Giants

Most of you know that the New York Giants are my favorite NFL team. I have loved them as long as I can remember, before my little brother was born. So, moving here-going to a game was on my nyc bucket list. I don't even know where to start, but my boss that I am working with now is one of the Giant's team consulters. I started hinting when I started the rotation about my bucket list. Somehow through all this-he scored me a sideline pass to for the game against the redskins. Never been done in the history of my work and his 15+ year history helping the G-men out. Holy cow-better than my dreams would even allow me to imagine. First question was what will I be doing? Second, what will i wear? Neither of which my boss could help with. So, I meet up with the guys like me that normally help with Giants each week for the day of play by play. I also consulted my fashion guru Becky for outfit help. Have to say-all took great care of me!!! Here's a pic of my top half, wore leggings and ankle boots on bottom. Oh yeah, that's part of the locker room!

Here's my badge that I had to wear to have all the access I did. Day started by walking into the locker room, the first people I saw were Eli and Brandon Jacobs. I was not only star struck, but overwhelmed by how big these guys are in real life. They are huge!! We hung out in a room in the back where all the players swing through, so I got to meet and talk to more than 3/4 of the team. What an experience and the game hadn't even started! Next we headed out onto the field to meet the guys like us for the skins. I literally walked across the field that my favorite team plays on. My boss took a pic of us (I'm trying to get it, if so-I'll add it!) and then we went back to our sideline to start the game!! The actual game stunk. They lost. Got to hear Coughlin's post game speech, you know why they won the next week after hearing that!
Here's my souvenir, they gave us all these pre-game. I actually never wore mine, but will wear it proudly in the future!

This day was literally top 10 in my life and maybe top 1-2 here. Really shows how dreams come true, no matter how big they are!

  1. I love this post! When one can check off a bucket list item, that's a great thing! (And your jacket is awesome.)
