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 :)

& One For The Band (Aug 15)

  • BAND CAMP!!! I'm so excited. I love this time of the season and being at Pendalouan. I love seeing Deshaun and Whitney, having time with Anna (she can read my mind, calm me down, explain my ginger-ness, give me hugs, etc. etc.), being with my girls and doing band stuff in general. Love love love. (I dislike missing Dawn and PP though.)
  • My girls are amazing. They rehearsed so well today and I can't wait for more this week. Leah is a beast. Abby is such a trooper. Candice has the cutest amount of sassiness. Linnea tries so hard and is picking up lots of things quickly. Jackie had a lot of big smiles happening tonight. Maya is really cute when she screams as she tosses her flag (that will go away). Lucy is so independent and getting better every day. Kaitlin is picking everything up really well, I forget she wasn't with us before this year. Lindsey is crazy and I love when I say something, she says "Wait, what?" and then says "Oh nevermind, I gotcha!" Sara is a fantastic performer and rehearser; I love letting her just dance around. Kristina reminds me of me, in all the good ways. Halley is so reliable and consistent. Bridget is still a little afraid of her flag but a great rehearsal role model. Kayla is so helpful and amazing at guard work. I love them.
  • I might learn to drink black coffee this week...
