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 :)

Hoping and Waiting (July 23)

  • I applied for several jobs in Oakland County. Here's to hoping I get a call. On a slightly different note, applying for teaching jobs makes me feel more competent and less fearful of the future. I'm sure that will change once I don't get calls back from places I really think I should get a job, but for now, it's good to feel like I am capable.
  • I saw a huge batch of yellow day lillies on Oakland Dr.
  • The hangout today was Charlie's and that made for a great day. Power Rangers (my first experience!), cookies (thanks to Krystle), Jimmy John's, Menna's, BKC promo videos, talking, swimming, FRIENDS. Life is good.
  • Justin referred to him, me and Krystle as "The Brooklyn Gang" or something when we went to Meijer. It was silly but also very funny. I love how much I laugh when I'm with Justin, Charlie, Jason and Phil (and Ryan, but he wasn't there).
