life back in Arkansas...

Well, life back in Arkansas is just about as you can imagine.  Not as lively as being on the road, and after readjusting a little bit, I've gotten okay with being here.  I know it's short-term so that helps.

V-day flowers for mom and me from dad  :)

I bought a Kindle Fire and read the Hunger Games books...pretty excited about watch the movie soon!  :)

I've been spending some time in Little Rock...that has helped break the routine of work, home, sleep that my hometown has to offer.

While on my trips to Little Rock I've finally been able to see a few friends I haven't seen in months, and some, years!  A couple of them have had a baby...it's crazy to think how I'm at an age now where my friends are married and/or have kids!

 My favorite time of year has come around...daffodils are sprouting up!  :D  I made a trip with Amber and Trey's family to Wye Mountain where there is a huge field of nothing but daffodils.

I sure do miss hanging out with this kid on a regular basis!  Nathan and me.

My how Elliot the bearded dragon has grown! 

Chester the snake wasn't so scary...

 I have been on far away road trips with no car problems...that is until I get back in Arkansas.  In 2010 on my first big solo trip, I went from west coast to east coast and back...never getting pulled over or having an accident until I got back in Arkansas and was headed home.  Thankfully I didn't get a ticket!  This incident below was pure wrong place at the wrong time.  I had just finished eating lunch with Michelle and was waiting to turn out of the parking lot, when Car 2 decided they had enough time (they didn't) to turn in where I was causing Car 1 to hit them and Car 2 to hit me.  Took an hour to finally get everything sorted out with the cops and what not...I was pissed, but realized that it could've been worse and that nobody was hurt really bad.  Car 1's driver's arms were marked up and I'm sure some whiplash happened, but still...

My car's damage.

 A week after the Daffodil Festival at Wye Mountain, I went back with Chris and I was so excited to see all the flowers again....got there and most were dead.  Sad.  They don't do well with really warm weather which we've been having lately.  We hardly even had a winter!  At least there were a few still left in bloom.

 It's horse racing season and I've never been before.  I decided it was time to change that, so Chris, Brady, and I made a trip to Hot Springs to Oaklawn.  I made a small bet of $5 on one race, made $7.50, bet $7 on another, lost, bet $0.50 on a superfecta and lost.  The guys made bets all day, but not me.  I like my money too much.  It was a really nice day and something different.  I'd probably go again.

Brady, Chris and Me...

This is Kiya...she was a lil puppy a few short months ago.  Now she's a big puppy!  I can't believe how big she's gotten...looks so innocent doesn't she?  She's a hyper lil thing!

Well, that's what has been going on lately.  I'll be going to Florida in a few weeks to be a bridesmaid and I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone there.  Not entirely sure of what/where I'm going after that, but I know I'm in Arkansas till May (it keeps getting pushed back...), which isn't all bad...just feel like I'm stuck in limbo.  It'll come to me soon where I should go for my next grand adventure... :)
