LOLO JONES!

Olympian Lolo Jones had her welcome home ceremony thing tonight at the Jordan Creek Town Center in West Des Moines, Iowa. The first part of the event was held outside, due to the volume of people, and then she signed autographs inside.

I completely forgot about it until I had already left the mall after work and called my mom to say i was on my way home, and she reminded me that Lolo was signing autographs until 7! I made the fastest u-turn of my life (probably on one wheel) and sped back to the mall and got in line. I was in line for over an hour and a half. She stayed over two hours longer than originally planned!

She apologized profusely for it taking so long, & I thanked her for staying longer than she was going to. I got a picture with her, and she signed a t-shirt and a big poster for me! I told her how I went to the send-off for her before the olympics and how every time I was about to get up to get her autograph, they shooed us back to our chairs so she could go back on stage, and she was like "well, now you've got two :)"

I was so star struck it's ridiculous! I had no idea what to say when I got up there! I was so excited I almost cried after I got my poster from her! She's such a sweet heart :)

Lolo's awesome, I met her in Glasgow and she was so happy to meet fans, sign autographs and have photos taken! :)

Great succes, glad you were finally able to get her autograph. Is she related at all to Rashida Jones from The Office because they share the same last name and really look very similar.
