Yesterday, our tax team went to an accounting luncheon. Exciting huh? Well, turns out this one was one we were glad we attended. As we walked in the door the room was buzzing, someone exciting was there. Melissa immediately said, "It's Eddie Sutton". If anyone knows this girl she is one of the biggest OSU sports fans I know. We all sat down at our table, noticing he was only a few tables away. The whole time Melissa and I were whispering about him. It is funny how people act around celebrities (at least he is in our eyes). During the speech I started to think, you know this may be one of the only times I am around this guy without a hundred other people. I started to pump myself up to go ahead and ask for a picture. I mean what's the harm. So as soon as the luncheon was over. I asked Melissa, "hey, wanna see if he will take a picture with us". She reponded with a laugh like you are a little crazy but for sure I do. We were in line picking up our credit for attending, so Eddie had a head start on us. Well that didn't stop crazy Amy by then I was pumped full of courage. So off I went chasing after Eddie, with Melissa cracking up not far behind. Jake (another OSU grad) spotted what was going on and followed along. I finally caught up with Eddie and asked, "sir, we are all OSU graduates, could we please take a picture with you?" He responded with "of course!" He was so happy to take the picture with us, and even talked with us a few minutes about the good old days (when OSU was actually good at basketball). Then he thanked us for the time and went on about his day. What a nice man! Just another day in the life of an accountant.
