I can't believe I can finally write one of these! Okay, so on July 13th, 2013, I woke up and the first thing I said is "today is the day omg". It was my 2 year anniversary of being a Psanderette, and I was finally going to meet him, the guy who saved my life. So, I'm getting ready as normal (with the freaking out every 20 minutes "oh my gosh today's the day!"), and my friend knocks on the door. "Are you ready?" and, in the super-excited state I was is, "YESSSSSSS!!!!" So, off we go. My aunt, cousin, best friend and I, on the road to Toronto for me and my best friend to meet Peyton Sanders. I cried at least twice on the way there. We had no idea what time the meet & greet started, so I asked the host of Radio Nation (@Radio_Nation) and he asked someone for me, and they said it started at 3. By the time we got there, it was like 3:40 or so, but when we got there, it didn't really look like anyone had been let in. We were chatting with that guy for like 10 minutes, and my best friend and I decided we should go and see if VIP's were let in already, and they were! So we ran and got into the venue. I looked at Jaris, and said "lets do this!" So, we walk in to the main room of the Opera House, and I stop instantly. There he is. I look at Jaris and say the words "oh my gosh" barely over a whisper. I start walking toward this perfect human being with a huge smile on my face, and he looks up. "Hi! How are you?" were the first words I ever heard Peyton say in real life. I walked faster and just grabbed him into a hug. I couldn't believe I finally met him. That hug was the best hug I've ever had. I felt so safe and secure, and all of my worries were totally gone. My friend hugged him after that, and I told him that it was my 2 year Psanderette anniversary, and he's like "really? wow thats a long time! whats your twitter?" I told him, "@fairlyoddemma !" And he says "Oh I know exactly who you are!!" That is seriously the best thing I've ever heard in my life. Not only am I meeting the most important person in my life, but he knows me from Twitter. So, I gave him the letter I wrote for him, and he told me that he was going to read it on the plane ride home (!!!!). We took pictures then, and he asked me if its my first time seeing him live, and I told him yes, and so he said "Well, I really hope you enjoy the show. I promise you will!" I told him I'm sure I will, and we hugged again. I never ever wanted to let go, partly because he smells perfect, but mostly because it was Peyton. So, when showtime came around, and he got up on that stage, I was absolutely blown away. He puts everything he has into his performances, and I really got to see that shine last night. I'm so much more proud of him than I ever was, and I love him more than I ever thought was possible. He is the most genuine, sweet, down to earth person I've ever met. He was so easy to talk to and not be awkward around. - @fairlyoddemma

“Where is he?”  “Do you guys see him?”  “I’m so excited!”  It was 2:00 on the Friday of September 10th, 2011. The 24 of us wait eagerly to finally meet the 16 year old boy who talked to us on blogtv until 2 am in front of a wall full of fan posters in his basement. The clock strikes 2:15; he should be here any minute now. We wait there at The Bean in Millennium Park in downtown Chicago, checking all entrances every 20 seconds to see when he will walk in. Some traveled hours just for this. Some people thought it was insane to travel through numerous states just for one guy, but I understood why they did because I, myself, would do the exact same. 

Back in July of 2011, I had heard about a concert in Nashville called Teen Hoot. Back then, only 30 people went to Teen Hoot. I wanted to see all those that were performing. Some familiar names appeared like Skylar Dayne & Dylan Holland. I had gone on their twitters & I saw them tweeting @TheRealPSanders. I had heard the name before, but I didn’t know who he really was. I clicked on his profile & saw he was a rapper. I watched one of his videos. It was Perfection, literally. I instantly fell in love. I followed him right away & not too long after, he followed me back. The very first thing he said to me was that I was gorgeous, & that just won my heart over even more. I continued watching his videos & staying updated with him. Not only did he have talent, but he was a genuine guy. For some reason, he just made me happy. He was so determined to achieve his dream; it was inspiring. You could tell he put his entire heart into every single one of his videos. He started doing live chats, called blogtv. I went to my first blogtv, & I’ll never forget how sweet & funny he was. He stood up so late just to talk to us. That proved how much he cared for his fans. He was incredible. We talked every single day & he just made me so happy. He did something called starlite fm. I would call him every Saturday morning & we would talk for what seemed like hours. He was always so sweet to everyone. Whenever I was upset, he would be my ray of hope. He would always pick up all the pieces & put them together. He’s an angel & I can’t thank God enough for blessing me with the opportunity of getting to know him.

As the summer went on, our house got flooded & our family started arguing & splitting apart. These times were hard & I didn’t know how to deal with them. By the end of the day, I was just tired of everything & wanted it all to be over. But Peyton was my light in the darkness. He would talk on blogtv every single night & that would turn my mood around instantly. Before bed, I would fall asleep to his music & it just put me at ease. I knew I could always count on him. One month later in August, my phone vibrated. I checked it & it was a tweet from Peyton. He announced that he would be going to Chicago in September. My world stopped for a second. I didn’t know what to say or do. I was just so happy because I knew I would finally be able to meet the one guy that was there for me through everything.

It’s now September 7th & I just got home from school with a giant teddy bear & boxes of Swedish Fish. At this point, I couldn’t even think during school because I was so excited. I would count the days down & before I knew it, it was 7 am on September 10th,” today is the day” I said to myself. I hopped on a train at noon & got there at 1 pm. Time goes on & it’s 2:15. I hear someone say that he’s here, so I look over, & there he was. Peyton Sanders was 20 feet away from me. My heart stopped beating. I walk over to him, & we didn’t even say a word to each other at first. He just came with arms wide open & he gave me the hug I had been waiting for the entire summer. There wasn’t a time that I was happier, & to this day, I say the exact same thing. That moment in my life made up for all the sadness & suffering. No one will ever understand how much that hug meant to me.

