael Murray. My face went blank and I was going to ask if that was him, but all I could say was hey. He said "how's it going" and I walked downstairs....actually rushed down the stairs to tell Mary Stewart. She liked to have DIED! She walked to the bathroom and when she was walking up, he was coming down. She was flipping out. I wouldn't have acted crazy if she hadn't been talking about it the whole entire time. When she came back outside, she wanted me to go inside to the bar with her. I really didn't want to because of the dumb ass look I had on my face. To be nice, I did. We go inside and sat at the bar and ordered a drink. I told her to go ask for a picture, but she didn't want to. She pulled out her phone and took a picture while they were getting up to leave. They walked out and this guy comes over and asked if she got a pic. She said yes and he said that we should have asked and would have taken one with us. He said he worked on the production of Once Tree Hill and said they go out all the time. So, next time I see them out to ask for a pic. Anyway, it was pretty exciting and he's so cute. Brian thought we were crazy. Like I said, I wouldn't have acted nutty if Mary Stewart hadn't talked about it so much. It was definitely an awesome night.
