Hey everyone…..
This is Jordan Strang on Bethany's account!
So I have to ask you Tori, when did I meet you?! I talked with so many people over the weekend that I'm losing a few conversations! ;)

EDIT: Neat to see all you guys there!

After the movie, in the events center hallway. I introduced myself and asked if you could sign my book, and you asked if I was on Quizlet. :D (I'm VictoriaKuz on there, btw.)

That I did, and you didna recognize me!

George Washington??? Who dat?

The prez

You met the pretzel??? WOWOWOW :P

And boy, she was a hot pretzel!

Uh oh…

Very cute too. You might have seen her. She was wearing cinnamon and sugar

Okay…. I ttly remember now!!!! haha!

What about me Noah? The guy you played ping-pong with?? :)

And BTW, you know very well you spelled Hannah's name wrong.

Hey Jordan, would you mind sharing how you managed to get to semis? Any study tricks we need to know? :D

yeah… I don't mind! But it might take me a little while to get anything written up if you don't mind! ;)

I met:
Evie E.
SteFani L.
Carissa P.
SavedbyGrace (sort of; we discussed health and weather)
Astronomer Leah

Those are the only memverse users I can remember after thinking about it for almost a week.
As a whole, I think I was quite successful in not meeting people.
I also successfully avoided waving my hands in the air both times they made the suggestion.
One year to survive the Bible Bee left!

Carissa or Bethany - did you guys meet Janae Orluck by chance? I think one of you would have been sitting by her…

I did not meet her. Bethany did though. But I did meet the H's :)

Hey Ashley, we managed to avoid meeting each other!

Hey Tori K. I had no idea when I met you that you were on memverse! I just figured it out that you are the same person. It was great meeting you!

I don't really.
I just happen to be really shy toward people I don't know very well, so I never go up and introduce myself to people, even if I know them from online. Besides, Ashley threatened making me wave my hands in the air like crazy if we met, so there was some method to my madness there!

hi Ashley,
it's Morganthal :) I just realized I forgot to add you to my list of who I met at nationals… also, so sorry I haven't emailed you, I will soon! :)

Bella…I know you gave me your email address but I lost it. I was wanting to email you but since I can't find your email I can't. Would you mind writing me an email…click on my name and it's on my page.

You didn't? Haha I knew you! ;)

I met Matthew, Noah, Zachary, Carissa, Bethany, Danielle, Jarrett, David, Jordan, and I might edit this later on if I think of more.

I'm not sure if this post if for people you met that you already knew at Nats, or just people you met for the first time, so I'm going to go with everybody I talked with:) (that I can remember:) get ready for a long list in no particular order:)

I apologize if I left anyone out:)

You left me out!

Wait… I didn't meet you.

Never mind.

I really wish I could have met you. I'm so sorry, I really wanted to meet you and your family especially since you live on the west coast, and know Madi. I guess I'll have to try meets you on this side of America:) do you go to the Christian Heritage Conference?

I wish I could have met you. I saw you like three or four times… lol

Ah! I wanted to meet you so bad! I was looking for you but I wasn't sure who you where. :P I read so many name tags those four days my head was like spinning lol.

I know, you just can't meet everybody (I especially can't, since neither Sarah or I are at all out going and we are the only ones who ever qualify).
Yes we do come to the Christian Heritage Conference, though last year I had shingles, so I could not come.
Do you know if they will have a Bible Bee Booth and the conference this year?

@Elanee: WOW - that is A LOT of people that you met. I didn't meet even close to that many (unfortunately). Btw, it was so exciting to actually meet you!! I enjoyed our conversation….and learning that our family has always pronounced your name wrong. :D lol

Let's see…I met (and re-met some/many of these):
Emily H.
Stefani L.
Dani and Rachel M.
Hannah W.
Elanee and Evan S.
Matthew and Courtney M.
Danielle L. (and her brother, so sorry, can't remember his name)
Noah C.
Anna M.
Jordan S.
All of the P. family
Hannah del Toro
Jarrett C. (I saw Everett many times, but never actually talked to him…)
Annalysa C.
Leah B.
Elizabeth and Andrew A. (and their mom :)
Zachary B. (and his parents and sister - in some very funny ways…)
Natalee A. (and her parents)
Olivia D.
Rachel and Elissa M. (technically, since I played Dutch Blitz with them :)
Katrina B.
Heidi Floyd
Bethany X.

Wow - that's a lot more than I thought.
I'm sure there were others that I met, and either can't remember presently or… didn't realize who they were. And I also saw a bunch, but didn't really talk to them (sorry, to those of you who are in this group - such as Margaret and Sarah Eddy)

So how DO you pronounce Elanee's last name? :P

LOL It's actually Elanee's first name that our family has always said wrong. We thought it was pronounced like 'Ella-nee', but she told me that they're pronounciation is like 'Elo-nee' (short 'o'). Do I have that right, Elanee? :)

lol my brother's name is Josh. :P :)

Yes that's right Rosie:) I'm glad you remembered. Most people forget after the first time they hear it.
@ Hannah, our last name is pronounced Sm- eye-th. it's like smith with an e but pronounced differently:)
And BTW my name is so unique that I am the only results when you do a google web search of my name…. Pretty scary:)

I'm not sure if there will be a Bible Bee booth or not. Our Oregon hosts did the booth, so I will have to ask them if they're doing it again or not!

@Bella: Thanks, I wasn't sure if it was you or not! :) Don't worry about the email, we all get busy and trust me, there will be no shortage of times when I get to repay you the honor of taking awhile to email back. So, no worries! :)

no i dont……i would recognize him in a picture though…

Might have been Zachary Zinda…

Hey Matthew, just wondering, did you see me? I saw you multiple times, I was just too shy to say hi, kinda like Jordan Strang, I sat beside him during the Celebration Ceremony, yet never met him! :P

I probably did see you, but I don't remember any specific instances. :P
