Double Date

We have been looking forward to a double date with some of our favorite people for a while now.  James and Tessa met us at our house and we headed to the south side for dinner.  Our original pick was packed, so we opted for Kabuto's instead.  It was yummy and we got done just in time to make it to the movie on time.

American Sniper came out today and we couldn't wait to see it.  It is an intense movie, but so good.  It was very realistic and raw emotionally and truly showed what deployments do to our military personnel and their families.  The movie was in the middle of an intense battle scene where they Seals are surrounded by insurgents and under heavy fire when a sandstorm kicks up and they are trying to reach the convoys safely and get back to base.  In the midst of this, we begin hearing in the crowd of viewers behind us, "Call 911!.......She's not breathing!" The movie was still playing and the lights were still off.  I'll be honest, my initial thought was that some lunatic had a gun.  Scared me half to death!  They finally paused the movie and turned the lights on.  A young girl in her 20s was having a seizure!  The EMTS came and she quit seizing after a while and was able to wobbily make it down the steps and out of the theater.  It was so scary!  After all the chaos, they rewound the movie and we were able to finish it.  Phew! I will say it was the most intense movie viewing experience of my life!

I adore this girl and am so thankful for our friendship.

We have so much fun together!
