What is this…the‘Make a Wish flight?

Just had a totally surreal experience.  (Besides the fact that I’m traveling to MD Anderson for cancer reasons with my 41 year old hubby.) 

 We arrived at the ‘terminal’ for our corporate jet-setting…arrived about half hour early and we were first travelers there.  It’s just an itsy bitsy airport in the middle of almost nowhere… self-standing building…very nicely appointed, mind you…definitely the way to travel…all of two employees.  It was just Scott and I and an older couple in the little waiting room at this point;  I look up to see a tall handsome guy in sunglasses (tshirt, skinny jeans, boots….he’s pretty thin…not in a bad way) who looks a ton like Ben Affleck, especially after sunglasses are off.  He is asking a question of the one employee, an older gentleman (also ‘head of security’) some questions about a flight.  I looked at him again…and flicked my eyes over Scott, telepathically asking him “Are you thinking the same thing I am?...that that guy looks just like Ben Affleck?’ and Scott telepathically answers ‘yep…but please don’t embarrass me.’  So I stroll across the room, pretending to get another coke at the refreshment station, and position myself where I can be out of “Ben’s” eyeshot and telepathically exclaim to my husb and, ‘What on earth is he doing here??’  Scott shrugs his shoulders, and Ben thanks the employee and walks out to his black suv and pulls around to where you can drive on the tarmac and pulls up to a jet that’s landed.   (in the meantime, the employee, whom I’ve befriended by now has verified that it is him.)  

 Off a nearby jet on the tarmac comes…no way….Jennifer Garner and two blonde kids…and they hug and he hugs his kiddos like any normal daddy…and then he puts the car seats in the suv, like any normal daddy.  He thanked the crew that had flown his family.  They were probably on the tarmac for about 10 mins….with just me and a 60  year old woman taking pictures....we were far enough down on the tarmac that I tried to tell myself I might not look like a freak.  And then off the little Bennifer family drove….who knows why in OK??  Not worth my husband having to deal with melanoma, of course, but still cool.  

Keep in mind....this is Bartlesville, OK....teeny tiny private airport with his whole family....so surreal. Scott said his boots were really muddy and someone else thought they'd heard of 'film locale scouting' being done somewhere in the area.  I honestly hated to cut in to their family's privacy and hated to instantly FB it, but I did wait til they were gone.  teehee :)  

Now back to reality....the flight was perfect...and we had volunteers from a sister organization (of Corporate Angel Network) pick us up at the terminal and drive us to to the front door of our hotel.  Which is beautiful!  We're in the heart of downtown Houston, connected to the Texas Med Center.  When we checked in, the lovely girl behind the counter asks with a smile, "And will the 17th floor be satisfactory?"  Oh, I guess.  It is beyond fabulous....and if you know my friend Schmissy, please give her a loud smack right on the cheek for me.  A kiss, not a slap.  And on her face..not..oh stop it.!

Love to all and I'll update as we go.  Oh, dr's appt was at 9 am and they called to bump it to 1 pm.  Yea...get to sleep in!  God is good. :)
