Fixin' Things Up!

This post should probably go under current and future projects, except they are now "past" projects. Our maintenance and grounds crew have been working real hard to clean up after such a long winter!

 John fixed our front entry door so it doesn't slam shut every time someone goes in or out of it!

 Ty attempts to fix part of the fence that was damaged during the winter!

Jeff works on the landscaping on the corner...giving it a minor face lift. They cleaned up all the old bark, laid new black tarps, and then laid new bark. Looks great guys! Thanks for all your hard work!

WELCOME RICK & ADRIAN!

 We would like to welcome both Richard (Rick) Noble and Adrian Perez to our team as MA's! We are so excited to have two young, fresh, and energetic employees. They will bring lots of energy to this office! Hop on over to our Staff page (jrstaff.blogspot.com) for more information about our team and our two new Manager's Assistants!

Is that Green?

Isn't this just a BEAUTIFUL sight! That little bit of green sprouting out of the earth means that spring is almost here, despite all the snow and cold weather we've had through April and May. Before you know it, we'll be seeing green every direction we look! For now, enjoy all the green buds popping out!

Celebrating Magaret's Birthday!

Margaret is Triton Investments Director of Student Housing. We took a break on May 6th to celebrate her birthday...unfortunately, she couldn't make it to her own birthday party! We partied anyway!

From all of us at Jordan Ridge....Happy Birthday Margaret!

April Showers Bring May Flowers!

They say April showers bring May flowers...right? Well, we'll just see about that, because it seems awfully cold out to even think about planting flowers.

 Berb enjoys a good storm. He got down out of the flower pot to play in the hail while flashes of lightning and thunder filled the sky above.

 In just a matter of minutes, the ground was covered in white and it wasn't snow...it was hail!

 Our Assistant Manager, Elise, discovered that catching hail with her tongue isn't as enjoyable as catching snowflakes or rain drops falling from the sky!

 Unfortunately,  the storm wasn't only packed with thunder, lightning, and hail. Eventually, we got snow as well. Snow in May is a common thing here in Rexburg. Even if it is just a small layer, this proves that Rexburg is cold long into the spring time!

Does it look like Spring to you? All we can say is, "Welcome to Rexburg for the Spring semester!"

A Tribute to Rick and Derrick!

We recently lost two of the best employees ever: Rick Robinson and Derrick White. These two MA's served with us faithfully for over two years! The two of them have moved on to bigger and better things, but we wanted to publicly thank them for all of their hard work and contributions they made to our team! They will SURELY be missed. Most all, we wish them the best of luck in all their future endeavors!

BERB...

Meet BERB! We have NO idea where BERB came from, but he showed up in our front entrance flower pot during Winter 2011 check-outs with the given name of BERB. He is just too cute to dispose of, so we have left him in the flower pot. If it ever warms up in Rexburg, we'll plant some flowers around BERB and just leave him be. He is a friendly frog, that is for sure! He welcomes all of our guests and residents with a smile. Be sure to pet BERB every time you pass, because I am afraid he is here to stay!

April Check-Outs and Check-Ins!

April is always one of the busiest months of the year here in the office. We thank all of our Winter 2011 residents for such a fun semester. It may have been a cold one,  but it was sure a fun one! White glove seemed to be a huge success as well. Thanks to all of our residents who cleaned. It ALWAYS makes our job much easier.

Only 5 days after check-outs, we welcomed our Spring 2011 residents! We are so excited for this semester. The Spring is always a fun semester at the Ridge. We will be hosting our Annual BBQ this semester as well as many small facebook competitions and surprises. We will still offer our Famous Finals Week Breakfast at the end of the semester. Stay tuned for more information regarding the Spring 2011 semester at Jordan Ridge.

Resident Productions!

We really wanted to share this video with all our followers. A few current residents of Jordan Ridge were featured in this video, a couple of which were directly involved with the creation of the video. When we come across resident productions, we like to share them. We are so proud of all our residents and the good things they are producing. Way to go, guys!

Welcome to our team, ELISE!

We are so excited to welcome a new addition to our team! Elise Thompson has been hired as the new Assistant Manager for Jordan Ridge apartments. She has been married for 3 years and has one adorable 10 month old baby boy. She has an extensive background of management experience. We know she will bring many great and new ideas for Jordan Ridge. She will begin working for us on March 21st...just in time for a crash course on check-outs and check-ins! We like her and we KNOW you will too! Welcome to our team, ELISE!
