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 :)

Jail Bird (Feb 17)

  • Happy Birthday to my brother, Collin! 18!
  • This morning, on my way to church, I saw a police car headed towards the Washtenaw County Jail. There was a man in the backseat, looking out the window. All I could think (and the thought that resurfaced throughout the day) was, "I'm going to church and he's going to jail." Wow. And my other thought? "What could we have done in the last 18-25 years to prevent this from happening?" It was a very poignant thought to have at 7:45 on a Sunday morning.
