we just got home from applebee's. sounds like a pretty special valentine's day, huh?
well, for us, it is. everyone knows that the real estate market isn't exactly buzzing. and so we're not exactly having dinner out as much right now. and applebee's has always been there for us. here's just a sample of all the occasions that have made applebee's so close to our collective coates hearts.
when matthew and i were in college, and first married, it was a perfect gathering place for friends, and a good cheap newleywed date place. matthew had a long standing addiction to their banana milkshakes from when he was a server at the og (olive garden)- as an after work hangout. we even went there after my sister's college graduation. and for a few birthdays along the way.
then, when matthew and i moved to chandler, and eventually had toby, we spent many late nights (sleeping baby in tow) at applebee's enjoying their late night happy hour. it was a good way for us to relax and talk and get me out of the house after a long day with a new baby.
we've had business brainstorming meetings there, and even a few difficult conversations across those familiar wooden tables. we ended up at applebee's one new year's eve, after being too bored, cold, or otherwise not engaged in the festivities around us. and tonight, we had valentine's night dinner there, in a booth at applebee's, down the street from our new home.
just me and my 3 valentines!
