Thanksgiving at the Stevens House

It's 10:00 at the Stevens House, do you know where your grad students are?

We're studying and eating popcorn!!!!!

Katie's church history final (To what does the term “eastern orthodox” refer? What are its unique characterstics? How did the Orthodox church emerge in Russia? What changing roles has it played in the changing political dynamics of Russian society as it has moved from a tsarist society to a communist society and eventually a post-communist society? What role did Alexander Sozhenitsyn and Alexander Menn play in advocating for the orthodox heritage and what was the response?) and Noel's intro to planning question (write a memo to the chair of the met council detailing. . . the non-feduciary arguments for light rail transit) are keeping us up late this week as we both hope to spend some of our Thanksgiving weekend with our family and friends.

Bethany's up with us too, translating the church directory into spanish, (such a tallented woman).

Wanda and Valerie are definitely asleep (responsible women that they are)

Noel's mom comes to town Thursday! (Yay! We love the Honorable Tracy Collier Nix). Bethany's heading to Walker tomorrow afternoon.
Wanda's going to Mankato
Valerie's going up to Blaine to feast with friends
Katie's off to the SLP

Happy Thanksgiving

Three lists of three things we're thankful for at the Stevens House
Friends, Fun and food - noel
popcorn, pietism, and playfullness - katie
community, creativity and coffee - bethany

you'll notice all three lists include food (huh? ha!)

I'm sure Val and Wan would have a list too

If you're wondering what feduciary means, it means "financial."
