the 1st day of my 24th year

Yes, yours truly is 24. That is almost a quarter of a century. After the first day of my 24th year, I have learned a few facts that I will elucidate now & expand upon this weekend.
1) In New Orleans when they say "rainy season" they mean torrential downpours.

2) I have made a few amazing friends year that really make my life exponentially more manageable, enjoyable, hilarious, and amazing. Dinner with a few of them at Capdeville was delicious! If you are in NOLA, check it out in the Warehouse district.



2.a) You can live in New Orleans for a year and not make it to every restaurant you've heard rave reviews about. Luckily, I still live here.


3) No matter how far I am from them, I have amazing friends all over God's green earth that I would not change for the world. And, on top of that, I love that despite time zones, distance, and time apart, I don't love or appreciate them any less.

4) My family is my rock...even though JIMMY did not call me... :-(. He will realize it late tonight, but I'll be fast asleep.

5) Teaching middle schoolers is the toughest job I will probably ever have next to motherhood, but thats WAYYYYYYY down the rode. (Jeeze I said I was 24 not 42). But, both will probably be the most rewarding jobs I will ever have.

6) I am completely capable of making important life decisions. It took me a long time how to figure out the right way to explain it; however, after 24 years of reflection (I'm sure I was this deep in thought in my terrible 2s), I roughly know what I want out of life, out of love, and the little things that just make me happy.

Can't wait to debrief on week 2 of PD when I have some time. Good things are going on.
