NAMI!
My awesome elfer.
Since last Wednesday I've been thinking about who I should 'nominate' this week and I could.not.decide. Then, like a sign from the big elfer in the sky, I got an awesome package in the mail and my decision was made - Nami was the chosen one. 
So, let's hear what you love about Nami!

Re: Pour some sugar on... #5
I just know Nami is an amazing teacher (she has the handwriting to prove it!).
She's also incredibly hilarious with a great sense of humor. Not to mention, she is THE original AW Queen and a co-inventor of the great watertower of April08.
We have a crazy comic connection with our September birthdays (30 on the 23rd, 23 on the 30th!). We also share a love of margarita buckets. And I will always have a soft-spot in my heart for her husband, who brings calculators to dinner
This is why I love Nami

I don't know how, but I just knew you were going to pick Nami, so I really thought about this!
I love Nami! She is one of the A08 girls that I think I would get along with the best. She is so hilarious and her posts always crack me up and put a smile on my face, even if I am in a bad mood.
I know that Nami is a phenomenal teacher, and I think if Keith and I ever have kids, we are moving to L.A. so they can be in her class!
She and Joe are such a cute, funny couple and I'd love to meet them someday! Love you Nami!
Nami, Nami, Nami. What isn't there to say about Nami.
First, she gives awesome elfster gifts - she's is so thoughtful that way. She seems like she'd be an awesome teacher and that she really cares about each and every one of her kids. I love her amazing sense of humor and her joyous spirit.
I could only imagine seeing her live in action with her classroom! Hopefully my kids will have a teacher just like her someday!
ps. I love GI Joe also!
"let's go to the watertower!!!!!!"
nami is amazing! she is funny, gives great advice and offers kind words whenever possible. it's obvious to me that nami knows how to have a good time! she is g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s, and GI Joe's antics never cease to give me a chuckle. i PPH nami, and i'm SO glad she's on this board!
Nami is one the first and still one of the best April 08'rs. Her and Joe make a terrific, and hysterical couple.
I think of her at least once a week when I have to ask Dave to pull my recipe box down from the top shelf (i'm too short) and I still have her elfster note inside.
I think she is a great teacher, a great friend and her sense of humor just radiates in her smile.
I love Nami because she seems so laid back and down to earth. She loves her school kiddos and I know is an awesome teacher.
I also love Nami because she is funny and gets to the point about things. She's not wishy-washy.
OH! And she loves BACON!!!
xoxo Nami!!!
Nami is hilarious and she sounds like she's a great teacher. I love to hear about her interactions with kids (I remember something about wearing a tiara in class.) and also the funny stories she shares about Joe. Going way back, I have to say that I loved the pic of Nami and Joe posing all serious in workout clothes. Hi-larious.
i love that nami loves bacon so much.
i PPH bacon. and nami.
Nami is so freaking awesome, I can't believe I haven't her met yet. I would love to eat sushi with her, and people watch and hope to see famous people like her. I would love to be a student in her class because she seems too cool to be a teacher, I can only imagine her with her tiara and wand around class. She loves bacon...we need to attend the Bacon Festival in Santa Monica next year...we'd have so much bacon-filled fun!!
Overall, she's a sweetheart, always makes me laugh, the luckiest gal ever to have 2 beautiful & amazing weddings, Joe is perfect for her, and we are lucky to have her part of our board. XOXO!
Nami loves bacon.
And that's all that matters in my book.
And what everyone else said. I just can't say it any better! She cares about her "kids" and has an awesome postman
Always has a sense of humor even when I know how teaching can get you down!
i hate coming in on these things late b/c everyone says everything i want to say!
nami, you are hilarious! your posts always make me laugh. i love how much you love your students. i think it is so cool you and joe have friday night sushi nights and always take time out for each other. i would love to meet you guys in person....what a fun time that would be!
