Back in Colorado

Once I completed my 9 hour journey, I was so happy to be home. I could not wait to hug my dad!
I spent the next few days making plans for my year. Talking to sponsors and making arrangments for my fundraiser. I also made plans for my first journey which would be to Mason City, Iowa.

One of my best friends was getting ready to compete in the preliminary pageant for the 2011 Miss Rodeo Colorado title. So I spent some of the week with her and  was asked to come to the pageant as the special guest and help emcee the event.

We then helped my grandma Kelderman celebrate her 80th birthday. Here is a picure of my family and I, and yes my dog Leroy is in the blanket. More on him in a future post.
