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 :)

Packing My Bags

  • I finished packing today by 3 p.m. Which means I was done EARLY. Really? Me? Woohoo! Also, I fit everything in my 2 suitcases and 1 carry-on, though one of them will have to be overweight. Oh well. I AM going to 6 months after all.
  • I got to see Amanda one last time before I left :) It was a nice surprise and I hope we get to talk more soon.
  • Barbecue Chicken pizza for dinner - mmmmm, good last American dinner for awhile.
  • I'm excited to be going. I feel very encouraged by everyone around me and very comforted that I got to so many (most, in fact) of my friends and family before departing. Not to mention that we have this wonderful thing called Skype :) Now for that 18-hour flight...
  • I love my Boyz :)