“I got you something” I say to him as I hand him the giant teddy bear & gift bag.

“This is for me? Haha awesome.” Those were the first words I heard him say in person. I moved over so that other people could talk to him. Apparently I was so happy that I was shaking & I actually started crying. I didn’t realize it until he came back to hug me & said “You’re shaking!”  I introduced myself & told him my twitter, but he said “Psh, I know!” Back then, he knew every single one of his fans. He stood at the bean for two hours. We talked & took pictures & just had fun. This was real, I finally met him. He was the sweetest guy ever & for two hours, he made me feel special. I felt... Happy. There is no other word to describe how I felt besides happy. Ask me today & I will still say 9-10-11 was the best day of my life.

Not too long after that, Peyton hit 10,000 followers. I was so proud to see him grow every single day. But as he continued to get his name out there, it was harder for him to talk one on one with us. I still supported him with all my heart, but the change was hard on me. 20K, 30K, 40K, 50K.. It all happened so fast. I missed him so much. I missed seeing him in my mentions, I missed hearing his voice, I missed him. But I got a DM from him saying that I won a Skype call with him. We set it up for the next day at 3pm. He called me & we just talked. I missed him so much & it was so good talking to him again like we used to. He reminded me what it was like to feel special.

The summer of 2012 came & I got incredible news. I found out I won a contest to go to teen hoot. Peyton was going to be there & I was so excited. July 7th was the day I would see him again. We drove 7 hours to Nashville from Chicago. I stepped into Rocket town & went straight to find Peyton. I saw his mom, Tammy, & his grandmother, Ruth, first. I asked them where he was & they pointed me there. I walked over as fast as I could; my heart was literally pounding because it had been almost a year since I last saw him. When he saw me, he recognized me & said “What are you doing all the way here?!” “I’m here to see you, of course!” I hugged him & asked how he had been. I gave him a letter which I had wrote for him & I actually kept calm this time instead of shaking & crying. I think he had read the letter before performing because while he was on stage about to perform, he gave a speech & a lot of what I wrote in the letter were things that he had said. “Today while I was doing my meet & greet, I realized how blessed I was to have the most amazing fans in the world.  I came from a single comment on a video where someone said ‘hey I think you should make more’ & I said ‘oh come on this is just for fun’. Well you know what, that fan saved my life; & now, there are almost 50 thousand of you saving my life.”  But anyways, he performed for us, & my heart melted. I began tearing up along with the rest of the audience because that was Peyton, the 16 year old (who was 17 at the time, but forever 16 in my mind) boy who used to talk to us every night on blogtv until 2 am in front of a wall of posters (which is a new wall now with new posters because he moved) in his basement (which is now a bedroom with an actual bed). That was the guy I instantly fell in love with all because of a song called Perfection & a whole lot of heart. That was the guy that made me smile when nothing else could. That was Peyton Sanders. & that was him living his dream. The smile he had on his face while performing was breath taking & at the moment, I was lost for words. That was the first time I saw him perform, & I knew that wouldn’t be the last either. This was just his beginning, & he is here to stay.

A few days after Teen Hoot, I got so upset with myself. I didn’t feel like the world needed me anymore. I was just done with it all. I was hopeless. All the pain & sadness from the summer just built up & came out all at once. I was alone every single day & I didn’t feel like I mattered. That day, I was ready to give up everything. I didn’t know what more to do. I tweeted saying that I was done & I was sorry for everything; I didn’t mention anyone in it, but Peyton saw that I was upset so he tweeted me. He was my angel. He kept me going & he gave me strength. I wore my Psanderette<21 wristband, & if I was to ever get upset, I saw it & I thought of him. It made things a bit better. That wristband glows in the dark; he is literally my light in the darkness. I had hope because of him. & I still do. I will never forget that. Up to this day, I’m strong because of him. He cares, & he is the reason I’m who I am & the reason why I haven’t given up.

Fast forward, it’s June in 2013 now & I love him more than ever. I find out he will be back in Chicago for a meet & greet on 6-24-13, & of course I go. I walk into the Double Tree Hotel & wait for him to get there. There weren’t that many people there either which was nice because we got more one on one time. When doors opened, I saw him. He remembered me & with one smile, all the memories came flooding back. The boy that I’ve been supporting for two years now is standing there. I give him a hug & I tell him how much I’ve missed him. We talked on & off for two hours. He is still the same boy I fell in love with two years ago. I’ve been so blessed to have met him three times & I will never take that for granted. It’s hard to talk to him now because he has over 100K followers & it is bitter-sweet. I’ve always wanted him to share his talent with the world, but it’s hard not seeing him in my mentions every two hours. It’s hard knowing that he isn’t my secret anymore. All that is hard, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I was so happy 9-10-11, & everyone deserves that happiness. Everyone deserves to hear his music & his story. & most of all, he deserves this. He has worked so hard & he inspires so many people every single day. He honestly does deserve the best. He’s stood grounded throughout all this & is a great role model. For those of you who haven’t met him, don’t lose hope. Like Peyton would say, “Never Give Up, Never Let Go, Never Give In.”

