Next Assignment: Greenville, NC

Hello all!

Hello From Greenville, NC! I'm gearing to start my new assignment as a NICU therapist at Pitt County Hoapital. Thankfully the drive down was relitively uneventful, except that I got lost in downtown Raleigh. Somehow I had skipped a direction and ended up in the middle of downtown near the historic courthouse and the State museums...I thought about it for a while and I still can't figure out how that happened. Thankfully Matthew was able to get me back to I-440 over the phone and get me back on the right road. I swear I can find the scenic route anywhere, lol.
So I got here Sunday night and unpacked and settled in. My poor pups are a little confused and Prissy is NOT happy. She confined herself to the linin closet all night but braved up enough this morning to sneak around the living room a bit before slinking and hiding under the bed, lol. Poor thing.

This apartment is SO nice. I love the interior design work. Someone has excellent taste. The tub in the bathroom is HUGE and the the bed is so super soft! Plus I love the comforter set they chose to use! The complex also has a beautiful pool, tennis courts and some small gated areas for dog yards (pictures for the pol, tennis courts, and dog walks to come soon).

The hospital is enormous! I decided to do come exporing around the hospital so I could get aqainted to where I need to go tomorrow morning and I was shocked by how massive the place was. It's like the hospital engulfed the majority of the city. It took me nearly 15 minutes to find where the police center was (for my badge and parking pass information I will get tomorrow) and the parking area I will need to go to is behind a Food Lion! Thankfully the Women's and Children's center is much closer to the main entrance so I think I'll have nearly as much trouble finding my way. More on that tomorrow.

So here are some pictures of the apartment so you can have a better idea of my abode now:


(This is the "hallway" when you first enter the apartment. If you turn to the right you'll enter the kitchen)




(This is the kitchen. It's small but has a fairly good amount of counter space. Plus it has a dishwasher!)


(Entering the main living area I was very impressed. To the Right is the dining room table which is an elevated syle. Mom gave me some sunflower placemats which look fantastic!)



(Another veiw of the living area from the backdoor. Someone is a fantastic decorator!)



(welcome to the bedroom. I love the bedroom suite!)




(Another view from the bathroom entrance)



(Not the best picture but this is the bathroom...the tub is REALLY big!)




(Here is the office. I think it's big enough for a blow-up mattress or a pack-n-play)
