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 :)

Final Night (Dec 22)

  • Today, we had our holiday parties in my class and I got so many presents from my students today - it was crazy because I didn't even think about expecting ANY! It was really nice to be appreciated in that way and most of the gifts are either really yummy or useful.
  • This evening, I spent my last night with Girl. She was confined to the mudroom, so I hung out in there and Ben, Carlee and Krystle joined me for awhile as well. Later, Ben and I discovered that the air mattress fit nice and snugly in there and we outfitted it for sleeping. The boys left sometime in the middle of the night but Girl and Chloe laid/slept with me the whole night. I cried a lot. I was glad to have that time, even though it was not enough.