June 24th, 2013 was the best night of my life. The moments I've been waiting so long for has finally happened. I met Peyton Levi Sanders. The one I've been supporting nonstop through twitter, facebook, & spreading the word to my family and friends. I found Peyton through the Halloween Hootaween that happened to be on my 16th birthday. When I first heard Peyton performing I wasn't sure about him but as I kept listening to his voice I was like "he's different, I like it". I've never heard a voice like Peyton's, to me it's different and that's what I like about it. But anyways that night I spent the rest of my birthday watching all his videos and then I found him on twitter. Hours later in my mentions was "Peyton Sanders followed you". I didn't even ask him once, he just followed me back. Ever since then my love for him has just kept growing. He's literally my world and these pictures and memories mean the absolute world to me. I love seeing him grow into the artist he's become today. But on to what happened when I met him:

When my sister, 2 friends & I arrived at the venue we were freaking out because we were actually there and we were about to go see all our favorite artists perform aka peyton sanders (duh), dylan holland, alabama capital, sammy adams, jake miller, emblem3  & more. When we got in the door and the people by the door checked our tickets, Peyton's merch table was the first one. We then saw Gran & Momma. I started bawling my eyes out because I couldn't believe all of this was happening. Gran looked over and saw us crying. My friend waved to her, so she waved back. The first thing we did when we got through the people checking our tickets was go meet Gran & Momma. They were so sweet. We asked them if the show started (we were a little late) and they said it was just about to start. We told Gran that we had traveled 3 hours from chicago and she was so fascinated by it. As we were walking away Gran told Momma that we came all the way from Chicago.

After Alabama Capital performed they said they'd meet us at their merch table... we went there and they weren't there so then we went back to Peyton's merch table to buy merch and such. We ended up talking to Gran, GPaw & Momma for like 20 minutes and then we went to go see Peyton perform. He killed that stage and I was just blown out of my mind. Everything was perfect and I fell even more in love with him after seeing him live.

I was in the concert area and while Jake Miller was performing, Peyton tweeted "Come meet me at my table!!! Gonna be there for a few <21" so my sister & 2 friends rushed out of our seats and some girls on the way was like "where are you going" I didn't answer them because if they didn't know Peyton tweeted that then they obviously don't know who he is so we all ran to his merch table. We got there and Peyton wasn't there so we were looking around and he wasn't in sight. I did end up seeing my friends Emily & Sarah that I met through Peyton's street team.. well Emily. I met Sarah through Emily/twitter but anyways.

A couple seconds later I spotted Peyton coming to the merch table with Joe (JoeDiasOfficial) & Brian (StrongestCopTX). I started getting butterflies, like Peyton was actually in front of me. He's a real person and he's in right in front of me. I was so happy. There was maybe 3 people in front of me (Emily and Sarah went right before me). It was finally my turn to go up to him.

As I was walking up to Peyton, he was like "You look like a big fan" and I was like "yeah" while I was smiling. I should have said no and joked around with him but I was too nervous. We got our picture and I put my hand on his abs (let me just say they are perfect and peyton if you're reading this.. hi). I told Peyton that my sister, 2 friends and I drove 3 hours from Chicago to come see him that day. He said "wow really" and I said "yes". Then we were talking about the posters that my friends Allison & Sam made (they are the two friends that went with my sister and I). My sister and I would have helped with the posters but the night Allison & Sam decided to make them it was storming really really bad in Chicago.

But he said he tweeted about the posters, and I was like "the cloud posters because those aren't ours" and he was like "there were four of them right? I tweeted about them (later on in the night I checked and he never tweeted about them that day lol silly peyton). I was like "the ones with the lights" and he said yes and that he really liked them. After that someone else from my group went up to Peyton and I called Joe over asking we could take a picture and he said yes. So we took a normal picture and then we took a selfie. After that I thanked Joe and I was like wait I want a selfie with Peyton so I went back up to him (because he was still with people from my group) and I was like "Peyton, can we take a selfie?" He said said yes and then I was like "can you take it because I take bad selfies so he took it and it was the cutest thing ever aka the middle picture in this collage.

After we took a selfie I asked him to sign my phone case. I gave him my phone and he was like "whose signature is this" I was like "it's eben's" Peyton was like "go figure" and he started laughing a little bit.

After that waited for my sister & friends to meet Peyton and I just kept staring at him. He's incredible and I still couldn't believe he's right in front of my eyes.

After we all met Peyton we went off to the side of him and were all in a huddle and we cried. I caught Gran & Momma smiling at us, it was so cute.

If you read all of this, thank you. Meeting Peyton was literally the best moment of my life. I'll never forget this, memories for life.

I love you Peyton, so much.

[mymomentswithpsanders-blog-blog]

I met Peyton at the Social Music Festival in Fort Wayne. I was actually very blessed with the opportunity to go 4 hours early and see everyone's sound check. It was kind of boring, honestly. I really wanted to see Peyton. I guess I was just anxious, I couldn't bring myself to pay attention to anyone else. During Jessica Sanchez's soundcheck, Joe Dias came out. I saw him and knew Peyton was close, and he was. He walked out right behind Joe, and the tears literately started streaming from my face. I couldn't help it, and we couldn't make noise or we'd get kicked out so I was just sitting there like silently sobbing to myself. Peyton walked back to wherever he came from, but when Jessica got done with her sound check he was back out. He kept walking by us, but we were in a section above him. Keep in mind we couldn't make any noise. I literately felt like I was going to go insane because Peyton was right there and I couldn't say anything. Finally, I couldn't take it anymore and my friend and I started knocking on the railing by us, and finally I said "PSSSTTT PEYTON". I seriously said this like 10 times before he finally looked up, and I said "I love you!" He answered with "I love you too" but then pause and said "..at least that's what I thought you said, if not then that would be awkward." and he giggled and I literately died inside. Then he was sound checking for Better Than Me and he pointed at me and I cried again. Omg. This day was just filled with tears. So afterwards, I was freaking out too much to pay any attention. My mind had been set on Peyton that whole day, and nothing was about to change that. His performance was perfect. Every little thing, every little word, every dance move, just everything was perfect. <21 I was actually really upset because I hadn't gotten meet and greet tickets, so I thought I wasn't going to be able to hug him or anything. I actually just sat down during I forget who's performance, and my stomach hurt, but then I told myself that I had already gotten to tell him that I loved him, and I got to see his performance and too stop being upset and be grateful. After the concert everyone started pouring out and I was being shoved everywhere, but finally we got out the door, and there he was. Peyton was at his merch table. My smile was the biggest. We got in line and we actually accidentally cut people because we weren't sure where the line started. lolol oops. But I kept staring at him. I felt creepy, but I couldn't help it. hE WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. RIGHT THERE AND IN ABOUT 5 MINUTES I WOULD BE HUGGING HIM. I still can't believe this happened. When I actually met him I said "I love you" literately 3 times lol. I didn't have time to tell him about every thing he's done for me. Every thing he has helped me through within the 2 and a half years I've been supporting him. How his music makes me happy when I'm upset. How when I listen to him, I'm in my own little world where nothing can upset me. But I feel like those 3 words summed it all up. I hugged him the first time and I said "I love you" and he obviously answered "I love you too", but I went in for another hug and I said "I seriously love you so much". It was like word vomit. It just kept coming out. I just really needed him to know, I guess. I couldn't help it. It was just about the only thing I said except "We're going to take selfies because selfies are cool" even though I was totally lame. I just. aNYWAYSSS. lmao. June 14th, 2013 I met one of my idols. Peyton is amazing, and meeting him was a dream come true. I wouldn't have changed anything for the world. <21

