Who did you meet at Nationals?

Okay guys - this is the place where you can tell everyone who you met at Nationals!!!!!!!!! :)

I met Emily Hamilton, Carissa & Bethany Pentimone, the Minica Family, Hannah del Toro, Rachel Crosswhite (Jesus-Paid-It-All), the Alexander Family and a few others. I saw some people that I recognized but didn't actually meet. We were so busy but it was great meeting all of you and to whomever I did not meet, all I have to say is…MAYBE NEXT YEAR! :)

Well, as you said, I met you, and I also met Zachary Baas, saw the Leonards (and competed with Kerestel Leonard in the Semifinals!), Hannah del Toro, (with whom I also competed in the Semifinals), the Pentimones, the Minicas, Emily Hamilton, and a few others not on Memverse that I met last year. I also saw Rachel Crosswhite, but never talked to her. Very glad to meet all of you!

P.S. @BBJ12–As I forgot to tell you yesterday, happy late thirteenth birthday!! Are you going to change your username? :)

Oh yeah! :) I totally forgot - thanks for reminding me. :) I would have remembered after a few weeks…maybe. LOL I met Shiri Leonard (I worked with her on the practice tests) but didn't talk to the others.

I met Matthew Minica and saw Courtney and Zach Baas, but didn't talk with them. And since SBG says he was in semi-finals, I must've seen him too, although his identity continues to elude me ;)

I've met the Mieczkowskis and Nina Cammilone in previous years, but it was cool to see them again, too.

I met:

The Alexanders
The Vredevoogds
The Leonards
Rachel Crosswhite
The Chews

I also met the Bates, who have 19 kids and are the Duggars' best friends, and I met David and Priscilla Waller; Mrs. Waller is Anna Duggar's sister. :)

and MANY more whose names elude me presently

I saw you there, Zachary, but I don't know if you recognized me. I stood next to you during the opening ceremony…the one who was quite impatient. :) LOL

@Sarah B. - he was right after Audrey Alessio.

Wait - now I remember you!

EDIT: Oh, I also met God's Bondslave. And I saw Laura Hedstrom, but I did not get to talk to her (But what's funny is that I sat right behind her during the Senior finals). :)

Hey there, GMOV!

Um, hi there! :)

@Sarah B–As BBJ12 pretty much said, I am Nicolas Alexander (Ya know, the one who messed up in the second round? :P). :)

I remember meeting or re-meeting some or all of these families or individuals: the Alexanders, the Michkowskis, the Waters family, Emily Hamilton, Hannah del Toro, the Sinnis, the Mincas, the Martins, the P……..s, the Adams family, the Chews, Luke Griffin, the Matthews, Zachary Bass, Rachel Crosswite, the Leonards, the Learys, the Lehmans as well as many other fantastic people. I had a wonderful time!

Aw, I'm really sad and embarrassed now that I didn't meet more of you 'Memverse friends'!!:(( The only ones I met that used Memverse that I know of were Matthew Minica, one of the Mieczkowskis, and Zachary Baas (and even then I met Zachary at the Bate's church:)! Hopefully I'll do better if my brother makes it back next year:)

I find it funny actually how many people from Memverse i met this year even though i wasn't really trying to.
Sarah Johnston
Elizabeth Ledford
Matthew Minica
Thomas Youngman
Nicolas Alexander
Kerestel Leonard
Jarrett Chew

There are actually quite a few others that i talked too, but techinically didn't meet (you know that odd thing where eveybody kinda knows everyone, yet nobody really knows anyone.)

Wow, this list looks kind of sad. I guess is should have tried harder to meet people.

Hello All! Wow…I haven't commented on here in forever! Whew…Nationals was a lot of fun (I can't even explain how much fun it was!). I got to talk with lots of friends, and make new ones, but didn't get to talk with everyone I hoped to. So, these are the ones I actually did get to meet:

The Alexander Family
The Minica Family
The Mieczkowski Family
The Leonard Family
Nina Camillone
Sarah Johnston
Hannah Leary
Hannah and Febah Matthew
Thomas Youngman
Ryan Sinni
Jimmy Waters
BibleBeeJunior13
The Chew Family
Emily Hamilton

I saw Nathan Burkhalter, but never had the chance to meet him…I just kept so busy with other things!

P.S. If any of you all have pictures with either me or any of my family, would you mind e-mailing them to me? Thanks!

It might be a shorter list if I say who I didn't meet or see again. =D

LOL

BTW, they put up family pictures at this link - http://photoshop.biblebee.org/ !!!

So excited to look through the pictures! Missing all my friends…

hmmm that biblebee logo just does not look good

they don't have our picture too!!

@Hans - are you Hannah Cassidy? If so, I met you. :)

@his servant - what is your name?

does anyone have someone else's photos as their own? Our pictures are messed up. :(

Yeah, I'm Hannah Cassidy!! I really should change my username..Who are you?:) We probably stood next to each other in the processional:) Oh, and my family's picture is messed up too! I sent the BB a note to let them know.

My name is Bethany P…….. (we don't want our last name up) Yes, we did meet at Nationals - it was lots of fun finally getting to meet you in person!

Ok, I think I know your name but I can't picture you! Sorry! I probably asked for your signature at the Dessert Social:)

Actually, Hannah, i'm a Junior and we met at the "finish line". :)

Bethany P…….. are you a senior? Because I think I know who you are. :) This is like 20 questions. :)

Ok, I'm confused now..I by mistake replied to "His Servant" instead of "BibleBeeJunior13"!! It's kind of hard to keep track of who's talking to who, I guess! :P So, yeah, I have no clue if I met "His Servant" at the Dessert Social or not!:))

I am Sarah Johnston. I met Bethany P, Luke Griffin, and Hannah Leary… I already knew the Minicas. :)
I met a few other kids that I don't think are on Memverse, and I saw Nicolas Alexander and Zachary Baas, I think… :)
Nationals was a ton of fun!! I am sooo glad I had the opportunity to go and meet new friends!

@I'm4given–You might want to change Bethany's last name to "P…….." instead of what it is at the moment. As she said, she'd rather not have her last name displayed on the Internet. Thanks. :)

OOps! I forgot to put that I met Sarah Johnston! I wished that I could have talked with you more, Sarah…where you at the dessert reception? I looked for you all over, but couldn't find you…

@BibleBeeJunior13 - Yes, we did meet, and you signed my book for me :)

@Hannah C. - I don't remember meeting you…though, maybe we did meet, and I just don't remember.

Okay - I figured out who you are! :)

Ok. That's right, now I remember her.

@HisServant - I wanted to talk to you more, too! I didn't really go to the dessert reception. We were at the back of the line and I have a few little siblings who were pretty tired. :) My email is on my profile if you would like to stay in touch, though! :)

I'm overjoyed! I'm about to send an e-mail your way :) :)

Great meeting you all!

Yup, my name is Annalysa. :) It was great to meet you all. I didn't meet all of you but I wish I had. :( Next year? :)

Did you make it in any previous years?

I saw a bunch of Memverse "Friends" but never said hi, except for SBG and his family. Btw: I'm sorry about how we met…………friends! See, I wanted to say hi but I was afraid you would have no idea who I was and you would think I was weird! But my friends kinda pushed me into it! :) I thought it was so cool when they called your name wrong then corrected it! :) I saw you light up then smile and shake your head. :D

@BibleBeeJunior13: We do not have any mistakes on our pictures but there were several mistakes. You should ask the Bible Bee headquarters to fix it.

What mistakes where made? What is your last name? :)

The pictures are fixed. The pictures were put up so that about 7 families accedientally got the pictures of one family. But they are fixed now :D
