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 :)

Support Your Troops (Sept 9)

  • Met some new friends from U of M Wesley last night! Mandy invited me to dinner and, even though I was totally physically and mentally exhausted, I went and I'm so glad I did. It was yummy, carefree, relaxing and filled with exploration (of Mandy's awesome co-op) and laughter. Can't wait to hang out with them again. I'm so grateful for wonderful friends who give me hugs, eat yummy food with me and take my mind off things.
  • And today I moved into my new apartment! We had beautiful weather and, thanks to my dad and my brothers and Barbara, it went so fast - everything was in the apartment in under an hour and we finished arranging and putting (most of the) things away shortly after that. Yay! And I'm so excited for how the apartment looks. Still a little nervous about living without my roommates but let's take it one day at a time.