On June 20, 2013 I was on my friend Caitlin's iPod. I was scrolling down my newsfeed on my facebook when I see the word "Chicago" I looked at the person who made the event and seen that it was Alyce Paris! I looked at the event title and see "Chicago: ALYCE Paris Meet & Greet with Payton Rae, Alyssa Shouse and Peyton Sanders (PSanders) " I immediately went to the event when I seen Peyton's name. Even though I am a huge fan of Payton and Alyssa, I needed to meet Peyton. I told my dad about it and he didn't listen to me. He just told me that if I want to do things like this, I had to do work around the house. I don't like housework. On the 22nd, I asked my dad again and he said No, because I don't do any housework. On the 23rd, I was going crazy. The meet and greet was tomorrow! I needed to meet Peyton! With my niece Cynderella being at my house and also a huge fan of Peyton, we cleaned my bedroom, the bathroom, hallway, living room and the kitchen! We wanted this so bad! We were awake til 1:30 in the morning,cleaning. The next day, the 24th, it was the day of the meet and greet. I overheard my mom asking my dad what time we were leaving and my dad said he wasn't taking us. I started to cry. I stayed in bed for about a half hour then walked out like I just woke up and didn't hear anything. Around 9:45 AM I asked my dad if he would take us. I told him how much Peyton meant to me and that I needed to meet him. My dad was still saying no. At about 10:30, my dad came in my room and said "Here's an idea." He told me about how he had to go look at a job in downtown Chicago and he could take Cynderella and I with him and then to the venue. Of course I agreed! I started freaking out when I realized I was going to be meeting Peyton Sanders for the first time. Cynderella & I immediately began to get ready. When we were finished, it was almost 2! We went to the store and were on the road at 2:10! I was so happy. We finally arrived at the venue at 3:10!(: The M&G was scheduled to start at 3:30 but it didn't start til about 20 minutes later. I was about the 6th or 7th person to get Peyton's autograph. When he was talking to me, I was shaking. Then he told me that we were taking pictures after everyone got their autographs first. I walked to a random table and started crying. I just talked to Peyton Sanders!!! When I composed myself, I sat down for a while and then they started walking around to take pictures. Payton Rae was closest to me so I took my pictures with her first. The line for Peyton was still really long so I went to visit Alyssa next. Before I was able to get my picture with Alyssa, everyone that attended the M&G was in a group picture. I went back and met Alyssa. When I was done meeting her, I got in line to meet Peyton.

  When I was next, he smiled at me and opened his arms for me to hug him. I stopped in front of him and told him that I heard he gives the best hugs and that I wanted to find out for myself and he said "oh, really?" then he gave me a hug. When he hugged me, he squeezed me. My face was in his chest and I was smiling. I then told him I want two pictures with him; one normal and one with us hugging eachother. I could bearly finish saying that I want a hugging picture before he threw his arms around me.We took the picture and then a normal one. I hugged him one more time and told him I loved him and that he gave the best hugs. He told me he loved me too.

I then went and said Hi to Alyssa again and got other pictures with her and then realized Peyton was alone, so I went and told him I wanted another hug. He gave me another hug and he smiled down at me. Then I asked him if he liked Chicago and we started talking about Amelia, and him and having shows in Chicago. I asked him about Pop Explosion but he said he was not in the line up for Chicago. So I told him to bring OMG Music Fest to Chicago(;. I gave him another hug and then went and sat down. About 5 minutes later, I went up to him one last time and said "Okay, this is the last time I bother you, I swear, but can you sign my arm??" He smiled and signed my arm and I said thank you & bye.. By now the meet & greet was ending and him and Payton were leaving. After they left, Cynderella & I went to the lobby. Cynderella went to the bathroom and I seen Peyton by the elevators. I said bye to him one last time and he smiled. That was the most amazing day of my life. I was able to meet someone I look up to and who I will support forever. Peyton Levi Sanders. <21 June 24, 2013 -@ItsRebecah

I got to go to Opera Night club on October 27, 2012 to meet Peyton and see him in concert. I drove four hours to see him and it was for my birthday. Might I just say BEST PRESENT EVER. He is absolutely amaziing and I cherish this memory. <21 - @kellieee21

[mymomentswithpsanders-blog-blog]

