|

I should know I would fall into the multiple part "poster! Ok guys part 3 I really hope I am writing in a way that you can actually feel and experience it like I did! Ok so Chris had come back and I got Amanda on the phone and I dialed so fast and gave the phone to him I hadn't told her who it was! So Chris was talking to her and she was like so shocked she called me later and had almost dipped her frenchfries in jelly! They had a sweet conversation and then Chris said Jan I have your name on my hand I am like thats ok is it in permanent pen! He said yah I said well you won't forget me he said I wouldn't anyway! Sweet again he then said "can you do me a favor"? I of course said Yes he said you see that little girl over there in the pink? I am looking for sometime so many people hard to see a small person but then I spotted her and he said I can't stay out here any longer and there is alot of people here but I don't want to disappoint her can you get her name? so i go to her she had such a sad face on and i whispered whats your name and she said Alyssa and I said don't worry Chris is going to take care of you! She smiled and hugged me and thought I was the greatest thing I kept telling her mom and aunt its all Chris not me! Then I go back to tell Chris and he writes it down and asks whats her last name! Well heres me "nurse jan" i said oh shoot Chris hold on he laughed back I go and got her last name and another hug ! He thanked me and I told him I can't wait to tell Elsie he goes "aunt elsie" I said yes she wants me to call and let her know how my night went! I said we talk and I love her to pieces ! He was so happy to hear that!
Ok later on in concert I found my seat i was floor in the center 14 back which ended up being 8 back ! When I got in there I was 3 from the center aisle and thinking wow my kids would love this! I immediately met the people in my row also Chris Rich fans and 2 girls (whom I later found out new Kriz) they were in front of me! It was nice to talk they were all shocked that I was there from Az and gave me hugs ! Well then the show started and I won't detail on that cause everyone has and it pretty much went like the others ! I had one of those green finger things you find at baseball games with the Richness done in letters stuck on it and I would hold that up when Chris was on and when he came to that side he would point out! They all did well! Partway thru the show these 2 girls that were in front of me and just a seat over asked if I was jan and I said yes they said Yankeejan and I said Yes and then one said you know my grandma! I immediately realized it was Jen Chris cousin,Elsies granddaughter! They were so sweet to me they shared their camera pics from the last concert and we just hit it off right away! I truely love them like I do Elsie! We decided to go to the after party together! So after show we went to sit in the designated area and called Elsie! Jen was like "you'll never guess whos sitting next to me" and I think Elsie said Chris and Jen said no but someone you know and yep it was me so I talked to Elsie and we were all so excited! I could see the love in Jen's eyes when I talked about her grandma! Then finally we went upstairs and waited and then they let us in! Blake had cruised by on his skateboard then disappeared! The only ones I saw there were Chris of course (thank God) and Phil, Melinda, Gina and Sanjaya! So we went to Chris and He gave us hugs and was happy to see us and of course the crowd was forming so I said Chris I have so much I feel guilty he is like "don't worry we will get through it all" ! So we decided to do it in sections! He signed the shirt (the one that I had made him well the one they messed up on) He is like what are you doing with my shirt? I said " this is the one they messed up on" he laughed well its true! He signed some other things I had then went to sign for others and I went to get Melinda! I was being patient me and Jen says "Jan you will be here all day you have to push your way in" so she called melinda and melinda came over and signed what I had and took pic and when I talked with her Re: amanda she then gave me another hug and said "you my dear are an angel" I love Melinda have from day one so that was a thrill! I wanted to get Phil but Chris called me back to do some more! I did pic of him and Jen and melanie and then Jen called Elsie so Chris could talk it was so sweet! I know it made her day and it warmed my heart to see the closeness in this family! So then a few pics with me (yuck) but Jen insisted and thats when I brought up Yikkety -Yack ! He wanted to know about it ! So I told him what I tell you guys its my way of helping ! I mentioned how I try to bring the youngins and the older members together he was touched! I mentioned our emoticons and how I prefer the (corona with lime) but that I use the and the for Kyro and that its all good! He had said he would check it out for sure and I told him he is welcome to post! I told him that I got Brian to move from beggar to drunk by posting more and he was like "jan these things are crazy but I get it!! I took the pic of course of him holding the sign up for the Richness Youngins and I again apologize if I left anyone out it was not intentional believe me!! I told Kyro this earlier since I am a sweet 43 anyone younger than that is young to me!! Ok then he signs more and I go to get Phil (who just left so I was told) darn I had talked to him on phone in C-ville but wanted to meet him in person! He knows I have his hat though ! Oh well off to Gina my oldest son's favorite! For some reason with Gina I was like starstruck!! I found it hard to talk ! (can you imagine that ?) Oh well I did get her to do what I needed and then she said lets just talk a bit! It wasn't crowded then and I had let everyone go ahead of me and she that! I congratulated her and then chatted about my nursing and her dental hygentist past career! She is one heck of a gal ! Then Jen waved me over CHris was signing and taking pictures! I felt bad for him because someone gave him 4 pages of names to do a shout out and he was like "I can't do this" and she said "you have too" and he said lets put them all together and take a pic and she said "no" Please well ya know Chris he decided to he said ok but fast ! I don't want to put anything negative but I felt it was alot! I said to Chris "Gee I don't feel so bad asking you for all my stuff after that" he laughed and Jen said Jan he knows what your doing! Well then security said "clear out" the other idols had left just Chris and He said to Jen and I you guys are going with me! and Security is like "No they have to go this way" and Chris said "No they are coming with me" so we of course go with him to the elevator and get in and he said "now be prepared there will be like 15 security with us " and he was not kidding! They crammed us in like sardines! I said gee I always wanted to snuggle up to you just not like this! "he laughed" and the security guards with their straight faces made us all laugh harder! When we got off the elevator he was like "lets walk to the car" and security is NO it ends here and Chris is like well someone needs to and security interuppted and said we will make sure there ok! (yah right) ! I started to walk away and Chris said Jan i turned around and he said "one more chris hug" I went and gave him a hug he thanked me for what I am doing for Amanda for his gifts and for trying to mention as many Richness as I could! I then said you know your fans are not just here in the states they span to Denmark and the Phillipines ! He said "denmark" "awesome"! I said yep wil,citrine and idealist all love you too! He gave me a smile and said "jan this makes ME proud" ! And then shared just one more thing which I can't say but I will say He loves the Richness and the jist of it WE need to continue to make him proud!!
My conclusion "he is the man with the Golden Heart" DONE now I got to get ready for work ! On wed look in mem only sec for my "amanda" plan! Sorry this was so long ! I guess its a Super Yankee Novel! _________________

