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 :)

Pho! (June 10)

  • Had Pho for the first time today – Liz, Darryl, Joey, Christian and Sai love it so I was happy to try it. It wasn’t awesome - Liz said the restaurant wasn’t that great - but I could see how it would be good comfort/hangover food :)
  • After that, I went to church, which was on the beach today :) It was a fabulous way to worship. It was good to be back too – I’ve missed the last few Sundays. Memorable quotes from the service: 
“We love not to convert but just because we are converted” - Pastor Richie
“You don't need to change to be a Christian. Jesus will change you.” – Mario
Plus we had burgers from King Kong. And I met a great girl who lives in Canada but is from Grand Rapids! (I’ve met her brother at church before.) She was really friendly and it was great to hear her say that her heart is definitely in MI :)

 
After the service, I got to talk with Ingrid about lots of faith things. We both seem to be at a similar point in our journey and it was really good to realize that.
  • And then I had 2nd dinner with Sai and Liz – we talked about Disney movies and Sai read our palms.
