28.

Last Thursday, the 10th, was my 28th birthday.  It also happened to be the 100th day of school, therefore it was jam-packed!  I started out the day by picking up Dunkin Donuts for my class.  We were having a cake later on in the day, but I wanted to do something to celebrate with them.  It was a hit, and I liked them also!  The day moved on with 100th day festivities and was over before I knew it.  Along with my class, I dressed like I was 100 for the celebration.  My kids told me that I "went to bed 27, and woke up 100!".  After school, David and I had PF Changs for dinner because we planned to go out in Chicago the next day for a Birthday/Valentines dinner.  Pretty exciting right?!?

The one thing that I did not expect on my birthday was getting homesick.  I can not honestly think of many times I have been "homesick" moving here.  Of course I have missed my friends and family and had some tough times, but have overall been okay.  Receiving notes and presents from friends and family back home did it to me though.  It reminded me of all that I have in Indiana, and sadly, that I have not built that up here yet.  Many people tell me it takes at least a year to start making good friends in a new area and it is completely true.  It is difficult!  Needless to say, the day was full of ups and downs.

Enough with the sappy...please enjoy pictures from the day!

It was one of the coldest days of the year...

Flowers from David!

My kids all dressed up.

My girls took this picture of me...they told me to look old!  Don't worry, my skirt looks shorter than it was.  Plus, you can't see my rolled down knee socks!

Cake my co-worker made for the kids.

Flowers from my Dad and Margaret.
