I just thought I would...

"I don't mean to interrupt."
"I just thought I would drop by to see them joining my program."

I tried to interpret I just thought I would but I think that I dropped by to see... is enough to mean the same thing or is there a reason I just thought I would structure is used? And I feel like the structure sounds a little bit modest. What do you think? Could you help me out?

Thank you.
