Day 39

Tonight was movie night!  Not exactly date night for Rob and I, but still a fun night out.

Our friends Tom and Trina lead a group call Tri City Catholic Young Adults, and tonight was their meeting night.  On the agenda...dinner and a movie.  They invited Rob and I to attend...and although not exactly young adults, they assured us we would not feel uncomfortable, and they were right.

Tom made 4 crockpots full of lasagna, so Rob and I brought several bags of Caesar salad to go along with, and some goodies for the movie.  Everyone else brought additions too - there was quite a feast.  And Trina popped bowls full of popcorn for the movie.  Just look at those three 5' tables full of dinner, dessert, and drinks!

After dinner they showed the movie The Way, starring Martin Sheen.  It was a movie about The Camino de Santiago or the Way of St. James - a pilgrimage that people of many different denominations embark on each year.  This particular story was about a father on his own personal journey after the death of his son (played by Martin's real life son Emilio Estavez).  I really, really enjoyed the movie (and would recommend it!) and would actually like to watch it again...there was a bit of chatter going on in the beginning, and the sound system in a big room like this was a little hard to hear, especially with nearly everyone in the movie having an accent!

Thanks Huntingtons...I had a really good time tonight, and I'm pretty sure Rob did too.  Maybe we'll be invited again next month!
