So I had signed up for a "provisional" employee status, which means that I kind of choose my hours. I was excited about that, but as if that wasn't enough, they offered me to go ahead and go "part-time" at the hospital. Although that may not sound all that much different, a part-time employment comes with BENEFITS!!!
I got a raise, Health Insurance, and Dental Insurance, and a couple of other things before I even started my first day! Haha, life is going great for me. I have finished up my classroom orientation and I start tomorrow with my "on floor" orientation. I'm very excited to get going. I am working 3-4 shifts a week at 2nd shift.
There were a few car problems this week, such as...my battery went bad and my car was done for a couple of hours in Lexington. Dad and I went to Wal-Mart and got a new battery (of course the free replacement warrenty expired just 15 days ago...figures). Then I went and got my oil changed and all that good crap. My jeep is almost at 100,000 miles. So if it can last five more good years...I'm set!
Hope all are doing well, keep me updated on you!

Patience Pays Off Again...
Well...the last couple weeks has been absolutely crazy! I have felt like a woman during her Menopause stage (no offense mom). hehe. It all started out by me making myself read A LOT for my own spiritual growth and for Candace and I's pre-marriage counseling.
To start out, I got an apartment in dowtown Lexington, right next to UK. It is actually called Campus Court at Red Mile. Red Mile is a horse track in Lexington and I'll be able to go catch a race if I want to (but that probably won't happen). I plan on riding my bike to class...rain, sun, or snow!!! My new address is:
Kevin L. Flora
935 Red Mile Rd.
Apartment #14204
Lexington, KY 40504
Feel free to come visit, write, or send money at any point! haha.
Also, to cap off everything else, God has finally blessed me with a place of employment. I am the newest employee at Eastern State Psychiatric Hospital! I will be a "Mental Health Associate" where my main duties will include observing the patient's behavior, reporting to the Psychologist/Psychiatrist, and helping with medications. There are approximately 150 patients in the hospital everyday, most of which reside in the hospital. It was built in the 1840's, but they are starting to build a brand new, state of the art hospital that will be complete in 2012. Hopefully, I can work my way up and by the time I obtain my Ph.D., I can be a Psychologist in the new hospital. Here is a picture of it currently:
So, as life goes on, things just seem to get more and more difficult, but there are times when things finally start to come together. God has been smiling on me these past couple of weeks as things are beginning in my lonely year ahead. I'll be busy enough though with a job and classes to not be lonely.
Candace and I continue our wedding plans. SHE GOT A DRESS!!! From what I hear, it's not like the normal wedding dress. I don't know anything besides that though. Everyone else just says that it looks beautiful. Her brother (Stuart Grant) is getting married on July 25th, so we will be going to that wedding and we have a wedding this weekend to go to! Love is in the air.
And finally, since everyone else (including ESPN) has given their two cents on Michael Jackson, I guess I will too. I liked the "Free Willy" song and that's about it. I also laughed at his voice when he talked.
P.S. - I get to see my favorite "God-daughter"/niece this weekend after Candace and I get back from the wedding and I'm very excited!
