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 :)

Fill My Cup

  • Amazing, relaxing morning. Everyone woke up with the children – between 6:30 and 7, I think. I, however, was very tired and managed to “sleep in” until 9 (as I was waking up, I believe I heard someone refer to me as a “rock star” because of my ability to sleep through the noise of 15 conversing adults and 4 playing children, in a small open cottage). Andrew and Jen made us breakfast of pancakes, fruit and sausage. I played with Ella and Katelyn, intermittently joining in conversations with different groups of people. I held/rocked Katelyn for a while. It was the perfect summer morning even though it was only for a few hours.
  • We are now at camp! It’s great to be here with everyone. I’m looking forward to finding some peace, guidance and release this week. Rachel asked me tonight “Why do we go to camp?” and I wasn’t sure how to answer at first. I feel like that should one of the few things I am sure about right now.
  • I need to remember the following things:
    • Krystle’s Jeremiah verse
    • To attempt to accept change
    • How much I love my camp family and that they love me in return
