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 :)

Packing Up, Getting Ready to Go (July 8)

  • Krystle did a great job packing – it doesn’t really matter that we had to child-lock the doors…and I accidentally child-locked Carlee in the car – so we successfully fit 3 people’s things for Lake Louise into the Saturn Ion…at least until we got to Lansing :) Then Carlee rode with Liz and everyone was much more comfortable.
  • As per new tradition, we spent the evening at the Eisheids' cabin. It was an amazing night and it was so much fun re-meeting Ella and Katelyn. They’ve grown so much and their personalities are becoming so apparent.
  • I drove Liz’s big Chevy Traverse to get pizza. It was big.
  • I know I was only in NYC for a few days, but being there and actually seeing the city and the buildings made me fall in love with it again. I’m definitely still determined to live there someday and hopefully soon. Even though I was there just a short time, it has been interesting coming back to Michigan; perceptions are sometimes so easily changed.
