Wow! I had such an awesome night last night!

Walked by Michael Phelps and almost wet my pants! Literally like 3 feet away. He was definitely in his own world pre-swim!

Saw him again after his race walking to talk to the media. About 3 feet away!!

Watched Ryan Lochte be interviewed right after his swim.

Congratulated Missy Franklin (even though we aren't supposed to, this was way after the meet ended so my volunteer buddies and decided we should! I kept seeing her all night too! Awesome!

Saw Aaron Peirsol and shook his hand and he introduced himself, super nice guy and super cute!

Met an amazing volunteer from Baltimore who happens to know my brother in law who lives in Omaha (they work for the same company). It just proves it's a small, small world!

Was able to get some Olympic swimming pin souvenirs!

Here is a not so glamourous picture of me standing where the winners walk through to talk to media (I was a sweaty mess because we have to walk through the area making sure there is enough water and poweade for atheletes, a great job to see some famous people!!):
