He was probably around 6 foot. My husband is 6'1" and he is very close to my husband's height. I am 5'9" and had to reach up to hug him. Yes ladies, I hugged him !!!!!! uh.....in front of my husband.

I'm waiting for the doorbell to ring - again - so I just came on to find your great news! Congrats to all of you, and what a wonderful thing you'll always have to remember. I used to live in SA and visited Austin several times. When we moved up north, our next door neighbors, whom we absolutely adored, moved down to Austin! It's a great city with all kinds of things to do. Now I'm missing Texas.

It's good to know Brad is so great IRL. You guys really put the "real" in reality TV and helped us remember these are real people. He has a younger brother too - do you know how old he is?

Thanks for sharing and putting a big smile on my face tonight!

(I actually got to type this without missing any trick-or-treaters!)

Um, I have no idea Jewelsy. All this hugging and no smelling. According to my husband he has no idea and why am I asking him.

I can't stop! I can't breathe!!!

I'm back and thanks to Blondie, Jelle and grneyedgirl AND Jason for answering so many questions and thanks to everyone for sharing in our excitement and "amazing" (that's for you MsFroggy

) experience.
I'll address a few things asked. I had the PRIVILEGE of getting to sit next to Brad and Jason at dinner and I honestly can't remember any particular cologne or scent (quit laughing Jason

), but they did smell great!! They are both very funny. I teasingly asked Brad at the point when he said amazing if they actually coach him or give him a "book" of Bachelor phrases. He said they didn't but when you get caught up in it, these terms come easily (not exact wording!!

).
His eyes really are that blue!! Again, amazing!!
I bragged about the FORT and all the nice things that are said, but we advised him to stay away from the boards. I believe Jason is doing a great job of keeping us up to date w/ appearances and correcting errors about Brad that are relevant. Brad though was very aware of the FORT and they did make us sound like celebrities when they announced at the bar that special guests of the bachelor (and I'm pretty sure they mentioned Sleuthers from the FORT or something like that!! ) It was wild.
Another great impression I got was how nicely Brad handled crazy fans and intrusive fans and general fans who approach him. What a guy!!!

He even graciously talked to a guy and his wife on the phone who approached our table at the restaurant. I asked if that bugged him and he said, no it was all part of it and he really seemed to be enjoying himself.
Jason, I don't think we can one up each other on who had the most fun .. but I think we can call it an equal adoration!!
Thank you both for considering us as real friends, it goes without saying that I came away from the night feeling the same way!!
