This past month has been INSANE. I have been working all month and the one weekend I did have off I went home and surprised Baby Jonah at his senior night football game. I was so good. Thankfully no one at home gave away the surprise, and it was perfect timing Keith Urban was having his concert on Friday. So on Thursday was the first day of Keith load-in, so all of the posters and stuff directing people in back of house went up. I took pictures on Thursday around the building and sent them to Jonah throughout the day while I had layovers on Friday. Then I showed up at his football game and he was surprised. I think it was more fun for me to know I was surprising him than it was for him to have me there. Oh well, it was also really fun because Jarrett is living near home, and Jack came home from Rexburg. We were just missing James. 

When I got back to Omaha, the next day I had a walk-through with the Secret Service, yeah that was stressful. I had no idea what to expect, but they were such nice guys. On Tuesday Laura Bush came and spoke at a luncheon. I was able to meet her, and it was awesome! It was just me, her, and about 10 secret service agents. Pretty crazy! My year has been made, I met someone I admire. It was awesome. One of the agents texted me the other day and asked me if I had come down from my high and I said I probably wouldn't be down for a while.

He's no Rexy, but...this dog made sure we had no bombs in the facility.

I am Secret Service Official!!

Ummm..yeah some clients ROCK!!
I randomly got this package from one of my clients this month. She was so great, and I was shocked when I saw the box. It was insane and was a pretty great surprise at the end of a really long week. I called my dad and told him the bar has been raised, I was kidding, kind of..hahaha :)

Des Moines

A few months ago, one of my old roommates, Ruthann and her husband Ross found out that they got into Med School in Des Moines. I was so excited to have friends so close (well, relatively...2 hours)? I finally went and saw them last weekend and had a blast! We went to the Farmer's Market downtown.

It was nice to catch-up and see them. They are SO married and happy! YAY. I haven't really seen/hung out with R&R since their wedding and school. That seems so long ago, but it wasn't really. Almost a year apparently. I am so excited that they are close! YAY for friends! Now if I can just get Jarrett, Steph, Lindsey, Lauren, etc out here, that would be so great! 

Later in the day we went to Zombie Burger, a Des Moines favorite I guess. I am so not into Zombie's but the burgers were good :). Everything was named after a zombie, dead thing, or whatever the Goosebumps world has to offer. You have to try everything once right?
