Rodeo

Travis and I went to the Pocatello Rodeo last Saturday night. This first picture shows the winner of the mutton bustin. It was a seven year old girl and she held on tight! Everyone was bucked off the bulls in the finals. Pocatello really is not that far of a drive from Salt Lake. We ate dinner with Travis's relatives at the Texas Roadhouse. That is our new favorite place. The prime rib was awesome and the rolls have a honey glaze on them. Good food!

Vegas

Travis and I did make it to Vegas after all. We ended up staying with his aunt that lives about 20 minutes from the strip. We watched lots of basketball and the U actually did fairly well. They won their first game and then lost to UNLV. We were able to sit on the fourth row and Travis was thrilled. Since we rarely ever use our camera, we only took picture of the games. The cheerleading extravaganza was awesome. BYU and the U definitely had the best cheerleading teams. The other schools teams mainly consisted of girls and performed stunts that I did in junior high.

We spent lots of time shopping, but sadly did not find any good deals. It was nice weather in Vegas, but a little windy. I wore shorts and flip-flops. I did not change for the drive home, and it ended up snowing in Salt Lake! I am so ready for Spring!

I decided that I no longer like the University of Utah. I was trying to be nice and support both teams, but forget that! Travis and I were supposed to go to the MWC tournament in Vegas this week. He was told that they had an extra hotel room and we would be able to have it. I was thrilled for a vacation. I got work off, which is hard to do with such a short notice. Today Travis was told that we can no longer have that room. I have been looking online at hotels and most are already booked (and they are very expensive). I AM MAD!!! I no longer will cheer for that team.
Sorry about the venting. I am sure that I will feel better in a few days.

Basketball

Travis was a basketball manager for the Utes this season. Tuesday was the last home game. We are both sad and thrilled that the season is ending. Travis made a lot of connections and enjoyed working with the team. I attended every game, except one. While I was in college don't think I even attended one game a year. Next week is the MWC tournament. Due to Travis's hard work, and some special circumstances, the U is paying for us both to attend the tournament in Las Vegas! I am looking forward to an almost free vacation and this is one of Travis's dreams to attend a tournament.

10K

Saturday I ran the second race in the series, a 10K. I got Travis to come and watch. This was my fastest 10K time ever, even with the last mile being up hill. (Everyone was walking during some point on this course.) My goal with all this running is to improve my half marathon time. I still have a month left to train.
