Friday, 10/10/08, Brian and I went on a double-date with someone not listed...but I'm counting it anyway! Mr. & Mrs. Pena joined us for a movie and dinner. (In that order =) We went to see Fireproof and then to Red Robin for dinner - and ended up closing the place. We kinda got the idea the employees wanted to go home when they started turning off the lights!! It's been a long time since we've closed anywhere - we're usually asleep by 10!

Fireproof is a great movie for couples to watch. Thankfully, Brian and I are blessed with an incredibly happy, fulfilling marriage so we have not had to deal with some of the issues brought to light in this movie. We did, however, leave the theater with a sense of gratitude deeper than before of how wonderful our marriage is! What a terrific CHRISTIAN film, holding it's own in public theaters, with such a fantastic message about how every marriage takes work and the blessings that come with that work. We were so moved we are hoping to get in another date night to double date with another couple to see it again!

Dinner was fabulous! Brian and I split a cob salad, all meat on the side, of course! And the four of us enjoyed sharing the Tower of Onion Rings and nachos with salsa and fantastic guacamole. Three hours and endless conversation later, we left Red Robin...or at least the building. We stood in the parking lot for another 20 minutes chatting about this and that.

What a wonderful night I spent with my best friend, my life love, my husband - and what fun we had with J & W!
