As some of you know, Kolby and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary a couple of weeks ago on August 26. We were married in Utopia, TX on August 26, 2006 at a beautiful ceremony on Sabinal River. (The pic is not the best quality since it was not a direct upload, but it's the only one I have on this computer...)
This year our anniversary fell on a Wednesday, so originally we had planned to celebrate the weekend before or after. However, our plans changed and needless to say those plans got tossed out the window. So, this past Friday, we decided to go out to eat in celebration of our anniversary. Kolby wanted to go to Red Lobster since he'd been seeing all the comercials for their Endless Shrimp Platter. We all know Kolby loves his seafood!! I on the other hand am not the biggest fan of seafood, but I was supportive...*wink* I got some fabulous cajun chicken alfredo that was delicious!
But backtrack, just one sec...when we arrived at Red Lobster, we had a 30-45 minute wait to look forward to. So we went to the bar area so that Kolby could get a drink. The bar was full, so there was no seats available there either. There was a man sitting at a table by himself right next the bar, so Kolby asked him if he could use his table for a writing surface to sign our receipt. He then invited us to sit with him while we waited to be seated. We sat with him and chatted about this and that, and the guys were talking about different beers, and things way beyond my knowledge...haha. We bought him a beer to thank him for letting us crash his dinner, and we went to be seated at our table. When he left, he came over to our table and said goodbye and it was nice to share his dinner with us. We said the same and went to eating our dinner.
As we finished our dinner, our waiter came and said that he had "some good news and some bad news, which do you want first?" We chose the good news obviously! He said "that nice gentleman you were sitting with at the bar paid for your entire dinner tab, the bad news is that he didn't give the tip!" We couldn't believe it!!!! He paid for our entire ticket, food and drinks! He was the sweetest man! We don't even know his name, and we don't think he knew ours, but he did the nicest thing! Today we still can't believe that he did that!!!
So as the title of this post says, Just a little side note to say that there are still nice, selfless people out there! So to that man I'm sending out a big THANK YOU!!! You made our day!!!!