Jan....you have just become my HERO!
i absolutely love you. you said that Chris has a Golden heart but you have it yourself.
you not only showed chris how much you loved him but you also mentioned all of us. anyone that meets him usually just talks about themselves but you took the time to make sure he knew all about us. i am so happy that you even told him about us "youngins" lol
i want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. you are an amazing woman and you definitely deserved every single second you got to spend with HHC.
Loved the review. love you and i am proud to call you my fellow Arizonan haha. if i get to meet you one day, i know for sure that it will be an accomplishment because maybe some of your generosity will rub off on me!
THANK YOU AND CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR AMAZING EXPERIENCE!
wow your novel skills have rubbed off...sorry this was really long _________________ <img src="http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g36/rosha_rox123/roshasiggy-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket">

Awwwwww! <----that's me crying, but just happy tears!
Janice, you have got to be the sweetest, most kind woman in the WORLD! You always go OUT of your way to make people feel welcome and special and I can't describe how proud I am to be a friend of yours. What you are doing for Amanda is the most beautiful thing. I'm glad that Chris got to see your warmth and generosity in person. I can''t WAIT to find out what you've got in store for Amanda and to see the rest of your pictures.
ANd to hear the things that Chris was saying to you about the Richness...it brings a tear to my eye. With all that we've gone through, it makes me feel good to know that Chris KNOWS we're all in this for the right reason. We're here to support and promote HIM and his career. Makes me feel good to know that he wants nothing more than for us to continue what we're doing. I just love that guy! geesh.
Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Sounds like you had a great time!  _________________ *TANT! the THB Prime Minister*

man, jan i can't begin to say how happy i am for you. i'm especially happy because you so deserve it.
do you remember being in chat the night of your first concert? i remember, and you kept saying it was a comedy of errors from beginning to end. anyone would've been seriously bummed but you stayed in good spirits. the thing is, it really was pretty disastrous LOL!
so i'm so glad that everything turned around for you. what kills me is that given your previous run of bad luck, one would think you'd be focused on getting your due. but instead, here you are - talking up a storm about all the other richness peeps, making sweet gestures in our name, planting good thoughts in chris' mind. you're just plain awesome woman!
it's funny how you keep describing these selfless chris moments - caring about the lil girl in pink, standing up to the security tight-asses, worrying about your safety. yet you mention nothing of YOUR selflessness! if i could reach over the computer and hug you, i would LOL.
one last thing .... I said gee I always wanted to snuggle up to you just not like this!
omigod, i'm so totally laughing my ass off. so classic!
p.s. steph also mentioned the 4-page shoutout in her review. man, gotta hand to this guy. he really is nice. _________________

AAARRRGGHH!!!JAN!! AMAZING recap of your wonderful time with Chris. Thank you, thank you thank you for representing the RICHNESS for what we are aiming to be. I truly beleive that after so many positive encounters with other RICHNESS peeps, along with your encounter, Chris firmly believes that we are a worthwhile organization that has aligned themselves with him for nothing but good. THE RICHNESS, reflecting the heart and soul of Chris Richardson!! Darn it, I am so proud right now of THE RICHNESS I could cry  |