Here is one of my many moments meeting Peyton. It was December 12, 2012 (12/12/12) and I was at JingleBall in Atlanta to see Austin Mahone. I knew Peyton would most likely be there considering him and austin were such good friends. So me and my friend went to go get a drink and something to eat between acts and me being nervous I just looked around for Peyton. Once me and my friend had gotten our food we stood by one of the back doors and a cart so I was eating my soft pretzel lol and I saw Peyton right in front of me I just froze and yelled out "Hey Peyton!" Really loudly with a huge smile on my face waving at him and he waved back and said hi. I guess I was loud enough that some other girls heard and ran towards him to get some pictures I was shaking so much and finally got the courage to walk up to him and The conversation went like this. Peyton: hey! How are you? Me: hi! I'm amazing sorry I'm really shaky.. Peyton: it's fine haha(: We then took out pictures I was hugging him and they turned out really cute Friend: Claudia why are you so nervous you've met him atleast 4 times already. Peyton: I though you looked familiar. Where have I met you before? Me: I met you at......(telling him where) Peyton: haha I remember that last time it was fun. Well I hope you enjoy the show!! Me: I will you too! I love you<21 rep the 21 Peyton: I love you too! And we both held up 21's it was perfect. That was probably my favorite time meeting him. 5/19/11 10/14/11 8/26/12 10/7/12 12/12/12 3/23/13 Were some of the other times i had met him. I love Peyton so much and I'm so great full and blessed to have the chance to meet him so often. Ill always be a psanderette. <21 (Ps.

