Happy Halloween!!!

Well this weekend I realized what the most rewarding, and for me emotional, part of being Miss Rodeo Utah is. My little 3 year old friend Samantha Smith dressed up for Halloween and when people asked her what she was dressed as, she said "Chris". I got all teary-eyed when her grandma told me the story because I knew that I have touched someones life the way that I had been impacted when I was a little girl. I knew that I had become some other little girl's "Mary Shaw". Its such an emotional experience for me knowing that 12 years of chasing my dreams and goals has made an impression on a little girl and that I have done what I am supposed to do as Miss Rodeo Utah. Its something that I have become so passionate about and I hope to have this rewarding experience many times throughout the year. I think that Samantha makes a darling little rodeo queen.
