Valentine's Day

I spent the best Valentine's Day I think I've ever had with 2 great friends of mine, Ellen and
Dian. We shopped ALL day long. We started at about 8:30, and got dressed up kind of cute (red, white, pink) and then headed off for the Market. We came home to drop all of our bags of groceries off at the house, and then caught another Tapir to go to the Market to just browse. You
see, every time we go to the Market, we always have an agenda, a list, and usually a pretty long one at that. So we perused the Market and had a great time enjoying each other. Afterwards, we hit the peak of the day by going to Church's Chicken, which is a fast food ish place near the Market. It reminded Ellen and I of home so much it's scary. The place was clean, the atmosphere was good, and the food was even better! We all had chicken sandwiches with french fries, and a Pepsi, and then we split this amazing strawberry cheesecake to end an amazing experience. While we were waiting for our food to get done (which took around 20 minutes because they do things right), there was a guy selling jewelry that came into the restaurant off of the street and started trying to sell us jewelry while we're sitting at a table. Then, he started telling us about his life, and how he's a good person, and good people die early, and wicked people live longer, and he's been married to a few rich girls, and everyone should have children young, (he basically started telling me that I needed to have children) that it is a good thing, and boy did
he just go on and on for the longest time. Ellen was going back at him and conversing pretty good with him, but I was kinda trying to stay out of it. The best part, was right before he got kicked out by the lady who was working at Church's. He had been telling us how you couldn't trust the bible because it was written by men and they are people just like you and me, so it wasn't to be believed, and it wasn't true. We all emphatically disagreed with him, but Dian REALLY spoke up and made it clear to him that the bible WAS true and it WAS the word of God. GO DIAN!!!
So, here are some pictures of our lovely time at Church's. We laughed, fellowshiped, dealt with a crazy man, and enjoyed EVERY bite of that amazing chicken sandwich. It might quite possibly be the best thing I have ever eaten in my life. I lie not.




The tower of garbage...oh yeah.

I'm glad you had such a fun, relaxing type of a day. Did you get any strange looks for making a garbage tower?

Not too many strange looks, a few laughs maybe. It was fun. The funniest part was watching Katie try to throw it all away without deconstructing it. She did a pretty good job of it though.
