This week, Tiffany has been working on a her most recent creative endeavor. Amanda, Tiffany and some people from the church had discussed the idea of doing some kind of theatrical production at SLMF. The result of that brainstorm: Tiffany will be directing "Godspell: The Mini Musical" on May 11th at St. Louis Mennonite Fellowship. Thus, Tiffany spent the week researching, planning, emailing other creative sources and talking her housemates into contributing their own dramatic abilities.
Thai for Becca
On Wednesday, the three of us went out for dinner with Amanda's two co-workers, Lindsay and Becca for Becca's birthday. While it wasn't our original plan, we ended up a cute little Thai place. Becca, Lindsay and Amanda swapped work stories and Tiffany and Heather enjoyed hearing the latest about our favorite La Clinica characters.
Fundraising
Recently, Amanda and Tiffany found out that the leaders of MVS decided that each unit needs to raise $300 towards traveling expenses for MVS retreat. The two of them announced that they would be doing odd jobs for anyone in the church in order to raise the necessary funds. So on Saturday, they donned their painting clothes and headed out to their first of many random jobs. They painted a playroom for a family in the church while 5-year-old Abby entertained them with excerpts from her favorite "Rainbow Fairy" books.
That evening, La Clinica was also having a fundraising at a cool local venue. While Tiffany babysat for Tina and Kyle, Amanda and Heather went out to support La Clinica and listen to a local Brazilian band.
The Sun Shines For Us
Sunday was the most beautiful day St. Louis has seen in months. It was a perfectly sunny, 70 degree afternoon so we did what any young adult group would do on a such a lovely day; we went to the zoo. The three of us and several other spunky 20 somethings from the church battl
ed the bad parking and stroller-pushing crowds at the zoo and were rewarded with sea lion feedings, crazy double-billed birds and some great photo ops. Amanda, Tiffany, Heather and Dan finished up the day at Pho Grand, our favorite Thia restaurant just a few yards from our house.
Lighten Up
The week, while not void of low points, was a welcome lift after last week's multitude of valleys.
We know that, even though we can't smile all the time, we can always find people ready and willing to give us reason to.
