Life in Philly.

Hanging out with me team at orientation!

on a beautiful rooftop in Chicago

coffee shop and board games??? i think yess!!!! notice how happy josh is about it too! 

we met this wonderful lady during our city scavenger hunt! she made us bubble Tea!

The security guard was so concerned when we were pretending to hit the liberty bell!

A pyramid in fairmount park!!

Not really a good explanation for this one. it was also during our scavenger hunt and we we're at the 30th street station in the subway!! umm ya we got some weird looks! haha

RUNNING ON THE ROCKY STEPS!!!!! awesome...even though i left my gray workout suit at home!

Apparently this was one of the first drinking fountains!   and apparently we were pretty tired from running around the city all day long! but i still thought it was cool!

These are just a few pictures from the last few weeks!!! I did start work at LOGAN Hope school two weeks ago and I am the official art teacher for the school! I teach 6 classes ages  k-8th!! its gonna be a LOT of work but I am really excited!!! The kids are AMAZING!! i already have fallen in love with all of them!
As for the neighborhood, I am starting to get more familiar with it! I'm starting to get to know the people on my block and to make a few friends!! And I'm always surprised when someone remembers my name and calls out to me to say hi as I walk home from work! But i love it! Also I have decided that I am going to be friends with the people who run the corner store near my house!  I really do love philly and the people in it! it's becoming more and more my home! :)
