... that I have the greatest job ever???

I LOVE MY JOB.

For a few months now, I've been working on planning a retreat with my boss.  He is in charge of a retreat every year for our company's brokers, so this year I got to help.  I took care of all the RSVPs, made arrangements at the lodge, booked all the spa appointments, bought gifts, helped with setting up the casino night, reserved snowmobiles, prepared PowerPoint presentations,
AND GOT MY PARTY ON!

Thursday afternoon, my boss and I went up to Daniel's Summit Lodge to get everything ready.  This place is awesome!  Great atmosphere (log cabin, rustic, westerny feel), awesome staff, and lots of amenities.  And except for a 5 minute period where I thought that I had forgotten the name tags at the office, everything went off without a hitch!  It was so much fun!!!  We started off the night with a social hour, then dinner and presentations (during all of which I was running around like a crazy, paranoid person making sure everything went smoothly), and then the fun really started!

Matt and I played Blackjack for a few hours and had a ton of fun!  Course, it can only be fun when it's fake gambling for raffle tickets...  But we learned a lot about the game and even ended up with a few extra tickets for the raffle!  So fun!  We finally called it a night at around 1 in the morning I think... 

The next morning, after a half-asleep, bleary-eyed breakfast at 7:30, everyone got to go snowmobiling!!!

The lodge is up in the Heber mountains in the middle of nowhere, and there was a huge snowmobiling trail with tons of meadows and paths all over the summit.  It was gorgeous!!!  It snowed on and off and was a little bit freezing, but it was a blast!  Except for the part when we had to dig Matt's machine out of the snow for 30 minutes... and then had to dig out another guy's machine after that... but that just comes with the territory I guess.  We rode all over the mountain for a couple hours and had a GREAT time!

We had a quick lunch at the lodge grill, then drove home happy and absolutely exhausted.  I may have fallen asleep on the couch the second we got home.  And took a 3 hour nap.  It was glorious.  And I can't wait to do it all over again next year!

I love my job!
