Steph in DC

Hey all! I had a bunch of people asking me for updates on my big move to DC and someone suggested a blog. I'm not sure how up-to-date it will stay but I'll try. Thanks everyone!

Hello friends! There were a lot of people asking for updates on my big move to Washington DC to work for IJM. Someone recommended a blog as a good way to keep people updated so here it is. I'm not sure how long I'll keep it up-to-date but I'll do my best! To all my Minnesota friends - I miss you all like crazy!

Turkey Bowling!

So last night was my first experience with Turkey Bowling! Turkey Bowling is a kind of sort of annual event put on by a friend of a friend of mine out here. It's about 100 people bowling complete with costumes, team cheers, and other silliness and the proceeds go to provide turkeys for needy families for Thanksgiving. It was hilarious.
You had to wear a sombrero if you got a gutter ball, a top hat if you got a spare, and a lei if you got a strike. There were refs going around handing out random points for all sorts of silliness or simply for bribery. I went with some friends from work and there were about 15 IJMers there. It was great fun, even though I can't bowl to save my life!
I do have a confession to make, however. On Friday in snowed out here. It was only flurries and only lasted about 20 minutes but... it made me miss home. There, I confess. I still hate the cold, but the snow did make me ready to come home for Thanksgiving. See you all soon!
