I'm not unemployed anymore - I actually have a very fabulous job as a preschool teacher with the University of Michigan child care centers. But I'm still posting, albeit a little more irregularly, and I don't want to ignore the personal progress I've made since starting this blog by renaming it.

Blog inspiration: I read 48 States in 48 Days by Paul Jury in the summer of 2011. It was fabulous...although he planned way less for his roadtrip than I would have. And at the same time, my lovely Anna was constantly reminding me that our lives were awesome, despite the fact that we didn't have job prospects, new cars, boyfriends/husbands, houses, etc., like so many people we knew. So, in an effort to appreciate my life and the crazy uncertainty that it is, I started writing this blog about the little adventures I have. (And by "writing a blog," I mean "making a list" because I make lists, not narratives.) Even if there isn't a BIG adventure that happens every day, I try to find at least one thing to list :)

Hug You Like a Mountain (June 28)

  • Lots of painting happened today. Lots of painting on high ladders happened for me.
  • Barbara's mom told me that I give good hugs. I thank my camp people for that skill.
  • I talked, ate and crafted with Mandy tonight. Talking with her makes me feel like my life makes sense and is okay, despite being totally not.
  • If I knew exactly when I was leaving for NYC, I would have a countdown. Alas, my departure date is right in line with everything else in my life...unknown.

    It makes me very sad that you think that your life does not make sense or is ok. Uncertainty about the future is ok. It's scary for us who like to plan everything, but its ok. AND the good news is that God has a plan so it WILL work out in the end.

    So please, don't think that your life is totally not ok. Love you lots.
