It's an old picture, but you get the idea.There is something very anticlimactic about turning 28. Maybe it's because I am pretty much at the same place at 28 that I was at 18: in college. Maybe it's also because being 27 was so crummy. Do things just get worse and worse with age? I won't bore you with the details, but believe me when I say that being 27 was above and beyond the worst I have ever experienced. Ever. Ugh.
When I told a member of our ward last week that it was my birthday the next day, he asked if I was turning 21. Josh laughed uproariously at the notion, which seemed to confuse the guy. I couldn't tell whether he was joking (because, come on, even if I was vain enough to believe I still look like I did at 21, I've been married for 2 years and have finished 2 years of graduate school. I'd have to be some sort of genius to get that done by 21 and if there is one thing I know I am not, it's a genius), but I really, really hope he was!
In other news: I was released from my calling as a Primary teacher today and wasn't given a new calling. I get a little antsy when I don't have anything to do, so church today was tough (especially since it's been a year since I've been around most of the adults in our ward). Perhaps I was released because I kept trying to use behaviorist techniques to keep my class in line. . .

Now you can sit with me in RS. But yeah, it is weird to be there after a long time of not being there.
Oh and Happy Birthday to both you. =)
