A fun Saturday Night

Last Thursday was my wonderful Mother-in-law's birthday, so to celebrate my father-in-law took Samantha(MIL), Matthew(BIL) Josh and myself out to eat at Outback in Jackson TN. We were hoping to beat the rush from the usual Saturday night crowd as well as the added rush of Valentine's crowd! So we got to the restaurant what we thought was early. It was 3:30 in the afternoon...smart right...We pull up and if everyone else in the city of Jackson and surrounding areas had the same idea! We went in and put our name on the waiting list and there was no where to stand much less sit. I asked the guy how long it would be and he said about 60-70 mins. Ok OK so an hour was not too bad to wait, so we decided to hang out in the car.
As we sat there and waited fr our name to be called, I saw a girl who looked familiar! She walked in the door and then came back out...then I realized who it was! She was one of my sorority sisters! I opened the car door and yelled KARA!! She looked scared, like how does anyone here know my name! I jumped out and ran to give her a hug. It was so good to see her. I met her boyfriend(hopefully soon to be fiance!).
They decided not to wait to eat, by that time the wait time had grown to 2 hours. We waited only about 20 more minutes and then our name was called! Finally, we were all hungry. Our stomachs were growling! We went in and the hostess was kind of rude to me when I went to return our buzzer thing. I said "Howell, party of 5." And she said "I have Howell party of 2." I looked around at my mother-in-law and she said "Well our buzzer is blinking and Howell party of 5 was called." Then the girl proceeded to ignore us for the next couple of seconds so I said, "We have been waiting for close to 2 hours." And the girl looked right at me and smirked and said, "Its been 1 hour and 15 minutes." Whatever happened to the customer is ALWAYS right. It felt like 2 hours, when we were sitting in the car waiting to eat. We hadnt eaten since breakfast because we thought we would get in fairly quickly! Needless to say, we got our table, a small booth with a chair at the end, but I am not complaining! I got to eat, for Free!! Thanks to my in laws!
I hope my mother-in-law has had a great birthday! I wish her all the happiness in the world! I truly have the best in-laws! I hope everyone has a great Valentines Day tomorrow! Enjoy being with your loved ones!
