Work was pretty slow this week. I was also quite tired due to only getting four hours of sleep last night. As soon as I got home I took a short nap and then we headed out to Stoney River at 6pm but I called first to get placed on 'call-ahead' seating. The girl said that we should arrive at 7:30pm. It didn't take us as long to drive up there as we thought so we stopped at Hobby Lobby. Jen bought some items for Katie's wedding and then we headed over to Stoney River across the street.
When I checked in, we were told that we would be seated by 8pm. So I ordered a glass of wine for Jen and I to share as we sat outside. Another group of people waiting outside saw us sitting on the bench and offered to take our photo. That was nice of them!

We didn't actually get seated until 8:30pm or so. It doesn't look as if the call-ahead seating makes any difference. On top of that, our waiter was sub-par - nothing like I would expect for Stoney River. He never even brought the little cake they give when it's someones birthday despite me telling the hostesses this twice and Jen telling the waiter when we were seated. It isn't that big of a deal, but I would not expect that to happen at Stoney River based on my experience from many prior visits.
Other than that we had a really nice dinner. We both ordered the fliet and had that with a salad. I gave Jennifer her presents and she really liked them. I got her a new pink razr phone, a bluetooth headset, and the Nike iPod running thing. She was super excited about the phone. I think that she will also really enjoy the iPod running thing once she begins to use it.
After dinner Jen wanted to swing by her parent's house. I was very tired but agreed to go along with the plan. We didn't get home until about 11:45pm and I went straight to bed.
