A Week in Casper

Seth and I are in Casper this week. We don't have wifi at our apartment yet and that is why this is so late and why I am sitting in the Mcdonalds parking lot writing this right now.

It has been a crazy week, surprise surprise. We got our branding done this week thanks to our wonderful family who came from Lusk to help us! It went fast and pretty easy besides one of our crazy cows. We have had her for three years and still haven't got a brand on her or been able to get her in a trailer because every time we get her in the corrals she jumps the fence, no matter how strong that part of the fence is. We can chase her all over the ranch to get her back in and she just jumps another fence. Every time we get her in she either has a calf or is bred. Hopefully we can skip breeding her this year and get some steak out of her finally.

We are lucky enough to get to have our nephew, Jacob, for the summer. He will be helping out at the ranch so hopefully we won't fall behind on all our work between the ranch and driving.

Seth is on a run right now and has been gone for the last three days. I am excited to say that he will be back in a few hours. I am definitely a small town girl, not a city girl. It has been interesting for me to drive and find my way around this crazy place. The good thing is that yesterday I got a job. I am very excited about it and it sounds just like the perfect job we need to fit our random crazy schedule. I was just going there to meet the Director of Nursing and get an application. He ended up showing me around the place. It is an assisted living place and I will pretty much be reminding the residents about lunch and wii bowling with them. He took me into one of the ladies rooms to meet her and her family. We went into his office after and said he wants to extend the job to me. My interaction with the resident was my interview even though I didn't know it until after. I am excited to get started on this new journey in my life!!

Well, I better go get some McDonalds so my stomach can stop growling. Hopefully by next week I will have wifi and can write more about what is going on. Have a great week!!
