It just so happened…

Some friends of ours were kind enough to provide us with a ‘night out’ on Sunday. They babysat for us (ok, toddlersat I guess) and provided us with a little cash for the evening. We went to see ‘Ocean Oasis‘, and IMAX movie about part of Mexico. We decided to make it a Mexican evening and try a new Mexican restaurant.

A friend of ours had recommended a place to eat, called ‘Salt & Pepper’. I found out there was one in Bowness (an area in Calgary) but for some reason didn’t take the time to check the phone book. If I had, we wouldn’t have gone to that one because there are a couple other Salt & Peppers in town and both are probably a lot closer than this one was.

Anyway, it was Chad who recommended Salt & Pepper. Chad was our team leader during our first 5 month visit to Mexico.

Anyway, after the IMAX movie (which was good, by the way. God sure made some cool critters!) we went over to Salt & Pepper. The food was really good, although I think I would prefer El Sombrero or El Bombazo Latino Market. But anyway, just as we were finishing up in walked our friend Suzan with her husband and son.

Now you have to understand that this is a very small little place. You also have to understand that we didn’t even know this family was in Calgary (they had just moved here a few days ago). And you also have to understand that we haven’t seen Suzan for years (although we’ve been in touch). Suzan was also on our team to Mexico. Can you beat that? Her husband doesn’t even really like Mexican food, so she was surprised that she had been able to convince him to come. Coincidence?

Anyway, they have moved to Calgary, and that’s really cool. Their son is very close to Hannah’s age, which is also very cool. And just think, we didn’t even know they were here yet!

We had a good evening. It was a pretty major thing for me, because I’ve been pretty sick for a couple weeks and have spent some unwanted time in bed. I’m still sick but I think I’m on the mend now. Must be the Mexican food. 🙄
