Thanks Mom and Dad


So, we attended our first Parks & Recreation event/class in Sioux Falls this morning. (Like almost everything else that P&R does here, it was $FREE.99!!! Yahoo for Lower Cost of Living!) I saw a woman who had been introduced to me at some other park on Friday when I was with Brian's boss's wife and kids. I had only spoke to her for about 2 minutes on Friday. But of course, I went right up to her and reintroduced myself today. We starting chatting and before long she had introduced me to another woman who has two boys, nearly exactly the same ages as David & Michael. We are now all friends on facebook and will likely be setting up playdates soon. I am starting to get the idea that making friends is not going to be so hard here...As my dear friend Liz pointed out, it is a blessing for me that I have not a shy bone in my body. And for that blessing, I thank you, Mom and Dad, two of the most gregarious borderline-obnoxious (I kid!) friendly people I know. Love you guys.

  1. Thanks Maria for noticing our strengths. And yes making best friends in the grocery store line is a little EXtreme!

  2. Obnoxious, yes! But me gregarious? I think not. I am so shy and retiring. Never talked to a stranger or even slight acquaintance in my life! Heck, I barely talk to my family!
