Days of 76 Rodeo Qualifications

The one thing I miss so much about South Dakota is the country. The horses, the work, the everything!!! I miss the animals we had, I miss the hard work it was to take care of all those animals, I miss living in the country so far away from everything that nothing mattered. So when I heard that the rodeo was up in Deadwood, I had to check it out.

The Days of 76 rodeo happens in Deadwood every year. This year was the 103rd anniversary and I learned something new. Every day during the week, in the mornings from 8am to 10am, they have qualifications for Slack, Steer Wrestling and Team Roping.  Well, on the days I went this is what they had anyways. It is FREE and I couldn't believe I hadn't gone more then those two days! I would have went every day had I known.

Friday morning I took my dad with me. We didn't get there until after 9am so we didn't get to see a lot but we still enjoyed every minute. Here are some pictures and videos of what we saw on Friday.








On Saturday morning I took my oldest sister with me and these are pictures and videos from Saturday.









And there you have it.  Some of my pictures from the qualifications for the Days of 76 Rodeo. I'd literally give anything to be able to ride horses every day. To take care of them and enjoy every second of the presence of such a great animal. If you can't tell, horses are my absolute favorite animals.

Maybe one day I'll get my wish.

~Till Next Time~

 Life..... It changes...... Things NEVER stay the same..... Some things happen that you've never even dreamed possible...... And yet, life, it's the greatest thing you're given and are expected to take care of no matter what happens.... So here are my changes, my life and my next 25 years of hopes and dreams..... This whole blog is really just a way for me to put it out there, to look back and enjoy the memories and read my words, good and bad. A memoir of sorts. Just life. A good life. My life. My first blog was  Life In Italy!  I started this blog back in 2009 when we moved to Italy and away from all our family back in the United States. I wanted them to see our lives and to be able to tell them all about it in one place and the "blog" was the hot thing back then. I loved to write/type (I still do) and it really made my heart happy to show the family what we had been up to. So check out our life in Italy. It was truly amazing and I can't wait to go back. My ...

 Well, another pay day down in the books. The new job is great. I love what I do. I've even lost some weight which has been good for my mental health. But now....... They cut my hours, they aren't doing what they say they will do and my paycheck....it's missing. *sigh* I just don't know what to do. I put in leave to go to my brothers wedding and to Nevada with everyone. My guy is supposed to be here for those 2 weeks and go with me but low and behold, my leave has not been approved. I applied for my Kure Beach job back and I got an offer. I think I'm going to take it. Just move back. If he is going to be coming out here from the 3rd to the 17th then I might as well just drive back with him and accept that job and at least have the comfort of my own stuff, my own place, my job that I know and can get extra hours OR the possibility of being a regular. I'm so torn and I just don't know what to do. My heart is breaking and I hate it. It's been broken since I...
