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 :)

Down At The Beach

  • Happy Father's Day, Daddy!
  • After waking up at noon and then eating a yummy brunch, I took the bus to the beach, because it was too beautiful (and hot) out not to. I walked along the shore, in the water, with Florence in one ear and the ocean in the other.
  • After that, I headed to church, where we got a great message from Cordelle about being a follower of Christ. Then we went back to the beach for a picnic dinner! I had a fantastic "conversation" with Lynn, Pastor Richie's 2-year-old daughter...she talked to me in a mixture of Korean, English and baby-speak for at least 15 min! It was so cute. Jun, her mom/Richie's wife, was like, "Ah, Emily is giving me a nice break." And both Nida and Pastor Richie said, "You are so good with her!" That was nice to hear, in general, but also because sometimes I feel so anti-child when I deal with my students. I still like children, yay!
  • I got a free coffee cup when I bought a big box of instant coffee!
  • I had to BUY floss tonight, because I used up the 2 that I brought with me. I've never flossed this consistently in my life - go me!
  • LMFAO songs are fun to dance and sing to. But I'm even more grateful for the covers that people do of them:
