- Finally opened my supply of cheese from Anna and Dad/Barbara. Ohhhhhhhh cheeeeese. It had been too long. I’m so thankful that Mike told me you can get all kinds of cheese at the Costco, near Gumi. I can’t go 4 more months without it.
- Last week, I was thinking to myself that the road near my bus stop kid of needed to be fixed (a lot of heavy trucks drive on it every day, so there were nice hills in the pavement). But then I decided that it probably wouldn’t happen soon because they have to close the intersection and the weather has been really weird lately. NOPE. Those would be reasons for avoiding fixing it in Michigan. When I got back from Gumi this weekend, it was fixed. Woah. I never even saw one traffic cone.
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 :)
