History

One of my many passions is FFA.  I am the Treasurer for the school.  FFA is a neat organization, you learn leadership skills, and meet new friends. 

Facts about the FFA:

• FFA Colors: National Blue and Corn Gold.
• Girls were allowed to join the FFA in 1969.
• Blacks were allowed to join in 1965.

 

Quote of the Week

"Never regret anything because at one time it was exactly what you wanted"
-Unknown Author.
I really like this quote because it is the truth at that moment you did that one thing it was what you wanted.  I like to go through life not regretting things because it is so much easier if you move on and plus you learned from that experience if it was a mistake or not.

Real World

For me the real world for me is busy.  School, work, practice, repeat.  On the weekends I spend all my precious time traveling across the state of Utah to different rodeos.  My real friends live more then an hour away from me because that is all I hang out with out of school. But I love my life its very fun, stressful, but exciting.

Embarrassing Moment

You know that moment where you are trying to be cool and walk up the stairs with out looking down. I remember I was trying to do that and the guy that I liked was right behind me. Well I got almost to the top of the stairs and I caught my foot on the stairs. I face planted it. I hurried and got up and my face was bright red. I felt so embarrassed and that was the only thing I could think about all day.

Memory of Blast

A year a go today I had lost one of my best friends, my horse. My heart breaks every time I think of her. I miss her, but I know it was for a reason. All those times I wished I could go back in time. The nights I cried myself to sleep. The days I wouldn't even go outside. I look back and wish it didn't affect me that much. I was so depressed because my dreams were crushed. I wouldn't be able to go pro anymore. I still think about her all the time and then I have to remind myself that everything happens for a reason. Maybe I wouldn't have made the friends I did or meet new people I did or even get my new horse Bird Dog that might be better then her. Know one knows, but at least I know she is in a good place.

Jealousy

Jealousy: resentment against a rival, a person enjoying success or advantage, etc., or against another's success or advantage itself.
Jealousy is the worst. You feel like crap and you envy that person your jealous of. You would do anything to be that person. Jealousy is like a sickness once you get it it never goes away. I dislike jealousy because you just feel like you would do anything to be someone your not. No one should be jealous of anyone because they should just be happy with themselves.

Cowboys

THERE'LL NEVER BE A LAST COWBOY

There'll never be a last cowboy
As long as there's still some ole cows--
Who'd be crazy 'nuf to round 'em up
'Cordin' to how the law allows?

Ya can't do this, ya can't do that,
So sez that gall dern guv'ament--
It's like they thinks they know the best--
Don't they sees our predicament?

Though they near did in the farmer
And 'bout wrecked the ole family farm--
So long as they don't rile cowboys,
They won't be doin' too much harm.

As long as we's got our good hosses,
Cowboys will still be ridin' here--
Give us a long lonely prairie--
Sparklin' stars in a night that's clear.

Stress

Stress, everyone gets it. From maybe a dirty house, screaming kids, or maybe your piles and piles of homework. Everyone has different ways to relieve your stress just like different people stress over different things. For me I can just sit on my horse and I am one hundred percent better.

Nothing Stronger

Excited is what i feel,
on cloud nine as anyone would say.
I have always wanted this,
and nothing else.
I can't believe this,
my life is great.
And any moment everything could change.
In a snap of Gods fingers,
and her broken leg,
my life would change.
My hopes and dreams,
crushed!
I have nothing,
I have nobody.
I feel the deep black hole in my stomach,
feels like someone ripped my heart out.
No one can fix that emptiness I feel,
but here God took my best friend away from me,
Not any best friend,
but someone that would listen without interrupting,
and comfort me whenever I needed it.
Nothing is stronger than a friendship,
between a girl and her horse.

Dreams

My dreams are different. I am always running away from someone no matter what. I am always so scared and I can never sleep after them. My heart is beatings so fast but in my dream my legs aren't moving fast enough. They always catch me.

Courage

Courage: The quality of mind or spirit that enables a person to face difficult, danger, pain, etc.

COURAGE

Guns firing,
people screaming,
soldiers fighting for their lives.
Courage,
they have to have courage,
why would they do this?
Fighting for their country,
Families crying at home,
begging for their soldier to come home in one piece.
Knock at their door,
Two soldiers with a folded up flag and dog tags,
they were sorry, and remorseful.
Family cries for their loss.
But at least they had the courage to let him go.

Fear

Definition of Fear:a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, etc., whether the threat is real or imagined


Some people are scared of different things like; heights, drowning, dying, water, snakes, spiders, and even the dark. Personally I am not a girl that is scared of things, but if there are snakes and spiders I am scared to death. No matter what I hate those slimy, slithery snakes, and the creepy, crawly, eight legged spiders.

Creativity

I love this picture! I love how its all blurry except through the glasses. It relates to my world because I wear contacts and if I don't wear my glasses or contacts that is what my world looks like.

About my favorite poem.

Cody Williams wrote that poem when he traveled with Lane Frost and Tuff Hedemen to PRCAs all over the US. Cody Williams would write poems in his free time, when they were on the road or just got done at a rodeo. I love this poem because it describes how every cowboy feels with they are traveling constantly to rodeos. Finally when you arrive you get all excited for the ride he makes tonight.

Favorite Poem

Cowboy Is His Name
By:Cody Williams

There's a hundred years of history
and a hundred before that
All gathered in the thinkin'
Goin' on beneath this hat.
The cold flame burns within him
'Til his skin's as cold as ice
And the dues he paid to get here
Are worth every sacrifice.
All the miles spend sleepy drivin'
All the money down the drain,
All the 'if I's' and 'nearly's, '
All the bandages and pain,
All the female tears left dryin',
All the fever and the fight
Are just a small down payment
On the ride he makes tonight.
It's guts and love and glory,
One mortal's chance at fame.
His legacy is rodeo
And cowboy is his name.
