Summer

This time of year is a little bittersweet for me. It's rodeo season, and rodeos were something Jonathan and I attended quite often together. I love to go watch them, but they are a little bittersweet for me because I am often reminded once again that it was something we did and he is not with doing that anymore. I am glad that my daughter loves to wear her "cowgirl boots" and go to rodeos because it reminds me of the good times. We went to Yellowstone over the fourth of July and it was also another bittersweet time for me because the drive to the Idaho Falls/Rigby area and the Driggs area remind of of Jonathan becuase we spent a good portion of our married life there with going to see his grandma in Rigby and him doing his internship in Tetonia which is near Driggs, so I can't help to think about those time when I am in those areas. I have to give props to men that marry widows because widows come with a lot of emotional baggage. Life is never quite "normal" for a widow but we can still make the most of life and enjoy it!
