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 :)

State of the Art (Apr 6)

  • Tonight I got to see my Sara perform with Ancora Open at MCGC States. It was so cool to watch her! (And then to remember what she was like as a freshman :)) She was poised, graceful, in character (important for this particular routine) and made everything look easy. Since she has had 3 coaches since me, I know I can't take ALL of the credit - but I was so happy to know that she was happy and that I had helped teach her to love what she was doing. Plus, afterwards, she said that she was putting a little extra into her performance because she knew I was there - so cute :)
  • Interplay Open's show was AMAZING! It was to "Do, Re, Mi" from Sound of Music but it was SO excellently planned and written. Near the end of the song, when each Von Trapp child is singing a different part, they had a different small group running around the floor, doing flag work with a silk that said the note that was being sung. SO COOL! I hope I can find a video online...
