Trav's 34th birthday...






Good grief, when did we get so old? Trav just turned 34 on the 29th! We went out to Olive Garden for dinner while G-ma & G-pa watched the kids for a hour and 1/2 for us. That's what Trav wanted more than anything, so I saved my pennies and had a $4.00 off coupon I was excited to use. If you know me, you know the only thing I order from there is their Chicken alfredo pizza which is to die for (but did you know they stopped serving it with the alfredo sauce? you can still ask for it though!) The past few b-day parties that have been celebrated there, i was sad to see my pizza under cooked. I'm not one to make a scene about anything, so the first pizza i ate, but was sadly disappointed in the doughyness. the second party I went to- I ordered it again, and AGAIN it was under cooked- but this time I asked them to bake it just a minute or two longer.

So when Trav & I were waiting to order, I debated if I should say anything or not. When our waiter came, I told him about my love for the pizza, but how it had been under cooked in the past and could they cook it just a tad bit longer- not burnt, but just a little bit more? Long story short, the pizza came out with black crust. Our waiter was mortified. I gave it a taste, after removing the crust and it was good enough to eat. It was slightly not ok on the bottom, but I could still eat it and I was fine with it. He kept coming back to the table and shaking his head saying it just wasn't right. Even the manager came out and looked at it. Seriously, I wasn't making a deal about it at all and they kept coming over to us and talking about it. I tried to reassure them I was fine, but I guess it was too much for them and they subtracted it from our bill! It was pretty sweet of them. I was just excited for the cheap dinner!
Happy Birthday sweet man.
