Love Has Its Rewards

For Valentine's Day we went with some friends to Fogo. I have blogged about this restaurant before, it is one of my faves....all the meat that you can eat. It was a wonderful night with a few awesome highlights. First, we got there and we could hardly get in the restaurant it was SOO crowded. There were people who told us they had been waiting for almost two hours to get seated!! BIG shout out to Matt for making a reservation (I won't lie, I was kinda wondering about the people who didn't make a reservation on Valentines, I mean c'mon what were you thinking). Then we sat down and we were seated by Evander Holyfield. He was also enjoying his meat. We were seated on the right side of him but he was facing us, so the missing cutlet was on the other side. But don't worry when he got up to leave, he turned and I saw the missing piece!! It is really small and hardly noticeable...if it hadn't been a major news story for like 6 months. We had a wonderful dinner with AWESOME food and great conversation, THEN as we were preparing to leave, they gave us a special Valentine's coupon, for a free meal for next time! So we will now have to go back! And soon, that coupon expires on April 8!!

Ryan loves to wear his sunglasses and I think part of the reason is because I take pictures of him whenever he puts them on, so from the MANY that I have, here are a couple.

Glad you had a V-Day and thank you so much for mentioning Evander's half-ear....can't think of him without wondering how that ear is doing!

Congrats on being a home owner.....I may own a home one day IN MY 40's! I'm happy for you. Maybe we'll have to come occupy room #1 some time?

ooops, I meant bedroom #2, on closer examination, you didn't have a bedroom #1.
