On the road.... again

The beginning of another year and we have again decided to rodeo full time. So we have packed up from roosevelt (well not really, all of our stuff is still there) and are now hitting the rodeo trail pretty hard. It's been an awesome start, Jason and his younger brother Austin are roping together and have been doing great. So if I dissapear for a while it's probably because i'm all over the place! When were not going to a rodeo we'll be at the ranch in texas or in vegas/logandale so i'll be able to update every once in a while. wish us luck!

Mr. and Mrs. Ringer

One of my best friends Jill was married last Saturday. I couldn't have been more excited to see her so happy and so in love. I love her so much and am so happy to see her life be so wonderful. I had so much fun at her reception seeing all my friends, these are the only times i get to ever see

them all. Congrats Eric and Jill!

Christmas

My favorite day of the year is over but we had so much fun. We spent Christmas Eve with my family making ginger bread houses( of course ours was the best!) Then we spent christmas day opening presents with both of our families. Im so grateful we were able to spend the holidays with our families and have such good time!

Lots of pics of our holiday festivities-

Sugar with all of her presents!

River Henderson Andrus!

My sister Michelle and her husband Brady had another absolutely beautiful baby boy! I am so excited to have another little sweet spirit in our family... He is so cute, but most importantly he and michelle are healthy and doing great!

NFR!

Last night was the first round of the NFR and we had so much fun! Jason's brother Randon is in it this year and could possibly win the world so its especially fun going and cheering him on! It's so awesome to see the people we rope around all year who have worked so hard to make it to the NFR! So for the next 9 nights we'll be at the Thomas and Mack.. Good luck Randon!

Fragile.....

Yesterday i went to a funeral of a really close freind of jason and his family. i never met him but the funeral really touched me. He was only 29 years old with a wife and a child. It really made me step back and realize just how fragile life is, how blessed i am to have every single day here upon this earth and to cherish every moment with the people i love so much. I began to ask myself lots of questions like... If i died would my husband, family, and friends know how much i loved them? What more can i do each day to lift others and to make a difference in their lives? If i died tomorrow would i be worthy enough to end up where i want to be?( well i know the answer to that is a no, so i better not be going anywhere soon!)etc... These questions helped me come to the conclusion that i need to do better, try harder, so that if today were my last that i would have no regrets. That i could be the person that changed others lives for good and that their lives were better because i was a part of it. To my friends and family.. i love each and every one of you so unbelievably much, am so grateful to have you as a part of my life, and would do anything in this world for any of you!
