We had a long weekend due to the Constitution Day holiday here in Uzbekistan. A much-needed respite from the grind of school, and we still have 9 more days of classes until December 20. Nadia hosted her annual Christmas Cookie Swap party on Sunday evening. I helped by trimming the tree and setting up all of our Christmas decorations in the house. I escaped the party and went out with Mohammed and Aaron to the spa. It was so nice to take a sauna, steam bath and go for a swim. Aaron and I went out for dinner afterwards. I will make a point to spend more time with male friends!
We had our first snow of the year on Friday evening! It was nice to wake up on Saturday to snow on the ground. I went for a run at the canal in the fresh winter air. The snow makes for better photos and I love the first snowfall of the year. The snow is mostly staying put with temperatures all this week below O Celcius.
