Fast Fall
It seems as the fall has just flown by. I can’t believe its already Christmas break this coming week. Erin and really enjoyed our time a week ago when we went up to Canada. It was great to get away just the two of us and spend some time together. Thunder Bay was nice, and our time on the shore of Lake Superior was nice and relaxing.
This past week seemed to go pretty quick. I think when your down in the trenches it can seem like its moving awfully slow, but when you look back you seem to forget those times. Anyway it was a good week. I went to a wrestling meet on Tuesday night and watched a few of my students who are on the Virginia high school wrestling team. It was fun to see them compete. They did a very nice job winning both of their dual meets. I went to the meet after our weekly curling match. Tony our high school art teacher, Chuck our superintendent, Tom one of our P.E. teachers and myself all curl in the early league. We’ve competed three times so far and are sitting at 2 for 3. I played pretty well our last game getting most of my rocks in the general area they were supposed to be, so that was good.
On Friday I was signed up to take tickets at the hockey game. Since I was tied up with this Erin spent the evening making lefsa. It turned out really well and I think she ended up getting about 70 pieces. The hockey game was fun to watch. Virginia beat International Falls after a bit of a shaky start.
Saturday night Erin and I went to her schools Christmas party at the wooden table. It was fun spending time with the people she works with on a daily basis. After dinner we headed to Hibbing to pick up Katie who was just finishing up about 28 hours of travel getting down here from St. Michael for her Christmas break.
Today we did a little bit of ice skating. I don’t know how the rink will be tomorrow. We got a little bit of snow this evening. It seems the moment you get the ice cleared enough for skating mother nature decides to spoil the fun by dropping more of that white stuff. There us rumored to be a pretty big storm that is supposed to hit us on Christmas eve. If that’s the case we need to make sure we take advantage of the skating while its available.
Erin has two days of work this week and I have three, so our Christmas break is just around the corner. I am really looking forward to relaxing and getting outside some over break.
I hope you all have a nice holiday season
