Summer and the nice weather has finally found its way here! I am loving the beautiful weather and not having to ride every day with a sweatshirt and a coat on! 

   The first weekend of May I, along with Miss Rodeo Aberdeen Krystal Carlascio, went to the Tri-State Expo in Belle Fourche. We had a fantastic time visiting with people, hanging out with kids in the kid's room, signing autographs and getting to venture around the booths! Thank you to everyone who made us feel welcome and made our two days at the expo great!

    During May, I spend a great deal of time preparing for Miss Rodeo America. This summer I am going to be busy on the road and having this open month to prepare has been very helpful! May also bought my birthday! I turned 23 during Memorial Weekend! I had a great day and weekend! It is crazy to think that I am already 23! Happy Memorial Day to all as well! I would like to thank the military for all that they have done, are doing and will do! Our country is lucky to have the wonderful service men and women that we have! 

     I am getting excited for what this summer is going to bring. There are many fun, exciting and wonderful things planned for this summer! I will be attending the Casey Tibbs Match of Champions in Ft. Pierre tomorrow! 

      Hope to see many of you on the rodeo road this summer! 

    God Bless and See You at the Rodeos,
