Never in a million years would I have thought that I would get to write my own Bieber Experience. I have been supporting Justin since 2009 and I was lucky enough to get the chance to meet him on November 4th 2012 . It all started over the summer when my best friend Natalie and I were surprised by our parents with M&G tickets to his Philly concert. We both were shaking so much and crying when we found out and couldn’t believe it was actually going to happen. We had been waiting to meet him for 3 years and it honestly just didn’t feel real. We decided since the concert was on a Sunday night that we would drive to Philly on Saturday and walk around the city to look for his crew and then spend the night in a hotel. On Saturday November 3rd, Natalie and I drove to Philly and were walking around shopping trying to find anyone that was part of the crew. We had been looking for almost 2 hours and it was getting dark so we started to give up. We were in Urban Outfitters and about to leave when I walked past this guy who was singing ‘One Less Lonely Girl’. I thought to myself ‘What guy would be shopping and singing One Less Lonely Girl unless they knew Justin?” When I got a chance to see his face, I knew I recognized him as part of the Bieber crew. We found out later that he was Mike Lerner, Justin’s photographer . I immediately told Natalie and we started freaking out about it so we followed him around the store for a little because we were too scared to approach him. As we were following him around, I saw Nick DeMoura enter the store. That was when we completely lost it. We were completely shaking and freaking out that the Bieber crew was right there in the store with us. We didn’t know what to do because we were so overwhelmed. Finally we saw that Nick was leaving the store but I knew I couldn’t let him leave without talking to him. We ran after him and asked if we could have pictures with him and he said yes. He was so sweet and nice. Then we saw Mike leaving and asked him for a picture too. We got to talk with him about how we were going to the concert the next day and he was really cool too. After that, Natalie and I were completely freaking out. The next day (day of the concert) we woke up at 7:00 AM and started getting ready. We go to the arena at around 8:00 AM and just waited. Keep in mind it is November in Philly which means it was around 40˚F out. We waited outside from 8 AM until around 2 PM. During this time, we met tons of other beliebers who were trying to get tickets, got to see Justin’s grandmother, and got these awesome bracelets that say ‘Bieber Nation’ on them from someone in Justin’s crew. We had to leave the arena at 2 because we had to get ready for the M&G. The M&G started at 4 so when we got back to the arena at 3, we waited outside some more where we got to see Justin pull up and Alfredo get out of the tour bus. Finally we had to go inside to get in line for the M&G. We were waiting in line when I saw Alfredo walk by. He is my favorite member from the crew and when I saw him walk by I was completely in shock. I couldn’t believe it. I was so mad at myself for not saying anything to him but then he walked by again and I immediately said hi and asked for a picture. I couldn’t be more thankful that he said yes because I could tell he was in a rush but he stopped anyways to take a picture with me and it meant so much. After that I almost started crying but I knew I couldn’t because I would be meeting Justin in less than 5 minutes. We were led down these stairs where we saw the black curtain that we knew he was standing behind. Right before we went in, we saw Dan Kanter but we couldn’t get a picture with him. We also got to meet Kenny right before we went in. When I walked in I couldn’t believe how perfect he looked. His jawline was incredible. His skin was flawless. I remember looking up and making eye-contact with his beautiful hazel eyes and then I swear I blacked out. I don’t remember Mike saying “Ready? 1, 2, 3,” for the picture or the picture being taken because I think I was just in complete shock. After the picture, the security guards started saying we had to leave. I didn’t want to leave without a hug though. I went up to Justin who was holding his arms out for a hug and I just went for it. As we were hugging I felt like we were the only two people in the world and nothing else mattered. The security guards kept yelling “No hugging!” but Justin didn’t let go. While we were hugging I said “Thank you so much Justin, for everything,” and then it was over. I left the room and was completely overcome with shock. All I’ve ever wanted was to thank Justin for everything he has done for me, and that’s exactly what I got to do. As Natalie and I were leaving, we saw Dan and we knew we had to go talk to him! We were lucky enough to talk to him for a bit and get a picture with him. He was so cute. We then went outside and cried for a good hour about everything that had just happened to us. Next we went to the concert which was incredible. I got to touch Justin’s hand and I swear he has never performed better. The whole night was flawless and I wouldn’t change any of it. I am so thankful that I had this opportunity and I will honestly never forget that day.  Read the rest here: Never in a million years would I have thought that I would get…
