Candlewood Suites Little Rock

So I know I haven't written in a long time, and now it's time that I leave Arkansas. I just wanted to give a summary and bring this trip to an end.
Arkansas was a very different experience for me. I finally started meeting people and hanging out with people about 2 to 3 months working here. I also met Sara, my neighbor in October. We hung ...

Welllll helllooooo! So I've been getting quite a bit of grief about not keeping this journal up to date. But in all reality, I haven't been doing too terribly much. I work about 25 minutes away from where I live, so I go to work, come home, play with my puppy and go to bed to start it over again. I am still having a good time at my job, it is st...

So I'm finally starting to work things out at work, at least I hope so lol. Apparently there were some new systems that have been put into place before I came that not everyone is completely comfortable with and not all the kinks have been worked out yet. So that is cause of the majority of the confusion and the "who does what when" type of stuf...

So let me just say that I was unable to write yesterday due to an overload of stress and frustration. I woke up yesterday because I had to go to work at 915 to start orientation (since I can do that without an OT license)... and I couldn't find my keys. I tore the hotel room apart looking for my keys. Those of you who know me.. probably aren't s...

Well, so slowly but surely things are beginning to fall together. I am going to get the apartment. I'm still not thrilled about the idea, but it's a place to live, it's a nice area, and there is plenty to do and I'll probably meet some people my age. The facility has a hot tub, tanning beds, a sauna, two pools, it's on a golf course and I get fr...

So I know everyone is expecting me to talk about the great new place I found and how everything worked out. Sorry to disappoint you, who knows, maybe next post. As of today, it seems like a wasted day. It is pretty difficult to find a place to live on a Sunday. Between the "house" and the apartment.. looks like it is going to be the apartment. H...

Ok I have to do a better job of writing in this blog every night as I am forgetting what has happened and what we have eaten ( for those of you that are foodies.) Ok so right now we are sitting poolside inthe Best Western Amarillo Inn it is 8.45 and we are waiting for our pizza and pasta delivery. Debbie is on her laptop, me on mine and the girl...

Well I'm pretty much all settled in the apartment and with my job. I'm still trying to learn things at the job, like what paperwork to fill out when, and how and all that good stuff. what to do if I'm not going to pick a client up on my caseload, what to do when military staff is going to come in and observe meetings and such over clients.. a li...

Today we set a new personal best in breaking camp. We set our alarm for 8am and actually got up at that point. We got cleaned up, played on the Internet, packed up the car and closed up the General Lee Greenwood. By 9:35 we were on the road for the two block commute to Graceland. We passed the Heartbreak Hotel (think Holiday Inn but with a diffe...

I don't remember the exact name of the camping site in Arkansas but I remember it was in a smaller town outside of Little Rock. The one thing that sticks out more than anything about my experience camping in Arkansas was that the mosquitoes were absolutely brutal. Honestly, that was the most mosquitoes that I have ever had to deal with before or...
