I Met Mike Wolfe

It was meant to be. So, Zach and I DVR American Pickers every week and we just happened to be watching it on Friday night. Even though we fast forward though the commercials Zach saw an ad that caught his eye and went back to it. It was an ad for a Mike Wolfe appearance at the Arlington Heights Goodwill the next day. Fate.

So we decided to go and got there around ten (when it was supposed to start) and the line was already curving around the building. We had to wait an hour and a half, but it was worth it.

He was so nice, gracious, and handsome! And he gave me a hug! He looks exactly like he does on the show and was willing to sign two things for us (one of which is a surprise for my mom, hehe).

The American Pickers van was even there. So cool. Best day ever.
