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 :)

The Failure Epiphany (Aug 16)

  • Eischeids! So so happy that I got to see them tonight/tomorrow, even if it’s only for a little while. Jen and Andrew were so happy to see me and excited to hear about Korea and other things in my life; it was so sweet. And Ella and Katie are ADORABLE! They have grown so much in the last 6 months, especially Katie. Ella almost still looks the same as when she was a baby, which is both cute and interesting. Katie - with her longer hair and extremely expanded vocabulary - seems SO much older. It’s so funny/amazing to listen to them talk, hear their worries, pray with them and see them play together. And, after initially being wary of me, they both warmed right up and wanted me to do everything with them (I’m pretty sure they do this with any visitors at their house but I love it anyways).
  • At least 3 people this week have told me that they stalked my pictures from Korea while I was gone - I love this! It’s so cool to have people, even in my Farmington community, that are so interested in my life :)
  • Why do I always have my epiphany moments in the shower? I seriously always think of a million things I need to do but, of course, I can’t write them down. But by the time I’m out, I don’t remember what I was thinking! Boo.
