Rodeo, Concert, and Football... Can You Get Any Better?? :)

This week has been great. My tests went well from what I can tell and everything else just fell into place! :)

Jake Owen Concert & Rodeo

The concert and rodeo on Thursday were incredible. It was so fun to see Bronc Riding, Bull Riding, Steer Wrestling, Barrel Racing, etc at the rodeo and it was amazing to get very close to the stage during the concert. Jake Owen opened the concert with "Anywhere With You" and ended with "Eight Second Ride." I would have to say the best part of the concert was when Jake Owen signed my hat! :) We were so close to the stage that we were able to hand him my cowboy hat and he signed the back of it. It was a truly amazing night! :D

It was a blast!! :)

UNM vs. NMSU in Las Cruces

Yesterday, my friend Kim and I went to Las Cruces to go to the UNM vs. NMSU game and it was so much fun. Other than getting thrown up on (yes, a girl who was very drunk threw up on me and Kim) it was a night to remember. The Lobos won 27-14 and I got to meet some great people. Cole, Weston, Jason, Kaitlyn, Ryan, Kim, and I all went to Applebees (after trying to go to 3 other restaurants haha) after the game and enjoyed some great conversations and some good food. It was definitely worth the trip down there and it was fun to make some new friends! :)

GO LOBOS! :)

See y'all later!

11 Years Ago

September 11, 2001 is a day I will never forget. Although I cannot remember exactly what I was doing or what was going on, I do remember seeing the smoke rising from the towers on TV. 

Here is what I do remember: 

I was sitting in my mom's classroom at Carlsbad High School when someone ran in and told her to turn the TV on in her class. I remember seeing the smoke rise from the tower and not knowing what it was caused by. 

*****

That is all I can really remember about that day, but I was only 8 years old. What would expect? 

But now, it is one of my "favorite" parts of history. A time where the country came together. A day where everyone supported each other no matter race, religion, age, or gender. 

September 11, 2001. A day we lost thousands. A day our country changed. A day we mourned but also came together as a country. And a day we will NEVER forget.

Enjoy the day but remember to pray for those who lost someone on this day 11 years ago!
