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've Got a Friend in Me (August 4)

  • Today was Friendiversary! Carlee and Krystle came to camp to celebrate! It was awesome (even if we did get scolded by Jorge for not paying attention to our campers...but it was dinner and there were other people visiting too). Lots of people were excited that they were here and there were also lots of cheers when I announced about Friendiversary at breakfast, which I thought was really cute. After hearing, at Lake Louise, that Bennett and Greg had distinct memories of us talking about Friendiversary, I realized that the campers really like the concept :) The counselors are into it too - Stephanie and Kaity always mention it and everybody gets excited about it. This is why I love my camp family.
  • I had a great realization about boys today (and kind of yesterday). Thanks to my Extreme Girls and Greg Behrendt for that.
  • I can't get over how great our staff is this year. I love spending so much time with people I don't get to see that often (Rachel, Nate, Lisa) or people I've never really met before (Evan).
  • I'm very grateful to God for the way this week turned out. I was so apprehensive before and now I'm just thankful.
  • I'm also grateful for our water supply. Evening activities have been so fun and refreshing because we are able to draw water from many places whenever we want...it's amazing that lots of people can't do that.
