Airport Tarmacs

OK... so you are going to think I am the biggest dork, but really I am ok with that, this was one of the coolest things I have done (at least so far in Oklahoma)! I have always wanted to work at the airport; directing the planes in, or loading/unloading the baggage, I just want to be on the tarmac with the planes. i just find it fascinating, but of course only for a day! Well, I got my chance! It was really fun! Chick-fil-a does some cool things. We first prepared a light snack for the University of Texas, El Paso (UTEP) football team; which included 2 chick-fil-a sandwiches, a bag of chips and a brownie. They wanted it to be light before they practiced! Once we got all that together (without the sandwiches, we wanted them to be hot and fresh) we headed to the airport, Where we were escorted onto the tarmac. We then set up chick-fil-a tables with all the bags. We were handed earplugs for when the plane arrived. The plane actually pulled up right next to us, it was very cool! Unfortunately the plane was 10 minutes early, so the sandwiches arrived as the plane arrived. I don't remember much after that because the players were coming off the plane, I was throwing sandwiches into bags and Stacie was handing them out! It was a little chaotic! I didn't even get to see the players, everything was happening so fast! But it was one of the coolest things I have done! I can't wait to do it again! Hopefully next time we will have the sandwiches all packed and I can help hand them to the players!!!

Too bad it wasn't for the UTEP girls soccer team. That is who my sister Amanda plays for. I know she was just in Tulsa a few weeks ago to play.
