forgot

So a funny thing happened. While we were in Springfield, we were driving around, trying to get back on the freeway, we passed a sign, that said Circus parking, well we kept going & decided to take the next right. This is where we stumbled upon a BIG suprise



Elephants!!

Little update

Well after 15 long months. Rex returned safely last sunday. I left salt lake to go & pick him up in Kansas (Fort Riley). I arrived in Kansas mid afternoon Monday, and Rex was done for the day. We drove around a bit & got settled into the hotel. We went out to dinner and then crashed. Tuesday and Wednesday Rex had stuff early morning to Mid-afternoon. We met up with his friends Tuesday night for one last hoorah, before everyone parted ways. We left kansas wednesday afternoon & headed for Fort Leonard Wood (FLW), Missouri.
Once we got here, it was late. So we started our morning fresh Thursday. We wanted to spend the time here looking for housing & me getting a job.
So first stop Thursday was at housing on post- oh my. What can I say... well not much. The housing was definately some old... unremodeled duplexs. They didn't have a garage, and were a big let down overall. Too bad we couldn't get into some of the new housing :(
So we started the journey of finding a place to stay off post. Little did we know the rental market is CRAZy out here. We went into multiple rental companies, who only had 2-4 rentals availble. And usually only 1 or 2 would fit our needs. We checked out a few different houses, and weren't falling in love with any. Overall Thursday was really frustrating for both of us.
Friday rolled around, and I had a meeting with the Nurse Recruiter at a near by hosptial (about 25 minute drive). Things went really well there, but the two departments I wanted to interview in where out of thier office. So they asked if I could stick around & maybe interview monday. So we decided to do that. We also looked at a few more places and again, weren't very excited. That afternoon, we had to take a long drive to Springfield, so I could do fingerprinting for my Missouri nurses license. That took all afternoon & we made no more head way with the rental search.
Saturday rolled around, and the only prospect we have is to meet up with a Property manager, we spoke with the day earlier. We drove by the property that he has availble. And really liked where it was, and what we saw from the outside. He told us that he would meet us today and show us the property. But as of right now, he hasn't returned our calls. :( (I think he was out of town yesterday and returning today).
So we are just sitting around waiting & taking it easy. Maybe we can find a redbox for some entertainment tonight.??
Other than that, we will be sticking around till Monday. I have 2 interviews set up & really hope that 1 position pulls through. And if we can get this housing figured out, we will take off monday afternoon. We plan on stopping back in Fort Riley, to meet up with some of Rex's friends that are still there. And then should be on our way back Tuesday.
I hope that keeps everyone up to date!! Wish us luck on the housing hunt!
