Hitting The Road

Brent presented Precision Planting to a group of farmers in Delta, UT. And for once I got to tag along. We made arrangements for the kids for the week, so I could take to the road with him. It turns out that the organizer of the event was my college roommate's brother, small world. About 50 guys were there, so it was a worthwhile trip.
But our road trip didn't end there, we continued on to St. George where we met up with an old mission companion and his wife. We hadn't seen them for awhile so it was fun to catch up. And then onto Vegas for the NFR.
Brent has been trying to get me there since we've been married. I've always drug my heels, I'm not quite the Vegas type. So we found an awesome non-smoking, non-gaming condo to stay in. So instead of always being on the strip, we only went for a show (Mystere,) and to eat on occasion.The Bellagio was decked out and I don't think I could ever tire of watching their fountain show.I manged to get Tuf Cooper and Matt Shiozawa's autographs for Hudson at Cowboy Christmas.We also went to the temple. We caught up with Tracy and NiCole, who just so happened to plan a trip the same time. We were lucky enough to find 4 seats together for the rodeo on Friday night.

The drive down was pretty broken up, but we spent all of Saturday in the car on our way home. It was a long drive, but turned out being one of my favorite times because I had 10 hours of uninterrupted conversation.

If I would have known I would have had to get Tuf's autograph for me. He may just be the cutest cowboy at the NFR!
