Friday was parent/teacher conferences so I was able to run out of work right away and get to Rochester for dinner with Jim. Spending the weekend up north is always a bit like a nice getaway. Jim keeps the house pretty clean (except for the shower and toilet). I packed up all the fall decor and started getting the christmas stuff out. Jim and I went for a couple of long walks and enjoy some quality time together. I do love having a gas fireplace which makes morning fires so much faster and just as warm. It is certainly a lot cleaner, although I did clean the glass which can get pretty blackened. We also had an outdoor fire in the solo stove which I got last year on sale at Costco and love. Jim had a Hmong News Years event at the university to go to Saturday which made for a fun outing.
I got home early Sunday evening in time to have dinner with Monika and start planning our Thanksgiving holiday week. I only had two days of school to prep for and am so ready for some time off.
