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 :)

Best For Last (Jan 28)

  • Last Korea class - can't believe it! It was great learning new things from old scholars, I got to see Sam, and we all felt lots of love towards and from Dr. Koh (I'm really glad she prepared us so well and that I am back to having a positive relationship with her). It was great. Oh and Shelby and I decided that we are going to be the ones that bring the games :)
  • There was an amazing sunset on the way to the Carrs. At one point, there was basically a bright pink beam straight into the air above the sun (which was on the horizon), reflecting pink onto the undersides of all the clouds. I tried to get a picture but it couldn't capture all the beauty.
"Have you ever stood at the sunset? With the sky yellow and red? Seen the clouds suspended like feather? Then I say, you've seen Jesus, my Lord..."
  • Visit with my "family" in Holland. I loved playing with Rachel and listening to her talk. Robert was very happy (I mena, it WAS his birthday) and giggly, which I love. Also, he thought my Wario doll was "scary". And so much good conversation with Matt and Liz.
