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 :)

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas (Dec 18)

  • Lazy day at Cara's finishing White Christmas, since PP and I both fell asleep about halfway through last night.
  • When we got back to Kzoo, we went to Dad's and then made our way to Barbara's, where we immediately started decorating the tree. It turned out so pretty! Our tree has really strong branches this year, so we put all the ornaments on, including my baby carousel one and some from my apt Christmas box. Then we had a yummy spaghetti dinner, some of my Christmas cookies (which got even better after frosting) and Carlee and her mom and grandma came over. Oh, and we played Bananagrams and Apple Letters :)
