Happy and Sad News

I come home from work and Todd informs me that we received a call from the owners of the campground we are managing stating that he has a potential buyer for the campground good news for them sad news for us. 

We are so happy here and love managing this park and watching it grow and get better. The possible new owner will not need our services since he has his own crew so now we are searching for a new job for the summer. 

The potential buyer shows up and absolutely loves the park and personally who wouldnt and informs us that they are buying the place :-) / :-( now we really need to find a place we were not going to look until we knew for sure but now that we got the news we are on the hunt,

2 days into our hunt we got in contact with crooked creek resort in hill city,SD here is a link to their page www.crookedcreeksd.com we talked to them sent a resume and references and within a hour we have a new job for the summer and we could not be more excited. It is a place I have never been to Todd on the other hand has spent some time there since we rode Harley's and Sturgis is there but I am so excited to get there and see all the fantastic fun thing to do.If you have any suggestions of places to see or go contact me on Facebook I would love to hear of all the places to see and things to do.

We are sad to leave here but excited to head on our next adventure. We start May 15 2015 and we will probably leave here end of April since we can check into the park as early as May 1st 2015. This could not be a better place since we need to be in ND for the Sugar Beet harvest in Sept and ironically enough that is when this job we expected ends could not be anymore perfect!!! 

We are so happy that the current owners have sold the park and it was a pleasure working with them and meeting them and we wish them all the luck in the future thanks for letting us manage it for the short time!!! :-) 

New Camera And A Headache

I could not have been happier with my birthday gift my new camera. All the pictures I took on my birthday were taken with this fantastic camera it is waterproof dust proof and shock proof just what I need because it always takes a beating with me dropping it. I have had it for two days and have not tried to figure out how to work the WiFi until Sunday morning to upload all the photos I had taken.

Here comes the headache the dame WiFi will not work and that is the whole reason hubby bought me this camera. We are a little annoyed with the fact that is does not work. We read all the directions downloaded everything that needed to be downloaded and it still does not work. However hubby did find this awesome feature on the camera that I love love love.....color pop....here are some of the pictures that were taken with the color pop feature







Sad enough we had to take the camera back because it was not working. In small town Hugo they did not have another on like the one I got and they did not have any other good camera's there with WiFi so now i am searching for the perfect camera that work lmao... So now I am back to my repaired camera still love it but am searching for the new one like I have been for almost a year now lol...But it did take AMAZING PICTURES!!!

MY Birthday Weekend

March 14th 1987 My Mom gave birth to a fantastic person........ME 


Its my birthday and of course I took off work and made it A BIRTHDAY WEEKEND. My hubby has been battling with himself on what to buy me for my birthday and I could not even think of what he would be buying me. I get home from work on Friday the 13th (btw it is my mothers favorite day) and hubby tells me I must wait in the car while he gets everything ready to start off my Birthday weekend. Finally I get to go in and he has the place all decorated and cupcakes with candles and the flames change color I was so happy. I blew out all the candles in one shot so my wish should come true right??!!! lol..

The brings my gift and boy does my hubby know me well.. the bag in pink and sparkly with pink confetti in it with pink tissue paper it was the perfect bag and if there would have been nothing in it I would have been happy with just the bag LMAO....shhh lets not tell him that tho haha

I open it up and there is a brand new camera!!!!! WOOO HOOO... and it is WiFi capable that is the best so I can just upload all my photos and post them to my blog easier... I open it and start taking pictures right away!!!! oh and give him a great big hug and kisses!!!after that we relax a few then head to the casino. Yes the casino was super busy and could not hardly get on machines and I waited forever to get on a poker table and never did but we had a BLAST!!!! and this was just one night of my birthday weekend...:-)

Saturday my actual birthday we woke up really early and headed to a bigger town Paris,TX there are a few places I wanted to see there and just wanted to get out of the little towns that we are in in OK. Of course it was raining on my birthday on and off but I was not going to let that ruin my day at all... we went and checked out the Eiffel Tower Texas style I will posted some pictures I just wish it would have been a little bigger then it was but it was still awesome! Then we just explores the downtown square of Paris,TX. In a new town I wanted to  research a unique place to eat for lunch... I found this awesome little burger joint do not judge it from the outside or the neighborhood YOU MUST GO IN AND EAT THERE... the place is called Burger Land here is a link to their Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Burgerland-Paris-Texas/267820064259
They have amazing burgers and fries...... be warned only order a small fry it could feed a family of 4 trust me I will show a picture of the small fry lol... yummy I recommend you eat there anytime heading through Paris,TX

After we ate and we walked out I saw a bingo behind burgerland.....I love me some bingo so I said lets go check the prices for a later date since it was around 3:30 bingo normally does not run around those times.... Walked in and what are the chances a session has just started and you better of bet we played lol... Almost done the last game Todd asked me "14 or 15" I said 14 of course because it's my birthday well I get the card and the card number was 314 how crazy and ironic was this... oh an it is my favorite game the "quickie" BINGO!!!! I win on the last game with the car number 314 and It was 3/14 I asked the lady if I could keep the card she said "No" so I took a picture of it I will post it.

I had a great birthday and I still have one more day to celebrate ;-)

































Sawyer,Oklahoma

I am going to catch up on everything since I have last posted which I know is some time ago lol...

We left FL and headed to Sawyer,Oklahoma to manager Sawyer RV Park we could not be happier to get on the road again after a brief resting period from selling Christmas Tree's. We made it to Sawyer,OK beginning of Feb and started managing the park Feb 11th. We are so excited to be here and bring this place back to life. If you are not familiar with this area is it really small town 10 miles away from Hugo,OK. A lot of fisherman come her because of the big lake Hugo and there are great places to put your Rv as well ;-) 

When we arrived here the weather was gorgeous sunny skies and warm I was so happy. Well after being here for a little over 3 weeks the forecast had changed RAIN RAIN RAIN.... oh wait and SNOW... now if you have not followed my blog I LOVE SNOW but cant drive in it to save my life. When I saw we were going to get snow I COULD NOT CONTAIN MYSELF. One night we got maybe an inch over night and I woke up to see it just in time because the next day it warmed up so quick it melted within the hour. Before it melted I did mange to get Cosmo outside and have him experience his first snow ever!! He was so cute kind of looking at it like "what is this stuff its cold" type of look but then he loved playing in it. The next week the forecast was calling for 3-5 inches of snow and boy did it snow it layed and it was so pretty but it also came with sleet and freezing rain everything was frozen. Being the crazy weather here in OK it warmed  up and melted almost everything with 3 hours of me being awake I was just so happy to be able to see it and play in it with the puppies and not have to drive it in ;-)  

Now that I have seen snow and had TONS of rain I am just ready for the sun to shine and I can soak it up... My skin if feeling sun deprived lol...BRING ON THE SUN OKLAHOMA!!!

While managing the RV park is awesome it is very small and not a whole lot to do for me I went and got a part-time job so I did not drive Todd crazy with being bored. I am a assistant manager at the local KFC if you are driving through Hugo,OK stop in and say hello lol... Todd basically manages the RV park himself and he loves it and we have brought this place back to life for sure and we are so proud of ourselves. Todd has designed and created new signs for the road signs they look AWESOME!! Todd also designed and maintains the new website for Sawyer RV Park check it out at www.sawyerrvpark.com I will also post a picture of the new sign he designed.
