The guys in our ward hosted a dinner for the girls--complete with sparkling cider, a catered meal, and different individuals stationed to greet us, open our car doors, and escort us to our tables.When Chantal and I pulled up to the church building and parked in the pre-designated area, we were startled by a guy running towards us in the dark through the parking lot at great speeds. Apparently, his job was to open our car doors for us in a very gentleman-like fashion.
Unfortunately, Chantal didn't respond well to the surprise. Since her car has a manual transmission, she proceeded to pull up her parking break very quickly and jump out of the car before recognizing the friendly face coming to open our door. In her haste, Chantal also proceeded to lock the doors of her car before slamming her door shut. I, on the other hand, recognized CJ, and closed my door while still in the car so that he could do his job of opening my door for me. After I unlocked the door and CJ let me out of the car, I shut the door.
I noticed something strange, however... apparently the keys were left in the ignition and Chantal never turned off her car in her flight. Luckily, my slow reaction to the man running towards us in the dark parking lot was a good thing, since without that, Chantal would have locked her keys in her car with the car still running. I'm pretty sure she was slightly embarassed as she headed towards her car to turn it off and take the keys out of the ignition... with CJ watching us in confusion.

Hilarious! I was thinking the whole time she was accidentally going to hit him in a fight-or-flight response :). How was the dinner??
Dinner was actually pretty good... MTC-worthy Cordon Bleu + side dishes... and vanilla bean Cheesecake Factory-Costco cheesecake. Mmm.
