Hello everybody!

So yesterday I posted about meeting Debby, now I am going to post the full story for you guys. I will try and make this as quick as I possibly can, so as not to bore you guys! But here it is.

I entered a contest on Facebook to meet Debby and view a private screening of Jessie ahead of the UK premiere of it. For a whole week I was checking the emails non-stop, until I finally got a call saying I had won! I was very shaky over this and super hyped up. We had to go to London to meet her, which unfortunately is 6 (Depending on traffic) hours away!

So the real Journey started on Saturday at 2:30am. I got up and got ready to go, we left by 3:30am and we were soon off to London! I was really nervous about meeting Debby and my head was spinning with questions I wanted to ask and things I wanted to talk to her about. Ed Sheeran helped calm my nerves for most of the 6 hours though. I also now officially know all the words to “You need me, I don’t need you” haha. (:

After a long journey we finally arrived at the Hotel were we would be meeting Debby. We were waiting in there for around 2 hours, but thankfully it was a big place and a bit of exploration was in order. We discovered many rooms with unique designs and also a cute basket full of baked treats. Finally we went downstairs to the screening room, were we got to watch the 2nd episode of Jessie, then pose questions to her. Only the winners got to ask the questions, so our friends just sat there for a bit while we did that. I was first called to ask my question and I was really nervous, but I got through it and Debby answered the question, we kind of went off topic to fanvideos when she mentioned Private Practice, but we got back on track with the question! Which was “What was your favorite character to play and why?” Hopefully I will find the video were she answers it soon to show y’all!

That was followed by everyone else asking their questions, though I was in a bit of a haze then and could not really pay attention to what they were asking, as I was very excited! Then we got to go down and get things signed by her, have a little chit chat and get our photos taken with her. When I walked up she gave me a big hug, which I was totally not expecting! But it was rad! (: I asked her to sign this notebook and my copy of 16 wishes, she also signed a picture of her from Jessie, and then we had a little question and talk thing. I talked about DebbyHQ for a bit and she thanked me for all the support. Unfortunately this was brief as there were others waiting. So I went back to my seat, when this had all finished we went outside and I was still in this surreal dream state.

My Mum’s BF said that he just saw Debby sitting down in the hotel cafe and I remembered I wanted to get a quick video for the site and that I had so much other stuff to tell her, so my friend convinced me to quickly go and ask her to record this video. I felt a bit rude, but Debby was so friendly and nice about it, she quickly recorded the message and we had another brief talk and hug (I know :O Exciting stuff!). I can honestly say Debby is one of the most raddest people ever! She was so genuine and she seemed genuinely happy to meet me! There was so much I wanted to talk to her about and still want too, but I was still in that haze and was a bit out of it to say the least! She thanked me again for all her support and so did her Mum, who was also super awesome! Her Mum also had a pretty cool accent, which I felt the need to mention to her. They thanked me again and I left with a very big smile.

All in all it was a really awesome day! I am so happy I finally got to meet Debby. I hope another time I will get to meet her again and that I will write down some of the stuff I want to say to her, so I don’t forget again! Haha (:
But yeah, It was amazing and worth the long drive and everything!

I want to thank Debby for being so awesome and a amazing person and inspiration! Keep being you Debbyp.s Come back to England soon. xo.

Anyway, below are some pictures of the event, meeting Debby and autographs! I decided not to upload the picture of me and Debby for privacy reasons, but I uploaded some of me talking to her. Be warned though, they are watermarked!
