I wish I’d gotten more pics from this week! But I want to make a huge shout out to our foodie friends! Kona Ice of Shawnee thank you for praying with my husband after the family loss. Also, for keeping us cool with those yummy drinks! Say Cheese OK Food Truck for having an extra water pump we could get from you when ours died in the middle of service! (Also John loves your tea! ) Heart of Oklahoma Expo Center Ifyr Rodeo@ Expo Center for having us attend IFYR! (NEVER did I expect that to happen! But it did and we are so grateful for this opportunity.
Thank you to the man (maybe Bob?) that saw my son out there trying to figure out how to rope with his new rope. He stopped what he was doing to help him by showing him how to make sure his rope is in the right form and how to throw it etc. You truly made his night by taking time to do that. Thank you to the older kids that let him sit in and be part of their convos, make him feel like he fit in & even stopping by to say goodbye to him. Dead Cow Ranch, LLC thank you for bringing by the best sourdough. You’ve inspired John, he’s now determined he’s going to make sourdough. 🥰
We got to meet so many new folks this week from all over the world! Had lots of conversations about everything under the sun. Just a huge shout out and thank you to everyone. Also congratulations to the champions of each category! We feel completely humbled and blessed. 🥹💜💜💜
