Oh my freaking gosh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok... I just have to tell you guys that this has been the third best day of my life!!!!!!!!!!!!  I went to see Jason Dohring at the BMW Charity Pro-Am Golf Tournament today and I just have to tell you about it.....  It's the greatest!!!!!!!  *insert fangirl squee here*



Let me just start off by saying that Jason Dohring is a class act all the way.  He deserves every great thing that happens to him and I wish him nothing but the best of luck.  He is incredibly gracious and appreciative.  It's nice to know that there is an actor in Hollywood like him.  It truly restores my faith in humanity.

And let me also say that my husband deserves so much more than just a 'husband of the year' award.  He is truly the most awesome man I have ever met and I am reminded every day how much I love him.

Disclaimer:  Being with JD resorted me to a fifteen year old giggling, blushing schoolgirl in a thirty-three year olds body.  I am normally calm, collected and in charge of all my faculties.

Now... on with the fangirl squees!!


We got the tournament about 8:00am and JD was supposed to  tee off at 9:00am so I figured he would probably be at either the practice range or the practice putting green around 8:30.  So we went to the clubhouse and at breakfast.

On the way back from breakfast I spotted him standing next to a golf cart from about 100 yards away.  I just knew it was him even though he was facing the other direction because of the way he was standing.  I told my husband (who's name is Jason, also) "Look, Look... there he is!  I know it's him, I know it is."  Sure enough it was him.  He was talking to someone so we waited to see where he would go.  He got in a cart and went to the practice range and we followed and I got in position for some great photos (which I will post Monday or Tuesday when I get back)!

He then went up to the practice putting green and we of course followed, where again I got some great photos... probably the best in the bunch except those of he and I (coming soon)!  He teed off at 9:00am with two pro-players and one other amateur player (not a celeb).  We started following him around the course... his security dude keeping a close eye on us.  I guess he just wanted to make sure that I wasn't going to run up and tackle Jason or something, LOL!  Imagine my surprise when I realized that we were the only fans following Jason!!!  (Catherine Bell was in the group behind him and she had a pretty large group following her).

At hole #2 (I think),  Jason turned and smiled at me and then whispered something to his security guy (who's name is Tim) and then Tim came over to ask us if we had any sunblock he could borrow.  Unfortunately we didn't ( I didn't think I would need any) but I asked Tim if he wanted me to see if I could find any and he said "That would be great."  So off I went in search of sunblock.  I borrowed some off one of the older ladies following Catherine Bell who was one hole behind us.  I then ran it back (it's a pretty good ways) to Tim who then gave it to Jason.  After he used it, I returned it to the lady and took a picture, LOL!!!  I wish it would have been mine so I could have kept it.

Well needless to say, Jason was very appreciative and from then on it was a fangirl dream come true!!  He waved at me and then walked with me from hole 3 to hole 4.  He told me how nice it was that I did that and I was like "It's really not a big deal."  ( You know, because for him it's not but I probably would have done it for anyone.)  After hole three, Tim asked me if I would like an autograph or my pic taken with Jason and I was like... "Heck, yes!!!!!"  So my husband took Jason and I's picture!!!!!!!!  At this point I'm on cloud nine!!!!

After that he talked to me and my Jason a lot; between hits, between holes, anytime we had to walk for a while.  We talked about normal stuff like where I lived and what kind of sports I liked, where I went to college, if we played golf, etc.  He was sooooooooo nice!!!  I can't even begin to tell you how nice he was.  I think I was blushing the whole time I talked to him!!!!  He talked a lot to my husband, too, which was awesome.

His security guard was so nice, too.  He would ask us all the time if we wanted water or anything and would bring us bottles of water from the players coolers.  He talked to us a lot, too, especially my Jason.  Even the other amateur's caddy let me drive the cart some when I wasn't walking and talking to Jason!! 

After all eighteen holes we went back to the clubhouse for lunch where I thanked him for letting us follow him around all day.  He told me that he appreciated us coming and that he was flattered that we came all that way just for him (as if!)  He shook my hand again and told me and my Jason that it was nice meeting us and he hoped to see us again.  *squeeeeeeeeeeeee*

So eight hours of looking at and talking to Jason Dohring, needless to say, has made my whole entire year, plus some!!  Oh and did I mention that this was one of the greatest days of my life, LOL!!!!!  I don't think I'll come down from this high for days!!!

Anyways, just wanted to share with you guys.  You are the only ones who truly understand how awesome this is!!!!!  That's why I love you so much!!!

I promise I will post pictures very soon.  I have to upload all them to photobucket and stuff.

*smiling ear to ear*

Do you get to go see him tomorrow as well or just today??

Also random question..but was anyone using GPS finders during the game? I heard they're allowed in competition play now! :)

No, unfortunately just today. We are going to the Nascar All-Star race tomorrow... my husband's idea. I guess a consolation prize for him getting dragged around all day. Of course he had fun, too. He was really impressed, too, at what a nice guy Jason was. In fact Jason was asking him questions about the Nascar race.

I didn't see anyone using them. The pros in Jason's group didn't use them but that doesn't mean that someone else didn't. We could have used one, though. Jason sliced it once pretty bad (one of the only bad shots he made all day) and we waited around for about 10 minutes while they tried to find the ball, LOL!

Wow, it sounds like a fanfic!! Way too good to be true. But I believe you. What a great day for you--your very own brush with fame. Everyone always says how nice he is and appreciative of his fans, and what you say totally supports that.

