Movin' on up

Rodeo season may be winding down but my life is still a whirlwind! One thing is certain …...I'm burning the candle at both ends 24/7!

I am scheduled to close on my house Friday and that will be great. However, getting to that point has been organized chaos at best. The movers came in and packed my belongings on the 20th and then came back to pick it up on the 21st.The house was pretty bare, just a lonely bed and television. Surprisingly, I enjoyed the simplicity of the four walls. The only down side of this move is my "stuff" is scattered everywhere! I have things in my office, my camper, at my neighbors, in my truck, and a large majority is in storage until I find a place to reside.

I really want to thank all the people that have helped me in one way or another...rodeo is a great sport because your friends are true friends even when it is an inconvenience. A special thanks to my neighbors, The Smedleys’, for taking me in as one of their own kids during this time.

Two things I wanted to share:

1. My Dodge truck has been redecorated by Wyoming Tourism. I blogged in July when this was done originally. However, we wanted a different look...bigger is better! You won't miss our rolling Wyoming billboard now as the truck has 2 large photos of me fighting bulls which extend all the way down the driver and passenger sides as well as a scenic Wyoming photo across the back glass. I really appreciate everyone associated with Wyoming Tourism. Not only do they ensure I am taken care of while on the rodeo trail, and exploring Wyoming, but they always treat me as family.

2. If you subscribe to the ProRodeo Sports News (PSN) you are familiar with the column "8 Seconds with..." This is a question/answer type interview the PSN does on rodeo personalities throughout the year. I was fortunate enough to be asked and was featured in this week’s PSN 8 Seconds with Jeremy Sparks I hope you like the story...as always you can find more news articles, videos & pictures at www.jeremysparks.com

Stay tuned for upcoming blogs as I take on a few of Wyoming's state parks and try to tough out the early stages of winter one week at a time!

Forever West,
Jeremy
