May 22, I started my new job at the Prairie Club! I had ordination that day and got to go out to the Lodge itself. It was quite exciting, and it is gorgeous out there, I'm loving it more and more each day. That weekend I helped out at the Lodge for the grand opening, organizing things, cleaning and making membership cards.
On Tuesday 25th we had the Valentine BBQ Open house, where locals could come and see the Lodge and have a free dinner. A lot of the family came out, Grandma, Grandpa, Steve, Carrie, Grace, True, Sarah, Tony, Greg, Tracee, Rex, Gale, Justin, Marshall and James. I gave some of them a tour of the Lodge it was really fun, the food was delicious and they even had a bag piper!
Then the next day was our Charter member or Investor golf welcome, I got to meet a lot of the people who helped fund and create the golf course and the club it self. Also on Wednesday I dyed my blonde, yay! So I'm a blonde again and I'm having tons of fun haha. And the little girls came over and spent the night with Justin and James cause I had to go to work.
On the next day (Thursday) we swam in the pond, well I take that back we slip n' slid into pond, because we had been draining it. But it was still fun, I think I like the slip n' slide better than just swimming anyways. The got burnt really bad, I felt bad for them, sunburns are the worst. Then that night I rode back with the girls to Cody and spent the night with them.
May 28th Carrie, myself, Sarah, True, Grace, Andrea, and Annie all drove up to Keystone to see the faces. And Carrie took us through Custer State park (which I had never been before) and it was so pretty. We stopped along the way and took pictures and we even drove through tunnels!! The faces were really cool and fun, different from the last time I went but still good. Andrea was a foreign exchange student from Guatemala and she had to see Mt Rushmore before she went home, I mean what's the point of coming to America if you don't get to see one of our National Monuments??
May 29th Justin and I drove back up to Rapid for Mary K's and Reed's bachelor parties. Wow is all I have to say, most of the night is inappropriate for public blogging, if you want to know ask me in person and you must be over 18 maybe even 19, it was that bad haha. But everyone had a BLAST!! And I got to spend time with Shae, which was awesome! I'm glad she went because I am not a crazy drinker so I got to chill and be mellow with her.
Then on Sunday we drove from Rapid to Lincoln, because we had graduation party to go to. Needless to say we did not make it to that party :( That is a long way with only 3 hours of sleep! Still sorry about that Sami. But we also had to go down to Lincoln to take care of my mom's animals while her and my dad were in Vegas. I'm so excited that me and Justin get to go next year! They bought us present's while we were there, they got Justin this really cool batman shirt that lights up when it hears sound and I got a rhine stone Las Vegas shirt that is really pretty. Also while we were down there we packed and cleaned up more of our house :(
June 2nd, We drove back to Valentine because I had to work that night, first night by myself. It was fun, nothing bad happens but then again nothing bad will ever happen on my shift. The whole staying awake at night has not been hard for me at all. I love staying up late and now I get paid to do so. Then I worked from the 2nd till the 6th but in the meantime there was also another big event in there: Reed and Mary K's wedding!! yay
June 3rd is when I got my early birthday present, a Yukon XL, black, leather seats, Bose system Oh yeah!! Best birthday ever!!
Friday June 4th was the rehearsal dinner and practice, TJ brought some beer for everyone to taste. It wasn't bad but then again I'm no expert of beers. Cooper was calling it barley pop and asking people if they wanted him to go get them more, he also did this at the actually wedding it was Hilarious.
June 5th was their wedding, and it was so nice! Everyone looked great, nothing went wrong and the reception was fun as heck. I did a lot of dancing as usual and while everyone was having a grand ole time I snuck off with my two side kicks, True and Sarah to decorate the happy couple's hotel room. We put candles around the room, spread rose petals around, iced champagne, got fresh strawberries and lots of chocolate. The room looked and smelt way better after we were through with it, after that we went back to the party to eat some cake. Then :( I had to go to work.
