Gettin' Out

We've found lately, that our once quiet, TV-filled evenings are becoming fewer and fewer. We've been working on becoming more involved and spending less time in front of our TV. Amanda and Heather attend step classes at the gym a couple times a week and we've all signed up for a cultural dance class at the community center. It feels good to us to get out into our community as much as we can.

Hummus with Friends
On Wednesday evening the three of us went to a cute little Mediterranean cafe with two of Amanda's work friends, Becca and Lindsay. The hummus, baklava and good company was enjoyed by all.

Support Meeting
Friday night we had the monthly meeting of our VS Support Committee. We had a fantastic curry meal (compliments of Scott) accompanied the delicious side dishes supplied by our other committee members. How did we manage to get a committee with such good taste? The meeting went pretty late with lots of issues and information being shared and compared.

Sunday Special
Sunday was a busy day. We went to church in the morning, appreciating, as always, the closeness of our church family. That afternoon we had our monthly Ed-Rec activity. Ed-Rec stands for education and recreation and each month we VSers have $10 each to spend on an activity that we, as a unit, can enjoy together. This month we went to a see "27 Dresses." Yes, it was our second movie of the month but what can we say? There just happened be some great movies this month and, incredibly, we had the resources to see them. After the movie (which was fabulous) we had a planning meeting for the young adult Bible Study that's soon to be starting up. After a couple of hours of discussion we decided on material and format that we're all really excited about. We'll be studying the books of Judges and Ephesians in an effort to compare community building in the the Old Testament to that of the early church. Our other goals are to become more familiar with often overlooked Old Testament literature and to overhaul our often less than sparkling opinion of Paul's writings. We are very excited to get started!
