- The way children say my name is probably one of my favorite things ever. Rachel's "Ahmee" was fantastic and I love that I have it on video. Andre's "Elily" was a little complicated, but so cute. Robert calls me "Sis" which is fine with me. Tonight, Ella and Katelyn were both saying Emily (in a slightly varied way), even though I'd only been at their house for a few hours. Adorable.
- Jen and Andrew's house is so cute! It looks small but there is just enough space for them and every room has the cutest features.
- Andrew totally gets my watching the same movies over and over again! SOO exciting! Everyone I know (besides Anna and PP) makes fun of me for it or of how few movies I've seen (although R.J. has been good about being proud of me for trying some new ones this summer).
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 :)
you can never watch a movie too many times...even if it is all in one day. :) (i.e. Tangled and Sherlock Holmes.) I miss watching movies all night with you and Anna.
