Well my 2nd mother Deb is in charge of the Billings NRA rodeo and I didn't have to be in Fort Benton until Saturday so I helped out there on Friday night. I was fun being in my hometown with all of my friends and people who have helped me get to where I am. I got the carry the American flag for the first time all year and I was very excited and honored to do so. Paula Harris was gracious enough to let me use her horse "Cheyenne" who was awesome and stood perfectly during the pledge and National Anthem. I also had some good company as well.
Celie Highberger the reining Home of Champions Queen was there, Sara Haux the Home of Champions Princess, and the newly crowned Home of Champions Queen, Alyson Grinestaff was also there so it was great getting to chat with them and push cattle during all the time events and they have all done a wonderful job!
John and Kristie Ostlund "wonderful sponsors"!Saturday morning my mom, best friend Crissie, and I were all off to the Fort Benton Rodeo. We got there and met with Angie Hucke and Sue, Jeff, and Bailey Thompson. I got to ride one of my favorite horses "Siren" and he did an awesome job, and I'm going to be sad when he leaves soon to go to his NEW owners in Washington... Fort Benton was a lot of fun and I was really glad I got to go.
"Siren" and Lorissa at Fort BentonMy mothers Birthday was August 19th so the next morning after the rodeo we all got some coffee and rented a canoe to paddled down the Missouri river about a mile and had a great time. We would have gone farther but we still have a long drive home ahead of us.
Next, I'm headed to Miles City and then on Sunday I move into my dorm room at MSU -Bozeman. My roommate is already down there painting our room and getting it all ready. It's going to be quit a change but I'll have Megan down there and I'm only two hours away so I think I'll survive!!
Until then,
