One of my favorite yearly traditions is rodeo night
with the kids and my sweet Dad. I'm not happy
I didn't get a picture of my cute Dad, but in my defense, I always hesitate to pester other people too
much with pictures, so sometimes I just skip on it. My kids? I think we're all aware I never skip on it.
It was patriot night last evening and I wept with gratitude for so many who sacrifice and serve
and give more than I can wrap my mind around. And when they brought out Jennie Taylor, and two
of her little girls, I just sobbed. If you don't know the story of her husband, Major Brent Taylor,
please take a minute to look it up and then say a prayer for their little family...and so many like them.
It was a fun night. Sitting with four of my favorite people, all of us in our boots, just made
me happy. Summer nights are the best. Summer nights at the rodeo are even better.

PS. Our darling Nate looks forward to those motorbikes every single year.
I absolutely love watching him, watching them.
