Burgers and Wild Things

So on Friday night Matthew and I went out on a date. We used some coupons we got in the mail to go to Burger King and then we headed over to Sugarhouse so we could go watch the movie we were too tired to watch the previous weekend. When we were ordering our food at Burger King I turned and asked Matthew if he would rather have onion rings or french fries and the cashier said,"We can give you half and half if you like." Then Matthew and I replied, "You can do that?" And he said, "Sure, this is Burger King." That made me laugh because he was implying that anything is possible at Burger King and was completely in line with their slogan of "Have it your way". We were very impressed.

During dinner we enjoyed talking about what has been going on with Matthew's new work experience. After Matthew talked with Fastenal about going back to part time we were sure that they would just fire him. We weren't too concerned with this because Matthew still has some connections with Access RV and his old boss Scott made it seem like there would be a position available if Matthew needed it. Then on Monday when Matthew went to Fastenal they had decided that they would keep him on. We were shocked but happy that he still had work. Later in the week Matthew got a call from Scott at Access RV asking how teaching was going and more importantly to him, if Matthew would be willing to come back and work for him. Now Matthew LOVES Access RV and I was quite surprised he didn't just jump in and say yes, but he was smart and told Scott that he needed to take some time to think about it and figure out what was best for us. While at Burger King Matthew was asking me what I thought and I told him that I wanted him to be happy. There are pros and cons of both companies and either way I feel we will be just fine. Matthew feels at the moment he should wait and decide until he has a better idea about how much the student teaching would be paying him and Fastenal could find some more people because the are already short staffed.

After dinner we headed toward the movie theater. We got our tickets for Where the Wild Things Are and when we got into the theater we noticed that there some people saving a lot of seats. Within 10 or 15 minutes the theater was filled with at least 50 or so children. The movie was very enjoyable.
