Favorite Place (Spokane)

 

One of my favorite things to do in Spokane is eat at my favorite restaurant called Anthony’s. When I lived here in Spokane once a week I would go eat there with a friend for Happy Hour. We spent hours there talking about work, life and everything in between. This week we went back and I was so excited to find out they still had their Happy hour special.

They have a $5 dollar Happy Hour menu that has twenty items to pick from.

The best thing about it is that there is no order limit and the serving sizes are pretty big.

Round 1 : Calamari,Clams, Salmon Burger and  Oyster Shooters

Round 2: Spinach dip and Bread, more Oyster Shooters, Clams and Calamari

 The view from the restaurant is amazing!

I love this place and it is the best restaurant I have ever been to. I am going to go back atleast one more time before I head out to Seattle.

Banned from Online Dating

 
  

On Saturday I was sitting with my friend watching TV and within the 15 minutes we saw four different commercials for online dating sites. My friend, I am going to call her Poo (because that’s my nickname for her) asked me why I haven’t tried any of them. I previously wrote about my search for a significant other in   Where is He part I &  Part II. At that time I felt like I was the only girl in the world without a man. I tired of being solo so I went to a place I thought I would never go; the world of online dating. I am not one to keep secrets so I had to confess. In the last year I have tried five different sites for online dating. All of them were a fail.

The sites I tried

Plenty of fish- Full of gross men looking for a good time….I lasted three hours before I got rid of the account.
Okcupid- No problems but nothing came out of it
Match.com- I made one really awesome friend from this one and a few other dates.
Christian café- Met this awesome guy and I learned a lot about myself through that friendship.
All these attempts made me realize that I was 1. Not ready for a relationship 2. I was starting to be a little desperate

Back to the story

The last commercial we saw was for Christian Mingle which happened to be one of the sites I hadn’t tried. Poo then suggested that I should give it a try and I agreed. I was curious to see if this site really was full of “Christian men”. I also have to admit that part of me was thinking maybe something good could come out of it. Despite the fact that I already promised myself I would focus on other things, I made a profile. My first day on the site I got an email from someone. I looked over his profile and he seemed like a nice guy but I held off emailing him back. After two days of thinking about it I decided I would give him a chance and send a response email. I went to log into my account and like a goober I forgot my password. Long story short I was locked out and the site admin told me that the only way to unlock my account was for me to send copies of two forms of ID …..UH, I THINK NOT.

 The moral of the story

When a door closes it is for a reason. I am again reassured that it is not my time. I am also now am convinced that I am not meant to meet my husband online. I thought about it and I am actually relieved because online dating for me has been tough. I rather take my chances meeting Mr. Right the old fashion ways: like a through a friend, randomly meeting at the mall/coffee shop/ church events/unknown place.

I was able to share some of my story this month with Girls Using Their Strengths.  I am always amazed on how God works all my mistakes to fit the story he has already written for  me.
