Happy Birthday.. Eat some raw chicken

I know that I haven't updated my blog in a long time. Life has been so busy, with my aunt in and out of the hospital, trying to move her, etc.... (I know that Cristin was probably about to take me off her blog list because I haven't updated)

So today is Tyler's 28th Birthday. we have had a great day. He invited me to go out to eat with his coworkers and his friend Spencer to J.J. Brewsky's, which is down the street from our house.. It was good. Lizette enjoyed eating Spencer's fries. But for dinner I wanted to go somewhere with just Tyler and I. We haven't been out just the two of us in MONTHS. We decided to go to Olive Garden, we hadn't been there in at least a year, probably longer. It used to be one of Tyler's FAVORITE restaurants. He took me there all the time when we were dating and engaged.

We dropped off Lizette at the Grandma Diane's and Grandpa Tickles' house and we were off. Since it was such a long time since we have been out just the two of us, we thought it was so quiet in the car. So we got to Olive Garden and ordered. I got the Tuscan Garlic Chicken with steamed squash instead of pasta (WHICH WAS DELICIOUS) and Tyler got his usual Chicken Scampi. Half way through the meal, Tyler noticed that his one of his chicken breast wasn't cooked. We said something to our waitress and she was very apologetic and took Tyler's plate. I already ate half my meal and was done. The manager of Olive Garden came to our table and said how sorry she was and that she would make sure that everything was cooked all the way, then she offered to make my meal over again as well. I said no, and that I was fine. (Then I thought about it, I should have said yes...WHAT WAS I THINKING!)

I couple of minutes later the manager comes out with Tyler's food and said not to worry about the bill that it was already taken care of... Then I was really regretting not asking for my meal to be remade.. Tyler ate two bites then asked for a box for both of our meals, then they brought out dessert for his birthday. We ended up leaving a tip for the waitress. So we ended up paying $6.00 for a $50 dollar meal. Not Bad..

On the way home I told Tyler that we need to bring raw chicken in a baggy next time and when we are all done with dinner, throw the raw chicken on the plate. THEN ta-dah.... FREE MEAL... Okay not really, but it is funny to joke about...

Here are some pictures of young Tyler.

Happy Birthday Tyler!-Wow your getting old. (jk) That sucks about Olive Garden that really turns me off to eating there, even though I am sure it's a one time thing.
