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 :)

Friends Will Be Friends

  • I miss my friends. Right now, my closest/nearest close friend is Cara and she lives 20 minutes away. Now, I do realize that for some people, living only 20 minutes from a good friend is a luxury. However, most people that I know in this situation live with a significant other who (one would hope) could be counted as a close friend. Since moving to Kalamazoo almost 10 years ago, I have been lucky to be, at most, 5 minutes away from one of my best friends. In college, I lived with at least 2 during any given year. The one exception was when I was in Korea - but I saw Winter or another friend in Pohang/Gyeongju almost every day. And right now, I'm missing ALL of my friends. Carlee. Krystle. Katie. PP. Anna. WIFE. Camp friends. ER friends. Korea friends. Korea friends. Korea friends. I wish I could have all my people in one place. Obviously, not possible. But a girl can dream.