Sunday June 6th Justin, Gale, and I went our to Grandma's house because the family was installing her new floor, it looks good too! But this day I got sick, I think I ate something bad, which always happens to me, I need to be more picky sometimes. But I still went to work, for a while. I got everything done in like 2 hours I was like speedy gonzales and I was trying not to throw up in front of the guests. One of the only nights guests stayed up late had to be that night, but oh well they had no idea. Anyways so apparently that night was a night from you know where, after I left when my boss got there the alarm kept going off and she had to stand by it the whole night and press silence every 5 minutes and then another girl made too much coffee so much it was leaking down stairs in the caddie room, there was standing coffee in the kitchen. I told them I was glad I went home early, hehehe
The next day it was back down to Lincoln to paint the house and pack/clean up some more. Can't wait to move into my new house, then maybe I will stop being so sad about moving out of the Lincoln one. While we were down in Lincoln we saw my parents and ate dinner with them, but I was sick for all of it so we took it slow. Also while we were down there I got to see Kelsey before she moved to California. We went wedding reception hall shopping, haha! I'm lovn' it more this time because it's not my day. I don't have to pay for it, or plan it I just have to be supportive, throw a party or two, show up the day of the wedding and look pretty. It's really exciting though and I'm so happy for her too!!
Wednesday it was back up to Valentine for work again. When we left Valentine on Sunday it was storming and raining and when we came back to Valentine on Wednesday it was still storming and raining ( and it did for the whole week). I don't like storms and every night it stormed and I was all alone and scared! One night the wind even threw around the patio furniture, uhh scary stuff.
Thursday night was probably my most interesting night working at the Lodge so far! I had to baby sit drunks, haha. They were so far gone that I had to help them into their rooms. One man for some reason or another decided to come out of his room and I don't know if he was just to embarrassed to ask me to let him back into his room again or what but he slept the remainder of the night in the men's locker room. I told the story to people before I left work that morning and people were telling it to me that night when I came back into work. I was like I know I was there! Then the rest of the week like I said was just stormy and rainy. It was so bad that we were in a flood warning for 3 days and they closed the golf courses for 2 1/2 days.
Monday June 14th good old flag day, haha, it was my day off and I didn't do a darn thing. It felt so good.
On Tuesday I cleaned the little house because my parent's are coming to stay with us and it's a mess. We have too much stuff for this little house!! So all in all a pretty boring day
Wednesday June 15th, Ryan's birthday! I made him a card that say's the Big O and the O was a block O, I know I'm so clever. And I couldn't decided if I should send 1 $20 or 20 $1s so I sent both, but now (after I mailed it) I have made up my mind, I should have only sent 1 $20 because the 20 $1s is for his 21st, oh well. But back here in Nebraska we had a birthday/welcome back party. James went to Washington DC for 2 weeks and he had just gotten back. Some of the Ford family came out we ate, swam and danced. It was a ton of fun! And I got the year 2 harry potter box set thingy!! Love it!! Oh and it might have been this day or the day before, but I booked our "Harrymoon" tickets!! We are going to the Harry Potter theme park for our honeymoon, I'm so excited. Plus I got an amazing deal on it! But any who, I had to leave early from this party and on my drive out to work I thought of a brilliant idea, Dance Birthday Party on Friday! So that night and Thursday we invited people to this party, one day in advance that's good right?
Thursday when I got off of work, I wasn't tired could you blame me I was all jacked up about Birthday Jam! So I went to work with Justin for a little while, he was doing some raking in the pivot behind their house and I got to ride in the tracker with him. It was really nice, I got to spend extra time with him just one on one and we got to talk about lots of different things. I might have to partake in bring your wife to work day more often. Plus I just think farm equipment is the coolest thing ever, I get really excited about the little things in life, they make me happy. After I got done riding around with Justin I cleaned up the shed a little then went to sleep because I had to work that night.
Friday June 18th, aka My birthday!! oh and Marshall's too! After I got off work I had a huge list of stuff I had to get and get done for the party, so I ran all my errands James even helped me do some of them. We set up the shed and then I made cakes for me and Marshall. We had a pretty good turn out (for only having one days notice) around 20 people showed up through out the night. We ate hamburgers and hot dogs, played a lot of ping pong, play a little bit of wiffle ball, swam in the pond, ate cake, danced, and opened presents. It was so much one of the best birthdays ever! I don't know if I'll plan something like this next year, but you better watch out for our 21st and 25th birthdays, I've already started planing it's gonna be good! So I don't know if you noticed but I didn't mention sleep in there, thats because I didn't sleep from Thursday around 7pm till Saturday at 3 am. Lol but don't freak out mom because I made it up by sleeping in till 9:30pm on Saturday. Then I worked Saturday night, good times. I work a lot , but I really enjoy what I do and who I work with/for and the pay checks are so nice.
Well thats been my life for the last month, I promise I will get the pictures on here soon! Justin is re-formating the computer and I have to put all of my pictures back on there. So bare with me. I have a busy and exciting life so I will keep trying to post daily, plus that way I won't forget stuff that I did.
