27

I turned 27 yesterday.

I know that 27 isn't old by any means, and I sure don't feel old, but 27 sounds old to me!

I had a nice day. It started with Lucky Charms for breakfast followed by an hour at the gym watching Star Trek. After a shower, Brian and I met my parents in Wichita Falls for lunch at On the Border and some TCBY for dessert.

I think I'll just stay 27 forever. If I don't celebrate any more birthdays, I won't get older, right??

Work

I started work on Monday. It's been three looooong days. Today was the longest. I've managed to make dinner every night though...not sure how long that'll last! I have a classroom to myself, but it's full of junk I don't want or need right now. It's also totally not cute. I haven't decorated one single thing and it may not happen this week. Luckily, I have a while before I start seeing kids. (The perks of being a Speech Pathologist.) The good news? I like my school. It's ridiculously small, but everyone has been wonderful and I feel at home there. They leave me alone when I need some space, but are always happy to see me when I'm wandering around.

It's weird working full time. I miss scouring Pinterest and going without makeup and having all day to bake or plan dinner. I do, however, feel accomplished and I know my family is proud of me. It doesn't hurt to put my expensive degree to use either!

I know it won't be long before I'm counting down the days to Christmas and summer, but for now it's not so bad.

Our New Home

With help from my in-laws, everything was moved from house-to-house on Friday. We've been busy since then organizing and unpacking.The kitchen is finished and major progress has been made in the office. We managed to clear out the garage enough to get my car inside and out of the sun/heat. Our bedroom is still a disaster, but it's upstairs so no one sees it. Hopefully I'll have it tackled by this weekend.

I met with my supervisor for work today. We checked out my school, but didn't really find out much. It seems things are a bit chaotic there. Work starts next week, but there are still a lot of things to figure out. I'm trying to keep my obsessive personality in check and let things happen how they happen.
