Vegas

01

"SERIOUSLY??" I squealed talking to my best friend Kay on the phone.

"Yes girl. Why would I lie??" She squealed back.

"Omg omg omg omg" I said trying to calm myself down.

"Now all you have to do is take off from work and pack your bags, WE'RE GOING TO VEGAS!" She screamed.

That's the day I got the best news in forever, also the beginning of a crazy month that I couldn't prepare for.

I got up from the couch and did a happy dance.

Is this seriously happening? Thank god for good friends, with powerful parents!

Soon my phone buzzed and I got a text from Kay with the details.

We were staying at the hotel that her father co owned, the mirage, and when we were flying out.

We leave in 5 days for 2 weeks!

I guess I better take that shopping spree I've been saving up for you.

After a long 4 days later I was leaving for Vegas tomorrow. I have never been, so I am about to faint from all the excitement.

I walked outside into the crisp air and began dialing my partner, Reagan.

We both work on a futurity ranch under Jolene Montgomery, we're like her payed interns. We get to train and run some of the horses that come through here

(Futurity horses are young horses 2-4 in age that are trained and run barrels for a crazy ton of money)

This is all I've ever wanted to do since I was little, after i graduated high school this opportunity, so I decided not to go to college and now I've been working here 2 years and talking about getting my own ranch once the funds come in. 

"Hey girl!" Reagan's voice came over the phone.

"Hey chick. Where ya at?"

"Down at the barn getting Cheeky"

"Ok I'm headed that way" I said hanging up and walking into the barn to find Reagan starting to saddle Cheeky.

Cheeky is a weird name, but he's one of my favorites! His whole name is Dashing Me Ta Cheeky Fame, cute right.

I saddled my all time favorite horse I trained, my mare, Streaking Firewater Fling!

Just a crisp age of 3!

As me and Reagan rode around I told her about Vegas and what was going on. I had already told Jo and she was fine with it, so all I have left is to get Reagan to help pick up more of my horses while I'm gone.

"Sure girly! I got it! You go have fun, you deserve it" she beamed

"You are the best!"

After we got done riding 5 horses each it was already getting late so we put them up, then fed the others and headed up to the house me and her shared.

We quickly went upstairs and checked over everything I had packed.

"Excited" she asked folding some pants.

"I might faint" I laughed.

"Just try not to get married ok" she laughs a little

"Yeah right. I'd like to see the man that fits my standards, even when I'm drunk" I laughed and finished putting clothes in the suit case.
