Sunday, Sunday, Sunday

My first week is over and on to the new week. It's starting off great!

Tom said that he was very impressed with what I was capable of learning in a week. So that's a plus, and very nice. Like I said, it's a lot better working as a manager because there's so much to do. Although my nights are boring still, but soon enough I'll be off of them. I got kinda screwed tonight because some people thinks its good to call off in a text, at 7:30am. No call, nothing. So now I'm here till 11 instead of 9. My plans are none now, and no one can cover 6-11. Understanding that this is my job, I'm just angry that was the way she called off. I woulda worked until 6 today, and it woulda been fine.

Enough on ranting about my job.

Movies I've Seen Recently! I saw The Expendables. It was really good. A definite dude movie, but the action is incredible. So much blood and cool ways to be killed. Also saw Inception, which was amazing. The concept of it was origional in it's own way, and leaves it open for interpretation. Also saw Scott Pilgram vs. The World. It was decent. I'm not a big fan of Michael Cera so it took a little bit of the movie away from me. Otherwise, the action and videogame esque part of it was good. I felt like all the actors and actresses were good in it (besides Mr. Cera). I think that is all the movies I've seen recently. I believe we are going to see Machete tomorrow, so that'll be fun.

I guess that's it for now. Until then, Adios!

september 2nd

I'm going to try really hard to keep a blog going. It's failed me in the past, but the way technology is today, it'll be easier. Or at least that's what i think.

I'm halfway through my first week of training, and so far I really enjoy it. I feel like it's the right fit, just because i'm not bored doing my job. It's a challenge, but not a big one. Nothing i cant handle anyway. I've got my schedule until October 15th, so my life is planned until then.

September 21st I got subpoenaed to court. Brandon and I witnessed an accident and the guy is fighting it. So, could be just for that day or multiple days. Which sucks, because I want to know how much time I need off. I'm also hoping that it doesnt last till the 30th, because that's when i'm leaving for Ohio.

It's my first year doing the buddy walk, and I'm excited. With not having Brandi I don't have to watch her and the house. So my last vacation at least till next year. Can't wait to see all my cousins that couldn't come up this past month.

Well I guess that's all for now!

It's been a great month.

This past month and I guess today also has really been awesome. Not only did I get promoted as Assistant General Manager at the hotel, Brandon also became a manager on the second floor of The B.O.B. Everything in life seems to be in order, or at least starting. Both of our jobs recognize how hard we work and how well we do it. It's exciting! So Congrats Brandon!

Starting New

So starting Monday, August 30th I'll be in training for the Assistant General Manager position at Extended Stay of America. Woo! Exciting!

Check it out!

Wow...

I guess I should keep everyone updated huh? That would be great.

This summer I went camping twice. Not that interesting I know, but it was fun for me. The first time I went camping it was for 6 days? So a whole entire week. Went to Grand Haven like usual with Teri, Amy, Roger, Angel, and Mary. Ended up going to the beach a bunch of times, so I got my basis for a tan. It was awesome, except for when we went swimming in a red flag. That was interesting. I'm not a very good swimmer, but Matt was there to help me back in. lol. Did I mention I caught a frog?




Then my birthday came. Brandon sent me on a shopping spree that was filled with books, clothes, and a series on DVD. (I won't tell you what, because then everyone will know I'm truly a geek at heart.) So that was great and fun! The day after my birthday I went camping with Brandon's family. It was so much fun. Except for the huge spiders! (No pics, was to damn scared of them) We ended up sleeping in the van our last night there because the tent zipper broke and I didn't want to sleep with the spiders.... Eww. Well we ended up swimming almost everyday, went tubing where I found some cool shells. We also went and climbed Sleeping Bear dunes. It only took us a half hour to do it. If we go next year, I'll be ready for it! Oh did I mention? We caught a snake! I was the first one to hold it, besides Brandon's dad. Brandon took a good 10 minutes not wanting to hold it. He even told me that if I threw it at him, he'd break up with me... So I didn't. But he held it eventually...






Then after that, was me and Brandon's 1 year anniversary. We went to dinner and then saw the new Harry Potter movie. It was really awesome, and we had a great time.

So now that I've caught you up, look for part 2. This isn't all that's been going on, but I'm gonna be leaving work soon, so I got to scram!

Flying High in the Sky

That's right, I did it. I went skydiving. It was definitely awesome! Something that I want to do over and over again. To bad it's so expensive... Oh well. I got some pictures that I took, and then Brandon is going to take pics off of the video. So everyone can see me fly. It was a great experience. And for anyone wanting to do it, just do it. You won't regret it.
