First Night in Hogsville

So, since arriving in Arkansas, we've managed to move into an apartment, move out of an apartment, move into a hotel room, move out of a hotel room, and move into a new apartment. And emotionally scar our chihuahua.

The first apartment boasted an exceptional amount of road noise, as it butted right up to the ever-popular I-540 (the one and only main interstate running through NW Arkansas). To amplify the problem, this weekend Arkansas hosted a hootin' hollerin' Hog Rally for all Harley owners this side of the Mississippi. Solid. Apparently Hog Rally Participants like to rev the mufflers at all times of the night.

Because we're not as cool as the hoggers, we moved to The Candlewood Suites at 3am.

Today, we moved into a new apartment that was MUCH quieter but... um... not quite ready for us. The former inhabitants were smokers who clearly were above ash trays, and they didn't like to pay the bills (according to the apartment complex). They also liked to muddy their hands in mysterious goo and smatter fingerprints all over the doors. Mmm. Sometimes they even liked to flood the spare bathroom and play choo-choo boats. The latter part of that statement is speculation.

The apartment complex has offered to put the new apartment in tip-top shape, so things are looking up. And Polski has been sleeping off his parents' indecisiveness for the last 4 or so hours.

That said, we're here with our new address.

You can find us at:

3010 S. 28th Place
Apt. 6
Rogers, AR 72758

We'll post our new home phone number some time this week.

Other thoughts:
Arkansas is hot. Really hot. It was 90 degrees today when we asked our leasing agent if Arkansas is always this hot. She laughed at us--loudly--and said, "Haha. Hahahaha. Hahahahhahahah. It's not even summer yet..." Awesome. Nothing like Sweaty Meghan for a good first impression at the new office.

There's a Target and a gigantic swanky outdoor mall called the Promenade within 2 miles of us. Danger. DANGER.

That's all for now. Love and miss you all already.

Meg & Fam
