Well I survived the wild last two weeks of school, aced my finals, and finally turned my tassel!
Then...I was thrown into life at home, which turns out to be more on the road in the living quarter horse trailer than under our stick built roof. I have not been home for a full weekend yet. I usually head out with some combination of horses, family members, and truck and trailer on Friday and get back Sunday. Some weekends on the road at horse and rodeo events are longer and some are shorter. This routine keeps me 100% tired all of the time. While home, I'm busy riding my own horse and cleaning and doing yard work while my parents work. The other bits of time at home are spent prepping for the coming weekend on the road. I also try to find some time to research what I want to be when I grow up, but that often gets side lined. Once the weather cooperates, hay making will be added into this regimen. Then...time spent sleeping at night will be shortened, which will result in some crankiness between family members. Don't get me wrong...this life we live is fun with great memories resulting, but other results are being tired and short tempered.
Here are some images I've captured from my weekends on the road and at rodeos.

My favorite shot from my weekend in Grand Coulee at Erin's rodeo.
This is the man from the above picture. He successfully wrested his steer.

Boy, doesn't his face just say "I'm enjoying this ride"?
Tie-down roping.
The clown at Coulee City and his pony. This act was cute.
My dad and I were in love with this buckskin. Notice his tongue is sticking out.
