Last evening, my friend Robin and I went along to my first Single Adult activity. For the uneducated, in the LDS church "Single Adult" means older than "Mid-Single Adult". In other words, because of my recent birthday, I've advanced past my mid-single-adultdom, into single-adultdom. Thankfully I had a friend with me, or I doubt I'd have gone on my own. As it was, we were the youngest ones there.
But it ended up being an ok time. The event was held up Millcreek Canyon, at a placed called Camp Tracy. The first blessing was when we walked in, and I was greeted by a sweet woman who I'd had the great pleasure of attending a Family Home Evening at her and her husband's home earlier in the summer. I'd had such a good time with them, and it was so nice to see her there, and her husband, and have them remember me. It really helped start the evening out right for me.
After that, we had a nice catered BBQ dinner from Dicky's BBQ. And after dinner, terrific entertainment from a group called Annie's Romance, who played Irish and Scottish music. They were really fun, so check them out on Facebook and the Internet! And on a side note, their leader is a local actor named Marvin Payne, who LDS folks would recognize from a lot of LDS films (he was the Dad in "Saturday's Warrior", just to name one).

So, it ended up being a pleasant evening, and we lived to tell the tale. It remains to be seen how frequently I'll participate in these events, but it was a good start.
