pioneer days rodeo

I scored some sweet tickets to this year's Ogden Pioneer Days Rodeo. Right above the bucking chutes. Included with these tickets were VIP passes to a cabin right there at the rodeo grounds where Ruby River was catering dinner. So I invited some of my bestest friends--Shad, Linz, Dan, Kayli, and Orie--to accompany me to this fine American western tradition.

While we were eating dinner, everyone convinced me to go sit on this stack of hay bales with a saddle on it and Shad got some photographer to come and take pictures of me. I actually had to sign a "model release form" so they could use these pictures if they wanted to. For what? I have no idea...

This is why I love cowboys.

Isn't this spectacular?
