Maryn shakin' it in Sidney, Montana

What do I say about Maryn? She is my hero! This girl is one tough cookie! Life has handed her some pretty tough cards and she just keeps truckin' along. She has recently decided to make some BIG changes in her life. She started by renting out her condo in Lehi and moving back in with her parents in Springville. She quit her job and decided to go dance with Powerhouse for the summer. She also enrolled in school and is hoping to get into the nursing program. (Jake just got accepted into the nursing program and is working towards becoming a nurse anesthetist...I am a proud sister!) We found out that the weekend after we got back from Utah she would be dancing in Sidney, Montana. Boy was I excited! Sidney is just about an hour from Williston...so about 1.5 hour drive for us. We were going to go watch her dance on Saturday, but decided to go Friday night and go to the rodeo with her as well. They put on quite the show! Emma loved it but had her embarrassed look on her face. She does that when she gets excited but doesn't want to smile! They did a half an hour show...it looked exhausting! At the end of their show they invited the little kids to come up and learn a few moves. Maryn had to drag Emma to the stage and she wouldn't move a muscle but she had fun! We are so proud of Maryn and we're happy that we could be there to see her dance!










After her show we headed over to the rodeo grounds. We got our tickets and went to find a seat. There were NONE! We actually ended up sitting on the cement/dirt/grass. It was not comfortable. We were just happy to be able to spend some time with Maryn! She had run back to her hotel to shower and change and she and her group met us at the rodeo a little while later.




We ended up spending the night in Sidney that night. For some reason the hotel had given Powerhouse an extra room so we took them up on the offer to stay. The next morning we slept in and then went with Maryn and walked around the fair and took Emma to the carnival. We had a good time! Thanks Maryn for letting us be there!
