2 Years and Going Strong.

Matt and I had a wonderful anniversary. Matt had the day off from work so we spent the morning car shopping. Matt (on his own) decided it would be better to have a more family friendly car, so we went from dealership to dealership looking for a truck.

The first place we went tried to scam us but of course we saw right through it. I hate it when car salesmen try to tell you there is no other deal like this and it is once in a life time. There is always another deal out there. The guy told us we could get a lot for the trade in on the mustang but the price of the car never went down. After we left there we went home to blue book the truck to see what it was really worth. He was trying to sell us this used truck for 6,000 more than the suggested retail.

Next we went to Ken Garff and they were super nice and friendly. They did not try to pressure us into something we really did not want. Unfortunately we did not find the truck we wanted. We looked at a few more places but then finally we found her at the Larry H. Miller truck dealership. She is a 2007 Ford F150 Lariat edition, four-door super crew, stone gray and leather seats.

Everything that day did not go perfectly because when we decided we wanted to buy the truck it was already 5:00 and the guy told us he could get us out in 15 minutes and we believed him. We had a dinner reservation at 6:30 and I still had to get ready. The Anniversary in was still 15 to 20 minutes from where we were. We finally left the dealership at 6:15. We did call and had our reservations changed to 7:45.

We checked into the hotel and quickly took showers and got ready. We did not even get to enjoy the room because we were in such a hurry.

We ate dinner at a restaurant in Cottonwood Heights called Tuscany. It was super fancy and more expensive than we were expecting. But the dealership said they would pay for our dinner since they made us late. It was the best dinner I have ever had. Matt ate a 53 dollar rib-eye steak. That does not include the salad. I had the ravioli and it was so delicious. The overall bill was 130 dollars with the tip and the valet parking. A funny side note: Matt and I dressed up all fancy and when we walked in no one else was dressed up. Most people were in business casual attire. We did not care because it made us feel good to be all dolled up for once.

We returned to the hotel at about 10:00 and by then I am exhausted. Matt and I cuddled and just enjoyed each others company. We finally decided to go to bed around 11:30, so we turned off the TV and tried to go to sleep. The room next to us was playing their rap music so loud it sounded like it was coming from the speakers in our room. At first we thought it was coming from outside but when Matt went in the hall way he say there door was cracked open and some inappropriate noises were coming from inside. They must have been trying to hide what there were doing behind the music. We did call down to the desk and had them turn down the music. Overall it was a great night and anniversary.
