John Luke is just as awkward in person as he can be on Duck Dynasty.

So this past weekend my family got the opportunity to attend a banquet fundraiser put on by Fort Worth Christian Schools. The special guest speaker was - wait for it - Willie Robertson! If you don't know, I'm a HUGE Duck Dynasty fan. My whole family is, actually. My parents and I watch it every Wednesday night and can't help but fall more in love with this family every time. They're not your normal reality TV family.

So we got to be in what was called the "receiving line", which was basically a chance to get to meet and shake hands with Willie, Korie, John Luke, Sadie, Will, and Bella! It was so cool to be able to meet these people in person! I wanted so badly to be able to take a picture with them, but apparently you had to pay like $500 to be in the picture line, and... yeah. But I rebelled and took a selfie with John Luke in the background. ;) We watch them on TV and think, "Oh they're just overacting. There's no way they're like that in real life." And I do agree with most people who say the show is pretty scripted. I mean, they give them a scenario, but these people are exactly who they are on the show. Willie is outgoing, Korie is gorgeous and so sweet, John Luke is awkward and SO adorable, Sadie is so cute and just all around a genuine person, Will is shy and quiet, and Bella is just a sweetheart! Willie shared different stories about his life, and talked about how there's no way that they would be where they are if it wasn't for God. HOW COOL is that? He didn't give any glory to himself, or Phil (okay maybe a lot to Phil), but he just said over and over that GOD is the one who gave them all the success. I just think that's awesome. After he talked, the whole family did a Q&A session. That was definitely fun! Kelly Moore (the president of FWCS) asked John Luke and Sadie about college, and Sadie said she's definitely going to Harding. John Luke didn't answer... But I heard that he might be coming to ACU for a tour, so wouldn't that be cool! But I imagine he'll choose Harding, you know, because of family legacy there and all.

So not only did I get to meet my favorite TV stars, but one of my all time favorite Christian artists was there too! Josh Wilson! And he's just as amazing live. And I got to meet him afterwards and take a picture with him! And I got his CD and he signed it for me! It was so awesome.

So what's the lesson here?
1. John Luke is definitely just as awkward in person as he can be on the show. But he's also just as adorable!
2. Along with that, not all famous people are two faced or act differently in person. Some people can be genuine and real. The Robertsons are prime examples of that!
3. Sometimes "gourmet" food isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Here are some pictures from the banquet!
