HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO ME!!

So Darren and I celebrated our Anniversary yesterday.... Twenty long years...... HEE HEE. 

We worked... and ran kids around... and basically had to be parents and responsible adults all day. All I can say is our anniversaries have sure changed from when we were in the married less than five years club.

We were running Nathan out to a nearby town for a horseback riding lesson (yes to earn the horseback riding belt loop and pin as heaven forbid he not get one of the possible awards) and I had been at work until 6:45 and Darren until 6:30 so on the way we were snacking on pop-tarts and he gave me one of his brown sugar ones and I gave him one of my Strawberry flavored ones so I figure our marriage is still strong after all this time. Any man who will eat a cold poptart for dinner and not complain about it is a good man in my book.

We did run to Taco Time later to get something to eat that was real food. It was 9:00 p.m. Darren wanted to go to a sit down place but what is open at 9 pm in Richfield??? Not much. So I made him to go Taco Time. He wanted to go in and sit down. I wanted to get something quick and take it home so we could watch the replay of the BYU-Utah game (which we went to Saturday night so why I wanted to watch us lose again is another mystery of the universe).

I won.

Darren hates the drive through. Remember the Lethal Weapon movies with Mel Gibson? In like the third one they are going through the drive through and the guy (Danny Devito maybe?) yells, "THEY SCREW YOU AT THE DRIVE-THRU!!" and Darren LOVES to repeat this line any time he can. He claims they always mess up your order. I claimed I've never had that problem at Taco Time.

We order.

They hand me out my diet coke. It is a medium. I ordered a large. Now mind you it is 9 am and why I would need a large diet coke at 9 am is another mystery of the universe. I start whining...
 ME: This isn't a large. I ordered a LARGE
DARREN: That IS a large. It is like 32 ounces.
ME: THIS IS NOT A LARGE OKAY!!!
DARREN: HOW BIG OF A DRINK DO YOU THINK YOU NEED? IT IS 32 OUNCES!
ME: (yelling) I PAID FOR A LARGE I WANT A LARGE!!
DARREN: (yelling) THEY SCREW YOU AT THE DRIVE THRU!!!!!

At which point we realize the window of the drive thru is OPEN and the poor little teenager is standing there looking shocked. She was mortified. And apologetic. And apologized for giving me a MEDIUM when I ordered a LARGE. And gave me a new drink Which I drank about 32 ounces of and threw the rest away.

I could not stop laughing.

Darren said, "sometimes it already feels like an eternal marriage doesn't it?"
