Rodeo and Trace Adkins

And so today was good!

As I mentioned, I was going to the rodeo today. And so I did. It was pretty neat!

I went with Moneysmith and Monica. Neither knew much about what to expect at the rodeo. So, my random knowledge from my friends in high school, going to the Mac Arena, visiting Quarter Horse Congress, and having friends in those areas gave me a pretty decent knowledge base (even if I don't really know much about somethings). I tried to explain how a few things are scored, how a few things are suppose to be done, and little things like that.

My random knowledge input was about a turkey and how to tell how old it was. Anyways. It was a great time. Much like a State Fair. Much like what to expect. Different areas reminded me of different events and such I had gone to before. So maybe I fit in a little too well at some points. I wouldn't mind enjoying those things again when I am home.

We did enjoy it, and Moneysmith learned how expensive some things really are. I wasn't surprised. I know what a 'good quality' hat, 'good quality' boots and a good rope would cost in range. They aren't cheap, and I know that. But I am saving for a pair of cowboy boots. I want them before I come home, so I can break them in before I come back for the summer!

Anyways, not like anyone really wants to know what I've been up to. But going with Betsy to see Clint Black Friday. And by the way, Trace Adkins is sooooo amazing in person. Or maybe I just love his dreamy deep voice. [sighs and smiles] He's so good looking too, and has great hair! I'll stop, I did enjoy finally getting to see him in person!
