Valentine's Day & Substitute Teaching

VERY low key Valentine's Day for us this year... but that's exactly what we wanted! It was our first married Valentine's Day but it has been such a crazy busy year! Damian was on leave all week and we just hung out and didn't do much. It was a cold week last week and it rained a few days, so when Valentine's Day came around we just wanted to have a quiet night. We had planned to go out to dinner but it was pretty rainy that night so we got take-out sushi at the grocery store earlier in the day and then made some miso/udon soup at home... It was super oishii and it was nice to just stay home! As you can see we had waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much for just the two of us but it is just so delicious we couldn't resist!

The day after Valentine's was my first day substitute teaching at the high school... I was wicked nervous because honestly the high school kids scare me a little not to mention I haven't "worked" in almost an entire year.... crazy right?!?! I was subbing for Biology which I can totally handle considering my first college degree is Biology and then in the afternoon I did Physics which really challenged me considering I had a tutor and struggled with Physics back in the day! Some of the kids really pushed my buttons to see what they could get away with and I think I sort of stood my ground... Let's be honest I never in a million years thought I would be teaching so this is a new adventure for me. I survived the school day and that's all that matters! I am going to sub again this week...already signed up for 2 days and we'll see if they call me for more... I'll take the $$$ and it keeps me busy for the day while Damian is at work!

Japanese Word of the Day:
Ai (eye): Love
