When Braden and I were dating, we started a tradition to have pizza every Friday night followed by an activity of some sort. Now that we are married, we have decided to carry on this tradition, so this Friday was no different. Well sort of . . .
You see, this past Friday was a little different than we are used to. During this past week, we have been in constant contact with my brother and UPS because he sent me a wedding/birthday gift via one day shipping on Amazon that we have yet to receive.
Friday was the final straw, and after calling UPS we were told that the driver who delivered our package on Thursday would come by to retrace his steps and talk to us about where the package might have gone. We were told that he would come between 4:30 and 6:30, and I had to go and get Braden from work at 4, then we wanted to go get some pizza.
We got home and the UPS guy arrived shortly after and assured us that he had left the package right on our doorstep and that someone must have stolen it (we had asked our neighbors if they had kept it for us in their house, and no one had).
GREAT!
Of course my thoughts immediately rushed to the sketchy Bar that we live behind and the people who may frequent it . . . How could this night get any worse?
After going to pizza and Barnes and Noble, we came back home. While I was in the bathroom, prepping for that night's activity, I heard someone bang on our apartment door like it was the cops! Two seconds later, Braden was telling me to come out of the bathroom because we had to evacuate the building.
Low and behold, it was the cops at our door because one of the apartments on our level was in fact, ON FIRE! the fire department closed off the street and the whole complex was evacuated. We waited across the street for 45 minutes to get back in. The night was ruined after that . . .
But one good thing came out of it. At least we didn't have to hear the Friday night karaokee blasting from the bar this week because of the sirens and commotion.
So, date nights as a married person are pretty much the same as dating, but with tons more excitement!
