On Wednesday, my husband and I celebrated our 9 year wedding anniversary. It sure does seem as though time has flown by way too fast. We have two beautiful children now and are as busy as ever. Since our anniversary fell on a weekend, we chose to go out and celebrate our anniversary this weekend. I barely even saw him on our actual anniversary. He is working days so I didn't seem all day because he was at work. I have volunteered to help cook Wednesday night meals at our church, went to our class after supper and attended choir practice. So needless to say, we didn't spend that much time together.
Here comes Friday. We dropped the kids off at Granny and Grandpa's house and headed off to Carrabba's. I love this restaurant but since it is a little on the pricey side and we have to drive a little over 30 minutes, we only go for special occasions. Either Valentine's Day or Anniversary dates. We did call a ahead seating since we couldn't get up there till after 7 that evening. I am glad that we did. We got there and I am not sure how long the normal wait was but we only had to wait maybe about 15 to 20 minutes tops.
We sit down and order our meal. I normally always get the steak. Of course, that is what I got this time. When our meal was brought to our table, I cut into my steak and it was over cooked. No big deal just sent it back to be recooked how I ordered. I was in no way upset that it was cooked wrong. When you are cooking for over 100 people a night, it is bound to happen at least once or twice. Not long after I sent my steak back to be recooked the kitchen manager came to our table and apologized for my steak not being cooked properly. Like I said before, it wasn't a big deal and I told him that. He even offered to recook my husband's food so it would be hot when mine was finished. Brad declined the offer because it really wasn't necessary. It wouldn't take that long for my steak to be finished but it was nice for him to offer.
The manager was the one that brought my steak out to me once it was finished for the second time and it was perfect then. He said that thanks for being so understanding and apologized once again. When he left, I was more in shock over the fact that he was surprised I wasn't upset that it wasn't cooked the way that I ordered it. Things happen and getting upset over it will definitely not help the situation. I wasn't expected him to take my steak off our ticket but he did. I have never been disappointed in service from here. If you haven't been before, you should definitely try it. Especially the garlic mashed potatoes. Oh my gosh!!! Once you try them, you will know what I am talking about.
Since we rarely go to the movies, we decided we would go see one. We decided on Elysium with Matt Damon in it. I didn't see the preview prior to going to see the movie so to be honest, I was a little skeptical about watching it. Brad was really wanting to see it so that is what we watched. I am glad that we did because I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. It was such a good movie minus all the cussing. I couldn't tell you how many times they used the f word and there was a few times that used the Lord's name in vain. That I was not happy with but other than those few things, it was a great movie.
It was basically a futuristic movie about how the rich felt as though they were better than everyone else. When things went south on Earth, they were able to afford to build an escape in outer space and you basically had to be rich or you were considered scum to them. They didn't even want you to breathe on them. The people that were left on Earth were trying to once again bring everyone together and everyone be treated equal. If you have a chance, you should go see it. Other than the cussing, it was a really good movie.
Even though I really enjoyed spending time with my husband, I really missed my kiddos so when time came to get them. I was more than ready.