so when i found out that peyton was gonna be performing at pop explosion LA. i was beyond excited! i asked my mom if we (me, her & my little brother; who is also a fan of peyton!) can go & she immediatly got tickets :) i tweeted peyton's mom a couple days before the concert asking if there was gonna be merch sold there. she replied the next day saying that there were gonna be tshirts and wristbands sold but if i wanted anything that they weren't gonna sell, to let her know. i tweeted her saying that i was interested in the <21 sweatshirt. she DM'd me asking what size and what else? i said i wanted a poster if it wasn't too much. she told me the price and said we could meet up somewhere at the venue and she'll give it to me :) i was now beyond stoked for the concert now. so november 3rd soon came & it was finally the day of the concert! :) so me, my little brother and my mom all got to the avalon in hollywood at around 5:30 am. we were the first in line! haha we were meeting up with @cytlaly_munoz, my friend from twitter. shortly after we arrived, i tweeted peyton, his mom, and his dad saying "can't wait for today<21 me and @cytlaly_munoz have been here since 6 am(:" i put my phone down and we were talking to the POP explosion crew that was helping set up. i grabbed my phone to check the time and i saw that it said "@therealcsanders retweeted/favorited ______" it was my tweet! i was so happy i couldn't contain myself!(: so around 12pm, peyton's dad tweeted that the family was out for lunch. meanwhile at the venue, some of the acts were already arriving for soundcheck. i thought to myself; maybe peyton's heading here after lunch. me and @cytlaly_munoz were keeping a look out at the cars, to see if they were gonna pass by, for about a half an hour. we finally got tired after about 30 minutes and decided to rest. while cytlaly was laying down, i closed my eyes but decided to check the time. in doing so, i saw that peyton tweeted.. "just passed by @popexplosionla, looking good ladies." .___. like seriously? i was soo bummed out because me and cytlaly were keeping an eye out for him but when we don't pay attention, he passes by. we both decided to tweet him. we both tweeted "the moment you pass by is the moment we're not paying attention" tagging him in both of the tweets. i lock my phone but only for it to vibrate in my hand again. peyton retweeted cytlaly! she didn't notice until i told her, but for a split second she didn't believe me. but sure enough he did, and followed her too :) he tweeted her back [me too, being mentioned in the tweet] saying: "see if there's any psanderette's in line, i'll be there later :)" asdfghjkl. i started screaming! two girls in back of us heard and came up to us asking if peyton tweeted us! they were psanderette's too! we talked to them and we'd have our little fangirl moments while waiting in line. we sat back down and my mom brought us pizza that she went to go buy around the corner. we ate and decided to lay down. we were all tired but it'd be worth it in the end, i kept telling myself. cytlaly sat up for a bit, facing me; my back facing the venue entrance. she gasped and whisper/screamed "dylan hyde!" sure enough, THE dylan hyde was five feet in front of us. it was unbelievable. i looked next to him and i noticed a boy with a red baseball cap on. he turned his head a bit to say something to dylan. that's when i realized it was him. peyton.. i couldn't breathe, but it was as if my little brother read my mind and screamed "peyton!" he turned around and smiled :) i waved at him and said "hi peyton" and he waved back. at that moment, my heart literally melted. :') i saw tammy, peyton's mom too and she was so sweet :) and another time, peyton was standing in the door way of the venue, & he waved to us again :) it was getting closer to the time of the concert so i stood up from sitting in the ground. we were currently putting all of our blankets and pillows we brought, back in the car, being told to by the security. i had my posters in my hand and i was more than ever, ready to see peyton. my expectation of how everything was gonna work at the meet & greet was: 1. we'd go in and meet the artists, in the same order as we were outside, meaning since we got there first, we'd meet them first. 2. i'd get to meet pey, and i'd be the happiest day of my life<21 3.they'd, THEN, split us up into who didn't have VIP and who did. that wasn't how it went at all lol. they let ALL the VIP go in front of us and that was like half the line outside. after they let us in, i was thinking to myself "okay, whatever, im still gonna meet peyton" i walked into where they were having the meet and greet and it was seriously a HUGE mess!! it was horrible (/.\) it took us about an hour just standing in line, trying to get to some artists. we finally got closer to Pey and we decided to stop at The Ochoa Boys first. we took a picture and got there autograph. i suddenly turned around to walk over to peyton, everyone crowding around him, when my heart stopped. they announced through the intercom thingy.. "i'm sorry, but we need all of the artists performing tonight to go backstage to get ready." at that point, i was devastated. i ran as fast as i could to where peyton was. he was already packing up. meanwhile, my mom was on the other side of the crowd trying to get tammy's, pey's mom's, attention to ask her about the sweatshirt. my mom said "hi tammy! my daughters the one that messaged you about the sweatshirt on twitter?" and because there was so much noise she didn't hear what my mom said, and tammy said "im sorry i can't hear you" and she went back to trying to pack up for peyton to go backstage. while i was on the other side, peyton was finishing packing up and was still hugging a couple fans. i got his attention and said "hi peyton, can i have a hug?" because well that was probably the only thing possible at the time. he looked up at me, said "i'm sorry, i have to go", and quickly scurried away backstage. at that point, i broke down. i've been waiting since what feels like forever to meet peyton and when the time comes, i can't. i bursts into tears. the people around me looked at me saying things like "awh, she's crying." or even, "don't worry, i didn't meet him either.." but nothing stopped me because at that moment i thought i'd never meet him. meanwhile, my mom finally got attention of tammy, pey's mom. she told her about me being the one that DM'd her on twitter. she gave me the sweatshirt and the poster, and my mom paid. she looked at me and she asked me if i was okay because i was still crying. i let my mom explain, saying that we were here since 6 am and how much i really wanted to meet peyton. tammy said that the m&g was not organized at all and that pey wanted to meet every single one of his fans, and that they were very disappointed on how it turned out. after, i took a picture with tammy and chad [peyton's dad :)] they were very sweet! anyways, pey was amazing! he killed it and i'm so very proud of him (: he rapped strange clouds, better than me, etc. it was literally amazing. -my mom's POV~kinda- [she told me what happened so i'm gonna do my best to interpret what happened] okay, so my mom didn't wanna have to be standing all night so she went and sat down at this little lounge area in the venue. what she didn't realize was that she sat down right next to PEYTON'S DAD! yeah! during a performance by an amazing brother/sister duo, [brandon & savannah] chad made a comment saying "wow, these kids have great talent" or something along those lines. my mom turned to him and said "yeah, they're amazing!" then realizing it was pey's dad, she added "so is you're son!" he turned to my mom and said "oh you've heard him? thank you!" my mom then said "yeah, my daughter's been following his music for half a year now. she's disappointed that she wasn't able to meet him though. we've been here since 6am." chad turned to my mom and was like "she's the one that's been here since 6?!" [remember when i tweeted him that morning? HE ACTUALLY REMEMBERED ME! ahdbdhdkavs] my mom said "yeah! but because we didn't have VIP, she wasnt able to." [before you start thinking it, my mom wasn't trying to complain about me not being able to meet him or anything.] chad then said "oh, that's too bad!" he walked over to tammy and whispered something into her ear then turned their attention to the other acts. about 15 minutes later, tammy walked away and chad sat back down next to my mom. after 5 minutes, my mom felt a tap on her shoulder. she turned around and saw tammy. tammy said "can you call your daughter over here really quick?" my mom was confused but got the gist of what was going on and went to go find me in the crowd. meanwhile, i was still sad about not being able to meet pey but kinda got over it, and decided to make the best of the rest of the concert. i felt a tap on my shoulder this time and turned around to see my mom. she told me that tammy wanted to talk to me. i was really confused, i even asked my mom if i was in trouble. haha. i walked up to tammy and she said "can you come with me really quick?" i followed her, along with my little brother and cytlaly. i walked up a little staircase. when i saw who was at the other end, my heart stopped. peyton. i faintly heard his mom whisper "pey, can you head outside for a little bit?" (there was an alley way on the other side of the door right next to pey) he said "yup." and walked outside, his mom, me, my little brother and cytlaly following behind. i got outside and turned around and there he was. peyyyyiegdjdjhd. he's so perfect. i said "hi, peyton!" and he said hi back, smiling and waving in the process. we took pictures together and he took pictures with my little brother [so freaking adorable, i swear!] and cytlaly. (: i told him that my name was ariana and that he said my name in his "marvin gaye and chardonnay" rap. i showed him the shirt that i made and it quoted his rap saying: "i met a little cutie by the name of ariana. <21 marvin gaye & chardonnay remix" he said my shirt was very cool haha. i also asked him for a kiss on the cheek. he leaned down and told me "i would but they won't let me." i didn't care, i was just happy i met him. :) after that, he thanked us for coming, giving each one of us a hug. when he hugged me, i told him "i love you peyton!" and he said "i love you too." asdfghjkl; he's the cutest everrrrrr.<21 we then walked out of the alley and back to my mom. i had the BIGGEST smile on my face ever! waiting for me was my mom. she was so happy for me. haha. next to her was chad and also, one of peyton's friends! taylor i think? i recognized her from one of pey's pictures from when he first came to LA, the past summer. she was really pretty and very nice! she congratulated me for finally meeting him (: at that point, i was super happy and i didn't care about most of the other acts so i just sat down with my mom. (i still payed attention, i just didn't get up to watch them perform.) i heard a familiar voice coming from somewhere to the right of me. i looked over my shoulder and there was peyton, poking his head through a little window. he scared me tho! haha but he waved at me :) haha at last, i got up to watch IM5 [my favorite boyband] perform. they were one of the last ones. they were absolutely amazing (: i walked back to my seat and right next to my mom was peyton, taking picture with some fans and signing stuff. at that point, i remembered that i made him posters and i wanted to give them to him! one said "Here from Day 1, Here till the days are done.<21" the other said "Psanderette F&A So i'm here to back you up 121." i quickly jotted down a little note on the back and walked up to him. i gave him one and said "here pey :)" he looked at me and said "for me?" pointing at himself. i said yes, and he gave me a hug saying "thank you so much!" i gave him the other one and he said "is this one for me too?" i nodded and he gave me another hug and thanked me again. i was beyond happy. after that, me and my mom talked to taylor and tammy for a little bit. it was nice talking to them, they're so sweet! peyton was about to go downstairs and i quickly said "bye peyton!" because we were about to leave too. he turned around and said bye back :) [the concert was over and we were about to leave but we were waiting for cytlaly's mom to come pick her up.] we were parked in the lot by the venue and many of the artists were too! we met lia marie johnson, and some of the IM5 boys! i was leaning on the side of my car and i saw the sanders family walking to there car. i decided to say bye one last time so i did! peyton said bye back. that moment made me the happiest because i thought back to all that happened that day. 5 minutes later, my mom caught my attention telling me to turn around. i did and i saw the sanders family car passing by. all 3 of them waved goodbye at me, including peyton from the backseat! he looked so adorable and that made my heart skip a beat.<21 that day, november 3rd 2k12, will always be one of the best days of my life. thanks to tammy, chad and peyton. i love you guys so much! xx a couple days later, i was in school. boring right? haha i was in bio. i got a notification from twitter sent to my phone. it was a tweet from peyton, considering i get his tweets sent to my phone. it said " california, i'll miss you..." i tweeted back saying "we'll miss you too peyton<21 thanks for the best day of my life(:" thinking oh well, he's not gonna see it because whenever i tweet him, he doesn't see it. nevertheless, 2 minutes later my phone goes off while i'm still in class saying that "@therealpsanders retweeted:_________" i swear, you should've seen me at that moment. my friend said i looked like a little kid in a candy shop! haha i was freaking out. peyton's my inspiration. a big part of my life. i'll always be here for him.. no matter what anyone says.<21 to peyton: if by any chance you ever see this, even tho you probably don't remember me, i just want to say thanks for everything. for being there, for your music. for being my hero.<21 i love you (: hope you like my story, it's pretty hectic. my friends say it's sort of like a fan fiction kind of experience. :) haha -ariana [twitter: xoarianaa]

