Miss Rodeo Arkansas

Back in February while in Florida I was assigned my very first host home. It’s a little nerve wracking to go into someone else’s home and act like you’ve known them your whole life, but the stories and memories made while I was there made it worth it!

My work trip last week was within an hour of where she lived and I made time to go see her. Her best friend happened to be the big boss of the entire rodeo and of course we had to ride during this amazing Florida sunset after we had spent the evening relaxing in the pool!

Thank you Carol and Kaye for once again opening up your evenings to include me as a part of it! Even if we were in shorts, bucket hats, rain coats and not a single pair of boots! I love that you guys are so spontaneous with delivery thing we do! I can’t wait to plan another trip to come see you both!

The American flag is a reminder of the values that continue to define our nation,hard work, resilience, integrity, and service.

Whether in the arena, at the farm, or as a small business owner, I’m grateful to represent the western way of life and the people who live these values every day. As we begin celebrating America’s 250th anniversary, may we continue to honor our heritage and inspire future generations.

🇺🇸 God Bless America. 🇺🇸

Traded my cowboy boots for on clouds and my hat for a pair of floral snips! At one of the world’s biggest floral showcases! I tested for my AIFD credentials, and am designing til all my dreams come true!

Meeting designers from all over the world! We did a hands on install with 20 members all working at once! Our instructor was from Hong Kong! And it was so neat to see the similarities and differences of one common theme! FLOWERS!

In the rain, it the mud, in JUNE, in SPRINGDALE!

Night number two takes the cake for the muddiest rodeo I’ve ever attended! What fun it is to be surrounded to cowboys and cowgirls who enjoy playing in the mud!

A great first day in Springdale! Volunteer work at NWA foodbank, parade, and a first rodeo performance!

What do two queens have in common on their free night in Springdale? A chocolate mess at Market Place! One of the first few times we have gotten to go as everyday people and guess what? We found out that we each have a forehead! 😂😂 If you have queened you know! (We can go a whole year and only ever meet someone in a hat and never know the top half of their facial features!)

Siloam Springs Rodeo and Riding Club has another rodeo in the books. It’s always so good to be under the lights of the rodeo you’ve grown up at! It was an amazing feeling to come back this year wearing “Arkansas” across my sash.

Let’s do it again at home this week! See you soon rodeooftheozarks
