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 :)

Just A Phone Call Away (Apr 15)

  • My day was pretty uneventful and I was even going to go to bed at the lame hour of 9:30 pm...when Charlie Hunt Skype-called me! Good thing I was decent, because it ended up being his Sunday School class. They were sharing Happies and Crappies and asked me to join. It was so cool! And we got to talk about camp a little, hopefully convincing some on-the-fence-ers that they should go.
  • Then, Anna called me from Convention! I was able to hear Carolyn's last Counselor Report (including her advice, "If you get the opportunity, marry your brother or marry your sister. It's a good time.") and say hello to Kim, Carter, Sky, Chris, Kevin, Jess, Alex, Carrie, Cassie, Richelle, Anna's new friend Hannah, Carolyn and Trudy. Trudy was so surprised, waved vigorously and then ran to Anna, hugged her and said, (I'm not joking) "I think I just had an orgasm." I can't wait to be an alum at Convention next year :)
  • After that, Ben/my mom called! Ben told me about his birthday (yes, he really is 14) and I told them about the festivals I've gone to. It was fun to talk to them.
  • I really needed all 3 of these calls tonight, as I have been getting homesick this week. Thank goodness for not going to bed early.
