Date #15: Thursday, 9 April
Shane, 26, SLCC Student and Server
About four years ago, two guys moved into my singles ward - Kendall and Shane. They were best friends, and really cool! Everyone liked them. Shane went on a mission, serving the same time as me. We kept in touch, writing back and forth and exchanging pictures from the mish. I'd show them to my comp, Sister Browning. After she came home, she married a guy named Jordan. He has a cousin named Kendall. Who has a best friend named Shane. Imagine the surprise when she discovered he knew someone in her mission, who just happened to be her old comp Sister Butler (that's me)! Crazy!!
After reconnecting at the wedding reception, Shane called me and asked me out. I was dating someone at the time, so it was put off... until now. He picked me up at my house and we went for a bite to eat. At the Cheesecake Factory! I adore the Cheesecake Factory! Forget the cheesecake, their food is amazing!! I got the Chicken Bellagio; he the Crispy Chicken... yumminess. I don't know it's real name, but I'm getting it when I go back! He's become quite the foodie from working at a restaurant, but I don't mind. I love foodies. Especially when they share! Our food came on platters; we decided to forgo all restraint, and eat half, then trade. (I'm not even going to calculate how many days worth of calories we ate! But I'm guessing too many.)
Between bites we chatted about our mission experiences, our common friends, our love of food, our quirky waitress, among other topics. It was fun, and I discovered that Shane is one of many great guys that I am privilaged to know! We got a Chocolate Raspberry cheesecake to go, and he took me to "that domey thingy in Draper". Some also know it as the "Whisper Dome" or that big gazebo in Draper park. It's really a romantic little spot, and really cool, too! You gotta try this thing! It's acoustics are better than the tabernacle! We played with that, and then ate our cheesecake, and ended the night passing on our acoustic knowledge to another couple, then driving home. It just goes to show that you don't have to have some elaborately planned to-do, to do something great on a date.

Is that crispy chicken yumminess happen to be the kind served with a lemon sauce? Ryan and I were quite privileged ourselves to go to the Cheesecake Factory this weekend, and wowie! I love it, too! It's like a once a year indulgence for me(kinda pricey for us, so special occasion place). Anyway, his dish reminded me of what I had(and will probably have for lunch tomorrow :))
YES!! That's the one! Isn't it amazing!?
