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 :)

Big Time in a Small Town

  • Mmmm fatty fair food. I wish I could have gotten a lemonade and an elephant ear but the butterfly fries were pretty good.
  • I worked a small town festival for AAHOM today (where I got the fatty fair food). It was so cute because it seemed like everyone in the town turned out for it. It wasn't just something that the town does and struggles to get people to come to. Also, we left the town via back roads, to avoid the parade, and I loved seeing all the farms. It reminded me of driving around Mattawan and ER. I don't think I have the patience to buy/care for animals and grow crops and such on my own, but if I were put in that situation (i.e. marriage), I think it could be a really fun way of life.