Hmmmm... fanfic about how Jason sees me at the golf course and secretly is in love with me... that sounds like a good one, LOL!!!

It's funny because I'm really not usually 'star-stuck.' I live in Nashville, TN and I'm constantly running into country music stars and such but I don't pay them any attention. But this... this was incredible. And the best part was we just had normal conversations! I didn't even talk to him about the shows he was in or anything. It was surreal!! But glad it was real!!! Can you tell I'm still excited, LOL!

OMG! I don't know how you are composed enough to write that. I am giggling so hard as I read your post because I think I would of been the same way. And you're right, JDoh fangirls are the only ones that can appreciate how awesome this is.

Can't wait for the pics.

I'm just wondering, did you ask Jason if you could APPLY the sunscreen too? ::squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee::

You should see the perma-grin I have on my face!! I don't know if I'll ever get rid of it!! I was just so excited about what happened today that I just had to share right away.

The first couple of times I talked to him, I was mentally telling myself... "don't stutter, don't stutter..." because I felt like I was a blubbering idiot. But I think I was fine, LOL, it just felt like that. It got better as the day went on. Of course I could never stop blushing!!! Thank god, by the end of the day I was sunburned so I don't think he could tell that much!

Why didn't I think of that!!! That should have totally been part of the deal!!!! Of course it was the spray on kind so I don't know how much fun that would have been, LOL!

*sighs* I STILL can't believe that this was my day! I will remember it for the rest of my life!

I would of done the same thing... "don't stutter, don't act like an @ss...

I'm bordering on stalker here, but what stuff did you talk about? You said you didn't even bring up his shows. I've never met a celebrity, only seen them eating at the next table or walked past them on a crowded sidewalk, anyway, I think I would want to be the normal fan and have a normal conversation with them like you did. It would very cool to be the best friend, you know, someone that knows them outside of their Hollywood, on air life.

Was Jason's wife around anywhere? She seems like she would be very friendly too.

You're not bordering on stalker at all, lol. I'm loving being able to share my experience! I would be the same way!

Since it was a golf tournament I wasn't really sure how open the celebs would be to autographs, pics, etc., while they were playing. And also since it was actually a pro tournament they are pretty picky about when you can take photos, etc. So for the first couple of holes we kind of laid back and didn't want to seem to obvious since we were the only two people walking with the group. Hence the reason a lot of the good pics I got were at the practice green and range. And Tim (Jason's security) looked a little wary of us at first.

But after the first couple of holes I think it was obvious to them that we were following the course to see Jason so they all loosened up quite a bit and then came the sunblock thing. That really opened the initial dialogue.

Let's see... we talked about lots of things. He asked me where we were from and if we came there just for the golf tournament. I told him that I was from Nashville and we talked a little bit about that... if I liked living there, etc. We talked about tennis, a lot of golf, nascar, my husband, the weather, the beautiful scenery, the charities, how much he has been playing golf recently, the pros in the group... OH and I forgot!!! He told my husband and I that we must be his good luck charm since he was playing so well!!! I think that was my favorite.

Yes, his wife showed up around the eighth or ninth hole along with another guy (her brother, his brother, friend... I'm not sure) but she stayed in the cart mostly. She smiled at me once or twice but we never spoke. She did seem nice, though. I was pleasantly surprised that that didn't stop him from talking to me at all. It was a little weird though, taking pictures. I kept thinking "I wonder what she thinks about some woman taking a bunch of pictures of her husband?"

I didn't want to talk about his shows or anything, especially since Moonlight just got cancelled. I didn't want to bring up a bad thought. Besides, I'm sure they have to talk about that stuff a lot. I like to think that it was nice for him to be able to talk 'normally' to a fan. I would hope so.

Major squeeee! I'd be so jealous but it's so good to hear about what a wonderful time you had. :-) Jason seems just as nice as I've always heard (not your hubbie, although I I'm sure he's the greatest, too!). I also just saw that you posted this at A-Dohring Crowd, so will add my vicarious thrill squees over there, too! Can't wait for pictures!! You rock, girlie. :-D

I know, I can't believe I could actually form coherent sentences. LOL! I feel like a little kid as much as I have been smiling and squeeing!! I have to say, when I went to the tournament all I was hoping for was some pics of him. In my wildest dreams I never believed my day would be like that. I just can't say enough about how nice and gracious Jason is. He didn't have to be that nice and down to earth but he was and it makes me gaga over him even more. He truly deserves every great thing that happens to him. A true class act all the way.

But I admire your hubby even more,he deserves a medal

^I couldn't agree more!! He was just too awesome for words! That's why I love him so much, even more than JD, lol!:)

And you're welcome for the pics!

I just saw the pictures; I am so happy for you! That is too cool that you got to meet him and spend some time, seems like you really got to know him better. LOL the sunscreen! Jason doesn't want to get burned, I suppose. OMG and your husband has the same name, that is too funny!

Your husband rocks and so do you :0 I am so high-fiving you across the net!!

Thank you!! Yes, my husband does rock. I can't say enough about him either!! One of my friends asked me if I thought that JD might think I married him because his name was Jason, too. I had to laugh...now that *would* be obsessive. LOL. It's funny, too because my hubby is about 2 inches taller than Jason so we look like JD and I did in the picture.

High five back!!
