10 Year Anniversary Party With Fishing With Ed Band
Chad truly out did himself for our 10 year anniversary in May. We went to Rosemary Beach Florida for a little anniversary getaway and while there we went into Destin to eat with "a few friends".. so I thought...
It turned out to be a party at Harbor Docks with our friends.. complete with none other than the best college band ever --Fishing With Ed! I was beside myself when I walked downstairs and saw them on stage! They have not played together in years- many of their wives have never heard them play together! They were great as always- playing all of the favorites (Bo even broke the rule a played Jupiter Coyote song-"Crazy Women"). It was like they had never gone their separate ways! We especially enjoyed their rendition of Justin Timberlake and SNL's Andy Samburg's little song about a certain Christmas box of fun! The staff at Harbor Docks wanted business cards- I thought Chad might quit his job and try to take FWE on the road again!
The boys traveled many miles (Houston TX, Atlanta Ga, & Port St Joe FL) all to reunite for this one night. It was like it was my rehearsal dinner all over again! These guys from Georgia Tech are truly special!! Chad and I so enjoyed reminiscing over sleeping on the apt floor, Krystal for late night, the Ryder truck, kitchen floors, etc. Getting to catch up with each of them and discussing where life had taken them over the years was fantastic!
Beside the band coming all the way to Florida many of our friends made a special trip also. Cori Brown came all the way from Orlando and rocked a little "Feeling Alright" with the band for old times sake! Les and Beth Spivey happened to be in town from Washington,DC for their vacation! My brother Phil came- he is always fun for a night out! Many of our Madison/Jackson friends and family members made the trip- some even left their kids with new babysitters! So, when I saw all of these friends that helped Chad put this together and then traveled all that way, I was completely overwhelmed! It just goes to show you how lucky we are to have such fantastic people in our lives! I can say that we are so blessed by these people willing to be with us for one special night-again- 10 years after the first time!
I hope the guys will do another stop on the Fishing With Ed Reunion Tour- hint! hint! There are a ton of people that heard about the party and want to see FWE again --along with the lucky group that saw them in Destin!!
I will not be satisfied until I get to do it again- and I don't want to wait 10 more years!
Mississippi State plays Ga Tech in Atlanta on Sept 20th! Wouldn't it be fun to bring both of your favorite FWE audiences together for one magical night!! This time we will take money up at the door- judging by the amount of people that tried to come downstairs and get into our "private party" fun - Boys, you might make enough to pay your bar tabs!!!
