PBR how I love thee...

Since Halloween dared to fall on the first day of the PBR finals, we stayed home this year which was more than fine by me. First of all, I could care less about Halloween. I'm saving my enthusiasm for when I have kids who I can torture dress up and parade around. I did don a costume and threw the candy out the door as fast as I could so I could get back to PBR.... er, I mean lovingly placed sugar in each adorable baby/child/teen/adult's basket, commented on their costume, and slammed the door... our little neighbor Cody was sooo stoked that I was wearing a costume, he made his parents check it out. Haha awkward!

Anyways, PBR! Last weekend was the first weekend of the finals. As you know, I am OBSESSED with Professional Bull Riding... hmm, actually I just checked for a post to link back to explaining my obsession and there isn't one. Just a little mention at the end of this one. I think that I couldn't put it into words. Lets just say, imabigfan. It is the only sport I follow. I check the rider stats, bull stats, injury reports... OBSESSED.

This year, the new PBR Team Shootout format came to our fair. Obviously, we were front and center. It was the second ever event in the Shootout tour, and the first hadn't even been televised yet... so VERY EXCITING! Also I got to meet Adriano Moraes 3 time world champ who is retiring this year. YES!

Back to the Finals, they were amazing. Justin McBride has announced that he will be retiring right after the finals. Wow. He is in the prime of his career. Crazy. Thanks for the 2 weeks notice, sheesh.

Me and LJ Jenkins.... I sort of didn't want to let go....


Me and Adriano Moraes because we should just stare at him again....


then a few other things:



So, now you know, if you ever want to see me amazingly excited, mention PBR. And if you ever want me to be at party, make sure it doesn't coincide with a big PBR event:)

Since we did turn down all Friday Halloween invites, we went to a party on Saturday night instead (after PBR round 2 was over:). I'll post pics of that soon.
