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 :)

Nothing Stops the Rain

  • Went back to Mattawan for my first football game since I graduated. Ben played with the band for halftime! It was awesome and he had fun! Yay! It was really fun being back - got to see Mr. Wheeldreyer, Mr. Greer, Hayes, Phil and campers, plus watch the marching band and hang out with my mom. It was weird not being there with all my MHS band friends; lots of memories came flooding back and I kept having to do double-takes when I looked at the kids, because I saw the people I knew in uniform. Speaking of floods, it downpoured and was freezing. It was kind of awful. But, overall, great night :)
