Family Reunion in Des Moines

Interchallenge virtuouso Sara totally nailed it. Des Moines, Iowa was the secret location of the last blog post. Why was I in Des Moines, Iowa you ask. For the not even close to annual* Studer Family Reunion.

As you all probably know, my mom's family isn't small. Oodles of aunts, uncles, cousins, cousins-once-removed, and even a couple cousins-twice-removed necessitates some organizational efforts: color coded shirts, , and an elaborate . But in addition to spending some great times with rarely seen but dearly loved relatives, we had a little bit of time as well.

Family reunions sometimes get a bad rap. And I'll admit I was a little reticent heading into this one myself. But there was no need. I had a great time and look forward to a little less hectic time with such great people in the not as far away future.

I'm glad you did come Wren. I was really glad I could finally meet you. I might be getting an internship out in CA in the next year or so with an alternative energy/construction engineering company. I'd love to come visit you if I do. Enjoy yourself bro montana
