Friday Fun

Although I received my dating anniversary present last weekend, Bryan still planned on taking me to Mike Shanahan's restaurant for dinner. We had been wanting to go, but it cost a lot of money, so we saved it for a special occasion. We got fancied up and headed over there.

When we checked in they said, "Oh, celebrating an anniversary? Congrats!" The hostess took us to our seats, said congratulations, told me I had on a pretty dress, and then gave us an anniversary card. Apparently they like when people celebrate things at their restaurant:

Our waiter was Shane and he said Happy Anniversary to us too. It was funny. We learned a lot about him. He has an internship with the Nuggets and he works at the restaurant 40 hours a week as well. He just moved here from California, he is 24, etc. He must make good money! He was great!

I splurged and got a daquiri which was huge but delicious (that sounds bad). I do not understand why some places put cherries into the strawberry daquiris.

I was planning on having the filet, but then Shane did some sales pitch about some amazing steak they have that is not on the menu. I guess beef is rated on a 1-12 scale, and most really high end steaks like Kobe beef are an 8. This one was apparently a 10. He said it was the best steak he has ever had and he has worked in NYC, Las Vegas, etc. I am a sucker so I ordered it.

Here are some pics of Bryan and I. Note that we do not usually sit on the same side of a booth when eating but the glare was horrible coming in from the window so we sat next to each other. Normally I make fun of couples who do this.

After dinner, Shane said he had one more thing for us. He brought out the biggest piece of cake I had ever seen. It was chocolate cake so Bryan was in heaven.

After we got out of dinner we saw just how much rain had fallen in a short time. The streets were flooded and it was still pouring!

Beth wanted us to come over for some games at her friends place so we went over in our fancy clothes. We played Scattegories which Bryan and Beth had never played. That gave us a lot of laughs! Bryan brought up bowling and so we went bowling. In our fancy clothes. I felt a little out of place. I did pretty well for having on a dress and really long nails. No nails were broken. Phew!

I love the people in the back of Tim and Beth. They are happy:

What a fun night! I hope every anniversary is this fun :)
