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 :)

Lord of the Dance (July 12)

  • Yesterday's big highlight was that Robert fell asleep while we were swinging and proceeded to take a nap on me while we sat in a chair outside of Linda's tent. It was very cute.
  • Sockhop tonight was super fun :D
  • I was able to go to Firebowl tonight. There were a lot of personal stories shared and I can only react with saying that I am very blessed with the "trials" I have in my life. Most of the time, they are nothing compared to what other people (including many who are younger than me) are burdened with. (It makes me sad that high schoolers/middle schoolers have to go through so much crap.)
  • I am very grateful for my camp family. There are several people outside of this group who I am glad that I have in my life. But my camp family is indescribably amazing. They are always there for me and they care about my life. They want to help me figure stuff out and they love me a lot. I hope I can do that for them. I appreciate them so much more than I can say.
