Congrats Brody!

Today, we went out for a quick lunch to celebrate a recent success. Brody has been studying his little heart out for a bunch of financial certifications. He sells health and life insurance now, but wants to do so much more. He recently took the first step in order to sell securities (he has to pass another before he can actually sell them) I have been so proud of him for all his hard work. He is working, going to school full time and trying to study for all these certifications. He recently passed his Series 6. I told him that if he passed I'd take him to Communal, this little classy restaurant in Provo. I usually refuse to go to these places because they are expensive and I feel too impoverished to be seen in classy establishments such as those. I am also not a huge fan of fancy food, but I'd have to say, I'm getting better at eating things like truffles, cheeses I've never heard of and fine cuts of meat.

So Brody passed his test and I was then obligated to take him out. It was fun to meet up for lunch (we never do that). We felt like we were Brody and Kristin on the Hills, meeting up at an expensive restaurant just to talk about meaningless things (I am now obsessed with drawing life parallels to our celebrity twin couple)

We are just the opposite-me brunette, Brody blonde

So I enjoyed Communal. The prices weren't as bad as I expected and I loved their fries. Brody got some gourmet sounding burger and fries and I opted for the safe option, soup. The soup of the day was a spicy chili. I enjoyed it, but it probably wasn't the best for a warm June afternoon.

My chili-the bread had some unidentified flavor which I didn't love, but the chili was quite tasty!

The 'happy' boy of the hour- He honestly refuses to smile in a picture!

The only thing I didn't like about the restaurant was that as the name denotes, they have communal seating. They sit you at a long table, where other people you don't know can sit next to you. That may have given me anxiety but the restaurant wasn't full. We sat in the middle of the long table with two couples flanking the ends. The table was quite wide so I felt unnaturally far away from Brody. But overall it was quite an enjoyable lunch to celebrate Brody and his great genius :)
