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 :)

Down to the Market (Sept 3)

  • This morning, I went to the Kalamazoo farmer's market. Earlier this summer, Carlee and I tried to find the farmer's market and we got lost and missed it. It was really cool to be there today. There was so much food, beautiful flowers, cool crafts and a lot of happy people. It was honestly a cool way to be part of the human experience. People were nice to each other, the food was good and good for you, and it was a great slice of Kalamazoo culture. Also, the guy who sold me my pie gave it to me for 50 cents cheaper than it cost :)
  • Ben and I went garage-saleing this afternoon. We only explored a few but it was fun to do it with him. We also went to an estate sale in a really cool (albeit dated and clearly '70s) house.
