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 :)

Music Together (July 7)

  • Ashley and Abby hosted a beach party in Wolpo today, as a late Fourth of July celebration. We got to experience some of Abby's yummy cooking and the relaxing getaway of Wolpo beach. Ingrid, Nida and I are totally going to Ashley's apartment for a mini-vacation when she's in Thailand ;)
  • Nida and I were talking on the ride home and we realized that we have a very similar taste in music! I think, especially with the explosion of ipods and MP3 players, that it's really rare to find someone who enjoys most of the same artists that you do. So it was really exciting! Oh except for when she disowned me when she found my 90s boy bands playlist...but Ingrid high-fived me for it, so it was okay.
  • Nida also taught me some Afrikaans. I don't remember it but it was fun to learn :)
  • I love riding the bus with Ingrid because she always waves before/as the bus pulls away (her stop is before mine).