On December 28 I met Peyton at his meet and greet with Eben. I remember when I found out about it I texted my friend Emily right away and said don't make any plans on the 28 Peyton and Eben are gonna be at Kenwood! Emily and I spent all day at the mall and it was getting closer to the time they were coming and we were in line at forever 21 when I saw Peyton's tweet saying they were going to the food court so Emily threw the head an she was getting at a random clothes rack and went out to the food court. Once they got to the mall they went to where Santa sits to take pictures there. When Emily and I were waiting we made new friends and we all decided to go in together. When we finally got in I went straight up to Peyton and gave him a huge hug (His hugs are amazing) and he laughed at how excited I was. My hands were so shakey because I was nervous/excited that when we were getting a group picture I was handing my phone to Eben's mom and I dropped it and screamed... I was embarrassed at first but after it was really funny. Before we had to go I asked Peyton for a picture with just us and while we were waiting for Emily's phone to load he had his arm around me and after I told him how he was a huge inspiration to me and during that he still kept his arm around me:) I had so much fun that day!! Both Peyton and Eben were really nice and funny. I still can't believe I got the chance to meet them they are such huge inspirations to me. <21 -@Graciegracexx

August 16th, 2012 was one of the best day of my life. A few weeks earlier I heard that there was going to be a concert with Austin Mahone at this club in ATL. I loved Austin Mahone so I wanted to go. Every week they added some new. They added PSanders. I wasn't familiar with him at the time. I went on Youtube and looked him up. I was like he's okay. Then they put Ryan Beatty, MattyB, Austin Mahone, Peyton and more. I couldn't believe I was going. I got there. I was pretty close to the stage and I was really looking forward to seeing Austin. Of course he went last because he was the biggest act. Before that Peyton came on. I was shocked. I couldn't believe what was in front of my eyes. His dedication , his voice , his movements. Everything was perfect. I was like this is it. He is going to be huge. I love him. After it was over I was walking towards the door because I didn't think there was going to be any meet and greets or anything. All of a sudden I see a huge group of people. Of course I didn't care who it was, so I ran over. I was like oh my gosh. It's Peyton Sanders. Then I couldn't think of anything to say so I just hugged him, said Thank You and he signed my phone case and I took a picture with him. I still remember his exact words, "It was nice meeting you sweethearts." I was like he is so nice. I went home, happier then ever. About a month later, I was so dedicated. I watched all of his videos, live broadcasts, and always kept up with him. I wanted a sweatshirt , I always wanted to Rep The 21. My mom ended up meeting his mom to get it and I was overwhelmed. I am so dedicated to all of his work. He changed my life forever. I have been a PSanderette for 6 months now. Hopefully, I get to meet him again and will be a fan for the rest of my life. I love you Peyton Levi Sanders <21 - @TaylorLeigh04

[mymomentswithpsanders-blog-blog]

Well I've been a PSanderette for over a year and I can honestly say I don't regret clicking on one of Peyton's videos. I love him more than anyone can ever imagine. Okay so when Peyton went to Teen Hoot for the very first time I saw all the pictures of fans getting to meet him and I was so upset because I knew I would never get to meet him since I live in New York. Of course as the time went on he had more meet and greets and I started to feel like everyone was getting to meet him except me. Then when he finally announced that he was nominated for a Shorty Award and that it took place in New York. As soon as I saw his tweet about that I literally got up and started bawling my eyes out. Finally March 26th arrived and I was so anxious to meet him. My friends and I got there early and it was extremely cold and we waited for what seemed like forever in the freezing weather. The minuet I saw him walking towards the red steps in Times Square I started to scream and cry. I was in such shock that he was actually right in front of me, I couldn't even breathe and I was shaking so much. Before I even knew it he had to leave for the Shorty Awards but I was so happy I finally got to meet him. Even though I got sick like a week later form standing in the cold it was all worth it. That day was truly a dream come true and I couldn't thank him enough, it was one of the greatest days of my life.

