Then that weekend, we had a sisterhood retreat in Monroe City, Missouri! Talk about middle of nowhere. We were at a lake by Mark Twain Lake at a facility called Mark Twain landing, and I had one of those rural life visions. First, observe the trailer park behind the lake. There was a wedding there. In t-shirts and capris. They had their reception at our facility's karaoke night, which all of Phi Mu was at singing and dancing to. The couple dancing is pictured below, they seemed 17 years old. The djs were both smoking pipes and loved singing themselves, as seen in the photos of the hicks :P. The wedding attendees drove to the wedding in golf carts...and it was just a crazy environment. I'm glad I have always lived in a city where I can buy food and know that there's somewhere to go (aka a Walmart within 20 miles), have clothes to wear and not live off free t-shirts from the facility (although we know I love free shirts--the groom had a Mark Twain Landing shirt on), and not drive on gravel roads to get to where I need to go.
