27

i am now 27 years old. i don't feel old, but 27 sounds old. i think this is a good age to stop getting older. i wonder if people would notice if i just say im 27 from now on? i guess i could try it.

it is nice being a teacher on your birthday. i got so many wonderful gifts from my class. they are sweet little ones. i did get a good laugh out of all the names i was called in birthday cards. of course, this was from the parents, not the kids. i made a list:

Mrs. Feeve
Mrs. Frick
Mrs. Fear
Mrs. Fierce
Mrs. Freerer
Mrs. Fircce
Mrs. Feeree

Some of them were pretty close to my actual name, but Feeve and Frick? Seriously? At least I had something to laugh at all day.

Oh My.

We have been so incredibly busy lately. I started my new job about a month ago, and I have had absolutely no time to write or anything else. I feel like a first year teacher. I taught for two years in NYC, but I guess moving to a new district and teaching a new grade really messed me up. It's tough, but I am so thankful for the job!

We also got a new apartment. We love it. It's a little bit empty and the solid white walls are driving me crazy, but I'm hoping once we hang up some pictures and art it will look more cozy. It is so nice to have room and space to spread out though. We aren't quite used to it yet.