On June 23, 2012 was the second time that I got the honor to meet Peyton. It was absolutely incredible to meet him once again. After he saw the pictures form the first meet and greet he promised that he would come back to New York to make up for the pictures since he said he looked horrible in all of them (I still think he looks perfect in them). When he said that I started to cry and scream like the first time because I was so happy I would get to meet him again. This time he came it wasn't cold like before but it was extremely hot. I didn't care what the wheather was like and if it was messing up my hair. The only thing that mattered to me was that I was getting to meet him again. When he finally arrived I started to cry and I just wanted to give him a big hug. There were so many people there and I waited forever to finally take a picture with him. I was so nervous and I couldn't even go up to him so my friends had to keep pushing me towards him. Then after I took a picture with him I went up for more and I hugged him like 5 times (he gives the best hugs EVER). Just everything about that day was amazing. He made on of my biggest dreams come true again. Peyton if you're reading this I want you to know that you mean more than the world to me and I love you more than you could ever imagine. Thank you so much for coming back to New York, it was so great to meet you again<21. - @Psanderette98

On December 9th, 2012 in New York I met my love, my inspiration, my everything, for the second time. Psanders. But this time it was special. I bought the VIP tickets which got you into the meet & greet. Once we were on the line for the meet & greet, I screamed at him saying "I LOVE YOUU" and he said "I LOVE YOU TOO!" it was so adorable. But first when I got up to him at the meet & greet Peyton said he remembered me because I had my poster in my hand and he saw it on twitter & he said he really liked my poster. So when I went to take a picture with Peyton, my friend was taking the picture and we were standing their posing for the picture for like 20 seconds cause the picture wouldn't take so I started giggling and he was like "aw shes giggling" so we both started laughing and in the picture my eyes were halfway shut. I told Pey, but the security guard wouldn't let me get another picture. I kept telling Peyton "my eyes were shut in out picture" I was looking him strait in his eyes, he said "sorry" he felt bad too. It wasn't that he didn't want it, its cause the security. So like 10 minutes later I went to Peyton's mom at the merch table and I said "I waited outside in the rain for 3 hours, and my eyes were shut in my picture with Peyton" and she told the security and Peyton's gpaw and the security took me BACKSTAGE. I went BACKSTAGE, IN FRONT OF PEYTON'S DRESSING ROOM. I was crying while I was walking backstage. He said he was really sorry that he couldn't get a picture before. So I got another picture with him. I can't be thankful enough. AFKSLSI9WKOAIWLA IT WAS SOOO AMAZING!!! 12/9/12 = BEST.DAY.EVER. <21

So, it all happened because I won a really big contest for POP Explosion LA. With limo, red carpet, VIP and yea... So, I was meeting my favorite celebrity and I noticed Peyton and I told my friend "Oh my gosh, it's P Sanders!" After I took a picture with my celebrity, P was like "Hi, want a picture?" and he handed me a card with a picture of him and his autograph! I was like "Can we take a picture?" and he agreed. { Picture on left } He performed.  I loved him so much more! SO, during the concert, he came out to meet more fans. So, I asked him for a buddy picture. He was like "Of course!'' and we hugged. { Picture on right } Meeting P Sanders is no longer a dream... it's realty.

My dream came true March 24, 2012 at Playlist Live in Orlando Florida.

Which was absolutely the best day of my life. So my sister and one of my friends were waiting i line to meet April Lockhart, but my sisters decides to get out of lie and go get something. I stayed with my friend in the line, then my sister comes to me excited telling me that Peyton was on the other side of were we were. I started freaking out, getting now nervous more than i already was. I leave with my sister to go and see Peyton, we get there. And there he was Peyton Levi Sanders standing in front of me, i still couldnt believe it that after almost a year of being a PSanderette i was meeting him, it was just unreal. So we get close to him, im shaking, nervous every feeling you can name at this moment. I didnt know what to say lol he was talking to this other girls so while i was thinking of what should i say. Our turn comes and as i told you, i was speechless so i just gave him the scrapbook i mde for him, than we take pictures and i ask him for a hug, by the way he is the sweetest person you will ever meet and he gives the BEST hugs ever(: He signs my EP, bracelets I leave to go buy a poster and another bracelet from his mom and gradma(they are so sweet too :)) By that time i couldnt believe i have actually met my inspiration, my hero, my everything!!!! We get back in line to get my poster and the bracelet signed, by this time my friend was with us. We get to him and he signs my poster and the bracelet and we take more pictures. We leave as im walking away i told him that i loved him and he told me he loved mee too!!! omg haha One of the highlights of the day besides meeting him was that when he was signing my poster i asked him if he knew who i was. He was trying to remember who i was but nothing, he asks me the letter of my first name and i tell him C. He keeps thinking but than he gives up and asks me what was my name and i tell him is Cecilia. Here is the part he tells me he knew who i was by my picture that just made my life! After all that we talked before his performance, which was AMAZING. We were sitting right in front of the stage to right after his performance he passes by and me and friend yell 'good luck Peyton' he turns and looks at us with a smile i will never ever forget. Everything was just PERFECT!!! Peyton i love you<21
