There was a plan...


The plan was to go to a movie at 3:15, dinner at PF Chang's right after and hopefully miss the Valentine's Day rush, nobody eats dinner at 5 pm, right? Wrong. And PF Chang's, I was obviously fooling myself because on the way to the movie at 3, we drove past Olive Garden and Red Lobster, packed. At 3 pm. So any guesses on the wait at PF Chang's? I've gotten 2 1/2 hours before, typical on Valentine's Day in Provo. But no... 4 1/2 hour wait at good old PF Chang's. Are you kidding me? At this point we knew any other restaurant would be the same story, and I couldn't muster up eating at Taco Bell on Valetine's. So me and my spoiled little self convinced Juan to hold out for PF Chang's at 9:45 (they weren't putting us on a waiting list, they were giving us a reservation time, thank goodness, so we were free to leave). We went over to Iggy's and sat at the bar and got some nachos to hold us over for the late dinner, and then we went and saw another movie in the meantime. PF Chang's was more than worth it, by far my favorite restaurant, so the plans changed and the day ended up being eventful and expensive!

As for the movies. #1 Confessions of a Shopaholic, I highly recommend. It was hilarious and the main actress is adorable and so lively. And rated PG, PGs don't usually have that spark for me. #2 He's Just Not That Into You... lame. Ha ha I think I didn't like it as much because I was coming off of a movie that I loved. Juan and I both described this movie as forgettable. Just my thoughts.

Hope everyone had a great Valentine's! Today is my birthday and we're keeping it very low key. Going to a local mexican place in South Jordan, Gecko's, and stopping by to say hi to my family. I'm a homebody, I love low key.

I hope you have a wonderful day Cami! That is just nuts that the wait was so long. I've never had a wait that long. I'm glad it was worth it.

Aaron and I totally agree with the He's just not that into you movie. Definitely not that great. I did like the part when he proposes though. I can't wait to see the Shopaholic movie!!

Happy Birthday! I hope you had a wonderful day. We went out to eat at Olive Garden on V-day and it was a 2 1/2 hour wait, but we got in after an hour. I can't even imagine waiting 4 hours!

Yum - I love PF Chang's! We didn't end up seeing "Shopaholic" yet, but we will soon. I actually really liked "He's Just Not That Into You." I'm sad that you guys didn't!
