Wedding Bells

Today my boss's only daughter got married. They held the ceremony on the patio of the hotel, right next to the lake, absolutely beautiful day. Things were strangely calm last night in the hotel, considering it was opening day! Mostly we are booked up with wedding guests, so other than a screaming 2 year old (flower gal), things were quiet.

I had to heat up the little girl's sippy cup with milk more times than I can calmly say...

Just one of the job perks, I guess.

I am helping train the newbies, while learning to do the audit, and keep on top of the payables. It's not so stressful, but I try not to think of my long to do list. I do love paying other people's bills, a strange satisfaction I gain from that. I think it's because it's a tangible task, and once it's done, it's done...until the next bill, that is. Besides, I'm not spending MY money in the process :-)

I always learn alot about how to run a hotel whenever I have worked here. Maybe I will make this my career and run my own B&B one day...

Yesterday I heard the cannon go off from the fort on the bluff. (they do re-enactments for tourists, and just shoot off the cannon, not loaded of course) It reminded me of Palestine. I am often reminded of Jerusalem, but it seems so odd...to think tomorrow is Pentecost. I have seen the "upper room" the places in Jerusalem where such events have taken place. But I have yet to know where to place them in my own life, my own mind.

They do not haunt me here. Nothing bothers me here. I am fulfilled.
