Go Brylee! 👏💞👏

And just like that… my application for my dream job has officially been SUBMITTED! 💙✨

I’ve dreamed about competing for the title of Miss Rodeo America since I was just 10 years old. For over a decade, this dream has lived in my heart, and now it’s becoming a reality. 🥹

I’m so incredibly grateful for every person, every opportunity, every mile, and every lesson that has brought me to this moment. This journey is about so much more than a crown; it’s about representing the sport I love, the state I’m so proud to call home, and the people who have believed in me every step of the way!

Helpful reminder…🌸

The trouble with growing up, is that you eventually find out that no one else has a clue of how to act at this age either.

Eventually you realize that every family is messed up. That people will do everything possible to avoid working through hard things. That we all have an end date.

You learn there are no study guides or owners manuals for life, and you have to take the test first before you learn the lesson.

The trouble with growing up, is that it's not nearly as much fun as it seems like it should be.

I really thought the toughest thing about being an adult was going to be saying no to drugs and remembering to stop, drop, and roll when the house went up in flames. Strangely, neither of those skills have been necessary, ever, in my life.

The trouble with growing up is that it is both a blessing not awarded to everyone, and a humbling dose of reality that has to be swallowed every morning.

A reminder that two things can be true at once- you can have a beautiful, wonderful life, and still wish for things to be different. It's called being human.

I don't think any amount of growing up can change that.

Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life."~Psalm 143:8
