Date Night

*******************Date Night**********

Yup, this is still Friday night ;)

So we are on our way to see a play in Orem.  We are in the process of getting a bid on the house we are renting, and texting our F.R. (friendly realtor) to let him know what our plans are.

We get to the theater and sit down just a few moments before the show starts.  A family of four walk in, and sit down next to us.  The woman looks vaughly familiar to me, but I can't remember where I've seen her.  (Honestly, she looks just like one of the older sisters of a friend from the youth group I belonged to as a teen.) 

During intermission, Aaron leaves to try to talk to F.R. on his cell.  The woman and I spend the next 10 minutes talking and trying to figure out why each of us looks familiar to the other one.  We try different locations/ states and find nothing. 

Aaron returns to his seat, and the husband of the woman leans over and says, 'Is his name Aaron?'

It turns out that it was our husbands who knew each other!!!  They were very good friends in high school, and both he and his wife (then fiance), were at our wedding.  So although *we* had only met once, our husbands were the friends :)  Our husbands had lost touch when the other couple moved out of state, and they had never been able to find one another.  Aaron had tried for the last few years to reconnect with this man, now that we were living in Utah. They both stood up, and gave each other a big hug, and throughout the rest of the show, Aaron had a big grin on his face.  (Gotta love moments like this!)

Afterwards we went out for frozon yogurt (which was just an excuse to hang out and catch up).  We found out that his wife had bought the last four tickets that were together, and shortly after that, Aaron went online and bought the last *two* tickets that had seats together.  What were the odds?!

It just goes to show that Heaven has a plan, and sometimes it is just more obvious than others ;)
