Love

I really only named the title love since yesterday was Valentine's Day. Brad and I had been together about 6 months and married for 2 when we had our first Valentine's Day together. We decided from the beginning that it just felt like a waste of money for us to buy cards or flowers or whatever else so we have never once celebrated Valentine's Day. But it was still an interesting day. Well, scratch that, I do the same thing day after day but the evening was interesting. We had planned on going to watch my little brother's ballgame that night. So we decided to eat at this little restaraunt on the way there because we have a card where we can buy one basket get one free. So it makes the two of our meals $4.00. When we got there we were surprised to see a couple that we actually usually go to their house once a week. So we sat at the table next to them. Well, after that the service was awful. This is a tiny place and there was probably 6 or 7 tables filled and they were acting like they had no idea how to handle that much business. We got there about 15 minutes after 6 and the game started at 7. The school was less than five minutes away. We waited over thirty minutes before we got our food. I was getting so angry. It was 7:00 before we got the food and I was just getting ready to go tell them that we couldnt wait any longer and to just cancel our order when they started walking our way with it. I usually don't mind saying stuff when it comes down to something like that but I knew who the waitress was and we were already getting one of our meals for free so I was hesitant. Thankfully, we didn't miss too much of the game. It was at the very end of the first quarter (still completely aggravating) so we got to the see three out of the four quarters. And my brother's team won! It was the area championship game so they won the championship and my brother got an award for the all-tournament team.
So we did end up doing something I love to do on Valentine's Day and we even went out to eat for dinner. Unfortunately, we almost HATE eating out anywhere now because every single time we deal with something like that. Last time it was a waiter who NEVER returned to our table but waited on the table behind us constantly. If it wasn't for wanting date nights out we would seriously consider never eating out again.
