Amy Meets Kasey Kahne!!



How cool is that? Amy and baby Gaynier meets her/maybe their favorite NASCAR Nextel Cup Series driver. How you ask? Details attached...

Doug's lease is up on his vehicle soon and was making a deal this past Monday at a Dodge dealer. On Tuesday he stopped by to check on some things since the new vehicle was located at another dealership and needed to get back to work the day before. While waiting for the salesperson to return from lunch, Doug noticed this sign... Autographs available. Kasey Kahne will be here Thursday from 5-8. Well, Doug immediately called Amy at work to let her know. It didn't take long, after Amy settled down a bit, to determine that she wasn't taking lunches the rest of the week and leaving early to be there at 5. In case you didn't know, Kasey Kahne is Amy's A#1 driver!!!

Timing can be of the essence. One of Doug's long time friends, Jill, who lives in North Carolina was shopping one day recently and found some Kasey Kahne (9) onesies and sent them up for the baby. We were very grateful to receive them and Amy was ecstatic and bouncing off the walls. It was quite the site to see, a pregnant woman jumping like she wasn't... Thanks for the onesies and the giggles Jill!

So, we made it to the dealership in plenty of time. Kasey started signing autographs around 6:00 and we were only allowed one item to be signed. Of course, Amy had more... However, Amy was able to get 4 things signed. One of which was the onesie. Unfortunately, Amy didn't open it up and Kasey unknowingly signed the back. Not a good thing if you are thinking about framing it for the baby's room and the name is on the back. It was also noticed that the hat that Amy wanted him to sign, didn't because it was on Doug's head. So, another trip through the line was made.

It came time to leave, but Amy just couldn't get herself to do it as she was peeking through some vehicles at a distance. Now was the time to pull out the big guns and note that we still needed to get some groceries, etc. and get home so that we could leave in the morning to head out the MIS for the big race weekend.

Yes, Amy made some fun of herself in telling Kasey that she and our baby were huge fans. To which Kasey giggled and grinned as you can see in the picture. Doug wished him well for the race this weekend and he looked up and graciously said thank you. Doug felt pretty good because there wasn't anyone that was wishing him well or even really saying anything to him. Amy thought it was a good idea and wished him well this weekend as well.
