one week down

i am officially one week into my first real paid position and have to say that work is what it is cut out to be

it is fun, it is grueling, it is rewarding

i've spent the past week reading through over 300 applications for our Tillman Military Scholarships, organizing my mind, and planning for the future of our other two programs

since i'm away from all of the blissful distractions of Arkansas, i have the time to handle this month of readjusting and can focus on the workload

keep the Pat Tillman Foundation on your radar as we have a lot on the horizon

in transit

i'm on my way to Tempe - my first real day of work at the Pat Tillman Foundation (www.pattillmanfoundation.org).

i'm off to the heat of Arizona, wearing my seersucker and hoping that the heat won't overcome me upon arrival.

and a shout out, thanks to the free wireless at the Little Rock airport, i'm able to get all my internet needs right at my fingers.

work, work, work

i have a lot to do and am getting some done every day, but traveling is not so conducive to doing work on a computer (especially if i need internet)

so wish me luck, say a prayer, and check out haynes' and my other blogs (as haynes has just added new photos)

until tomorrow

haynes is here

haynes just arrived this evening after driving the Celica the rest of the way back to Arkansas and hopping in the truck for the long haul over.

soon we will start our extended travels but for now i have to finish the work i am doing in Tempe. we are actually about to head over to suzanne's for dinner and then to hang out with katie and eric for the night, then this weekend will probably do some camping outside of Tucson. and then back to Tempe to finish up my work, speak to the Tillman Community on Tuesday night, and buy any necessities for the trip.

over the weekend we will be discussing the trip plans and will have something available for those who are interested soon. we have already changed the trip several times because of certain engagements, but have kept it in an itinerary to travel more efficiently. the best way to keep up will be to just check this site (or maybe another one which will be determined later) and look for our next stops.

peace.
