getting ready for horse show

Today has been a busy day in the kitchen, we are getting ready to serve 300 people on Saturday.
We had to wipe down shelves and little jobs to make the kitchen acceptable. It's hard to believe that on Tuesday I will be leaving, it seems like yesterday we got here. I got offered a job to come back next year as one of the nurse assistants, if all works out I will be here next summer :) which is exciting and worrisome b/c of the drama that we had this year. well whatever the Lord has in plan. next time i write i'll be sitting in my bed with my puppy by my side :) :) ttyl.

8 more days!

Today is my day off, it is my last day off until i head home. Next weekend is the horse show, and you know how much the kitchens like that. when i get home my sister Andrea and I are going shopping for clothes for school and apt. shopping. i can't wait. well that's all kinda boring around here. ttyl

what has happened in 13 days

we had midterm from the 13 to the 15th of July. I came back and the kids came on Wednesday. Thursday morning i woke up and I felt sick. I went to the nurses station and they gave me cough drops. She asked for my symptoms and that was the end. I was admitted into the quarantine with the other 12 girls. And i stayed there until Tuesday until I was on anti-biotic .

Today Rae Ann and I went on trash run. We got done with girls camp and we were down by the compactors and the car stalled and we figured out we had to get gas. WOO what a idea. haha. Then we finally got to the bear pit and there was three bears. One bear came down and Rae Ann and I got tons of pics, we honked the horn to get him to go away and it worked for about 2 minutes. then he came back. We got more pics and then we were like 10 feet away and we got majorly growled at. We were scared shitless and we got in the truck and rolled up the windows. we finally got the trash dumped and we came back to share our story.

oh what a beautiful morning oh what a beautiful day

Today was an interesting day, to say the least. This morning it was soo hard to get up. It made my head hurt thinking I had three meals left before I was done for the day. But thank goodness time flew by and now there is only one more meal left! I was lucky enough not to do trash today (we had soup yesterday) if that explains anything. well i decided that bathroom cleaning was going to be the highlight of my day. I strapped on those hot yellow gloves and started to clean. well i was almost done cleaning and i scrubbed the toilet and i was putting it away and one drop of cleaner shot into my eye. I thought oh CRAP! i ran to the sink in the kitchen and Karin helped me rinse it out. i then went to the nurse and they flushed it out even more. It is still a little red and it still burns a little but it will be better when i get married. hehe. well other than that tomorrow is my day off and i think i'm just going to bum around camp. i'll write later!

WOW only 5 weeks left

I can't believe that we only have a little over a month left! i am glad that this summer is coming to an end but it has been a great experience. It's taught me how to get along with different kinds of people and it has give me a chance to spread my wings and to become more independent. The past week I went into town on my day off, and on the 4th we had a nice meal for the kids and i watched the fireworks over the valley. it was weird to look down on them and hear the boom 30 sec. later. They saw the bear yesterday, but today he was not there.

Weather was chilly yesterday but it's very nice today. other than that. i'll write later <3

I SAW MY FIRST BEAR TODAY!

Today was an exciting day. It started off as a normal day would, dishes for breakfast, then to decide who is going on the sweaty and disgusting trash run. Well since Lark sprained her ankle, I was the lucky one. We did all the other trash and then off to collect the food. On the way to the pit we picked up Kawana and Linda. They had never been and everybody needs to see how fabulous the pit is! we get there and we look into the woods to see if there is any movement, we don't see any so we continue to dump our trash. we get back in the truck and start to pull away when Linda says, look over there it's a bear. Devin and I jumped out of the truck and we looked back in the weeds, and sure enough a big black bear was coming to eat the fresh ham we had just dumped. It was the coolest thing ever. Lark wasn't too excited since every time she doesn't go we see one. She will see one eventually, i just know it.
Well other than that. I have tomorrow off and if my allergies are better I may head into town and look around. Or i might just sleep. who knows! write later <3

Pizza for lunch and a walk around the lake

We had pizza for lunch today, and it wasn't the greatest. a lot of people liked it, i guess i've been spoiled as a child with my mom's cookin'. Well it finally is raining again, and i got my rain coat in the mail :) the color is cute, but i will have to get use to it. Tonight were going to lake Estes and out for ice cream, all of the support staff is going. i'm excited to get out and take pics of downtown. Every time we go down i forget my camera, i promise i won't tonight :) well other than that, write later
