I think I say this every weekend but …. I love weekends!
As you remember from my last post, I had exciting news to celebrate about. Long-and-slightly-complicated story short, I basically got a promotion. The department I have been working in the past year and a half was a pilot department so they started us all as temp workers. Well, they decided to hire two officially full time workers and after applying, interviewing, etc, etc, I am one of them …. and I’m so thankful and excited for it!
So, Erik and I went to KC for a little celebration. First, we stopped at Ted’s Montana Grill for dinner in the Power & Light District.
We like Ted’s and hadn’t been there for awhile. We ate kind of early and as you can see … it was a packed house ;)
We entertained ourselves by taking pictures. 
I really like the booths at Ted’s because they’re so tall and really blocked off from the booths next to each other. It feels really private and enclosed. 
We were big drinkers … obviously! 
Ted’s is known for being eco friendly with their paper straws, recycled paper menus, to-go cups that bio-degrade in landfills after just 50 days, recyclable glass bottles, bio-degradable take-home food containers, as well as working to conserve water and energy at all restaurants.
Erik got the bison burger on an oatie wheat bun with a baked potato. We’re pretty much always happy with their bison burgers. 
I heard that their veggie burgers are good so I decided to try one, also on an oatie whole wheat bun, with roasted asparagus. I thoroughly enjoyed it : )
After dinner, we went to see Avatar in Imax 3D. We didn’t really even know what Avatar was all about, just heard that it was good. Plus, neither of us have seen a movie in 3D before (does that make us lame?). It was a pretty good movie and the whole Imax 3D thing was pretty neat too! ; )
Plus, we got perfect seats, ha.
Before the movie, we consumed some Turtle Mountain Purely Decedent Coconut Milk Cookie Dough ice cream. (And it was very good ; )
Now we’re off to church! Hope you’ve had a great weekend!!!
Congrats on the promotion. I am glad you were able to celebrate!
