I woke up and turned my alarm clock off and checked my phone. I groaned 4am was an awful time to wake up. I pulled jeans on and threw a sweatshirt over my tee shirt.
I stumbled down the steps and grabbed my keys. I started to walk out the house, when I ran back in for a cup of coffee.I arrived at the rodeo and turned on all the lights and walked through to the barn. I chatted to the horses, I fed the horses then I started to turn them out in their pasture and started to muck out their stalls. I was almost done when I had to pee, the closest bathroom was in the locker room so I walked in. I turned on the lights and ran into the bathroom. I came out and washed my hands then walked back to the barn.
I walked out of the locker room and finished in the barn. It was around 5:30 am when I finished sweeping the barn so I decided to take a scrub brush and start scrubbing down the walls of the barn, it didn't seem like they have ever been scrubbed so it took a little bit of elbow greece but I finally got the true color of the paint back up. I sighed finishing the last spot, I looked back at my work and smiled, the barn looked ten times better. The sun started to come up so I opened up the big barn doors to let some sunshine in. I decided since I was bored all week that I was just going to start cleaning up the barns. I then walked out of the barn and started to scrub water tubs and fill them back up. I looked at my phone and it was only 9:00am. I sighed I didn't have anything to do at home so I decided to continue to clean the barn. I got down and started to scrub the floor as well. I saw that is wasn't doing such a good job so I decided to call Chip.
"hello" he said answering his phone.
" hi Chip it's Katie" I said
" hey Katie, hows my barn" He asked.
" it's good, just finished sweeping" I lied, I kind of wanted it to be a surprise.
"good good, the boys said hi" He said I laughed.
" I have just a quick question" I said
" yeah sure what is it" He asked
" well I was wondering if you have a power washer, because I need to borrow one" I said
"uh yeah it's in the back shed next to the first pasture by the big barn doors." He said,
"oh awesome thanks" I said.
" do you want me to say hi to anyone in particular" Chip chuckled
"say hi to Luke for me" I said.
"Will do" he said," I'll see you soon" he said and hung up.I walked out of the barn and grabbed the power washer and started to spray the floors. It looked ten times better, made it look like a whole new barn floor. I finished and I was amazed at how good it looked. I turned off the machine and walked outside, the wind blew and I shivered, realizing that my shirt and sweatshirt were soaked through. I walked into the locker room, remembering passing Luke's locker I opened it up hoping to find a sweatshirt that I could borrow, I looked in and saw a hoodie hanging up. I peeled off my tee shirt and sweatshirt and put his on, it smelled just like him. I went to close his locker door when something stopped me, I pulled the door open wider and looked at a picture that he attached to his door. I smiled at the picture, It was a picture of me driving, I never saw him take the photo but it was the cutest thing ever. I smiled he was so incredibly sweet.
