Falling in Love at a Taco Shop

“I never knew just what it was about this old coffee (taco) shop I loved so much”

When one is hungry the question pops into your head, what for? Seeing that America is the land of many cultures, we have it all. Autumn and I had a dilemma though, where should we go to eat, and how far did we really want to walk? The answer we wanted Subway, but there was no way in the world we would walk the distance to get an over priced, under stuffed sandwich.

So we decided to be sloth and head over across the street to the less appealing, more walking friendly taco shop.

Autumn and I dined outside of the taco shop at an oversized table with a tostada and chicken burrito… but not for long…

While starting yet another game of 1,2,3 a group of guys came into the taco shop, ordered and one came out. I said he was Autumn’s 2 and as she was deciding, I realized something, he was staring at us a lot.

Autumn and I were chatting about my awesome “The Hangover” t-shirt when he started laughing and put his input into the conversation. Soon he sat down next to us and then what seemed like a second later his friend joined too.

“How old are you?” Was their question after they discovered we were from Phoenix (thanks Autumn for telling them everything) Autumn said she was a senior and before I could add my age they continued talking to us.

As soon as their food was ready they asked if they could eat with us. Autumn and I were already finished and though she gave me a look of deep desire to stay and enjoy the scruffy looking company I said goodbye to Autumn’s number two and his compadre with a bun and we walked across the street.

If you didn’t already guess, Autumn kept this number two and insisted that she was seriously liking him… ILLEGAL in so many ways was my immediate idea, but I trudged more than willingly back in the direction of the taco shop so I could try to get a picture of them for her… it failed, zoom in the dark only enhances so much.

And while the next part of our evening consisted of many other odd 20 something’s hitting on us, Autumn was oddly attracted to this number two… lets call him Connor for our purposes.

Back at the beach house we discovered along with “Last Name” by Carrie Underwood and “In my Head” By Jason Derulo, “Falling in Love at a Coffee Shop” or Taco shop was Autumn and Connor’s song.

My theory is that tomorrow we will make another trip to the taco shop where we will see if they happen to show up, if so I can certainly see a wedding in the near future, I picture a Spanish theme, mismatched plates for the dinner, a color scheme of bright golds, greens, reds, and yellows. The venue will naturally be the beach for the ceremony and then the reception will be held at the Dirty Bird, for reasons that the viewers of this blog wouldn’t understand. Her dress will be a simple mermaid dress with lots of lace. The food will be classic Mexican, and it will be served and eaten family style. The music will be classics meets now, with a spotlight first dance to a most brilliant Landon Pigg song…

“If I didn't know you I'd rather not know
If I couldn't have you I'd rather be alone

I never knew just what it was about this old coffee shop I love so much
All of the while I never knew

I never knew just what it was about this old coffee shop I love so much
All of the while I never knew

All of the while
All of the while
All of the while it was you, you!”
