I think the national park land owners named that park on purpose knowing the position us Kirksvillians would be in out here with know where else to go. With the word 'Thousand' in the title it might represent the number of times that we would visit it during the years here. I'm just glad we don't have to pay. Nice move on there part because a fee would kill the cleverness of putting 'Thousand' in the title to me anyway. We went on a hike the other day there. Kevin happily blazed the trail through the spider webs that were strung across our path. I counted myself lucky because by the end those tiny threads of web might as well could have been vines dangling from the thick underbrush of a jungle because not knowing our adventure for the day I had taken great strides in my working out and may have overdone it just one hour prior to departure to the park. No worries I made it but at the time I did wonder why I did that extra set of lunges.
Though I don't have the pictures to prove it we have been doing things other than isolating ourself in the underbrush. Last night we went to Truman State Universities opening football game. It was fun to be at the 40 yard line about 20 feet from the action. We went with another couple in our ward (see!) Friday we went to our first ward activity which was a progressive dinner of sorts and enjoyed it thoroughly. Don't be assuming we went just for the food either! It was a perfect opportunity to meet others. When your at church it can kind of be hard seeing as they mainly encourage you to listen and learn there. Thursday I went to the first SAA meeting. Which is a group for the wives of med students much like the churches Relief Society. There is going to be lots of opportunities for me to get as involved as I want, there is anything that I could ever hope to do to socialize to keep me sane. Well on to the next week I guess. We'll see what it brings.......
