sooooooo my job absolutely rocks. i have a blast every single day. considering how much time one spends at work, that's pretty important. i love the people i work with, i love what i'm doing, i love where i'm working, i love my company...seriously, happiest girl ever right now!!! and i haven't even started my big project yet! it's exciting and different every day and i'm learning so much. this job will be amazing for my future and that just makes me so pleased on every level :) basically everyone should go out and buy Pinnacle Entertainment stock because this company is doing great things, and you should also come visit Belterra Casino Resort & Spa because it's gorgeous and fun :)

living in Vevay, IN, is perfectly fine for me. my hotel room has turned into kind of a little studio apartment, probably much to the dismay of the hotel managers. ha. too bad for them. there isn't much to do or anything, but i can certainly live. no different than eagle river. plus i have some cool friends here to always socialize with. yay :)

and on another happy note, this month is just pretty much the most awesome month ever! let's recap:
-first week was in vegas, which was amazing, duh
-second week was my first week of work, which of course was awesome
-last weekend i picked up my kitty cat (YAYYYYY!!!! SO happy to have him back!!!)
-this weekend Evan is coming down for the Swiss Wine Fest here in Vevay, which will be very very fun because Haley's boyfriend is also coming up from Florida
-and next weekend is Labor Day and i'll be going to Washington DC for the first time ever!!! YAY!!!! i am SO excited!!! plus i get to be shown around by a local...and meet the parents :)

overall things are going well. and oddly enough, it seems that things are going well for a lot of people in my life and that just makes everything that much better. i feel so great when all my friends and family are happy too!

so...life is good :)
