Thank you to everyone that showed up tonight for your children and our community! I know we covered some hard topics tonight, but as we said…we have to shine light on the darkness. And to keep Wyoming’s kids safe we can all handle a few uncomfortable conversations! Thank you to @uprisingwyo for putting this event on. More pics to come soon, and SHERIDAN we will see you next week Tuesday.

A walk with the one and only @crislovbooks is good for the soul.

Absolutely amazing time last night at my last emcee gig of 2025! Central Wyoming showed up for @lphumanesociety in a BIG way to celebrate 25 years of great work being done for animals in our community. Have I mentioned how much I love my job?! 🖤🤍🐾

Our middle school season ended yesterday with Cowboy C going 3-0 and placing first at regionals! Thankfully I was able to watch his first two matches, and as always, I’m incredibly grateful for everyone who gives of themselves for our athletes. Cowboy C has shown amazing growth this year, and I’m excited to see how club season goes! 💜

Happy St. Nicholas Day from our family to yours! I think this is one of my favorite holidays because it kicks off the Christmas Season in our home (welcome back to our elves Merry and Norman) and it’s a tradition I brought to our Wyoming life from my German Catholic childhood in Milwaukee.

Headed to Douglas today for my pre event meeting with @lphumanesociety and had some extra time so I went for a walk along the river. I have yet to find a time of year in Wyoming where I can’t find a beautiful view…

Putting this up for contrast between yesterday’s dressed up look 😘 I call this vibe “had to wake up earlier than I wanted to so I could get a kid to wrestling practice” and it’s one of my go to looks! 😆

Lately I’ve been living in baggy sweats and a hoodie, or leggings and workout tops…so I thought I’d celebrate and share this moment where I have freshly done hair (thanks David at @rootzsalonspawy) and nails (thanks @pinkies_up_nail_studio) and I’m wearing makeup. I’ve accessorized with a #gritandgrace necklace from @pureimpressions and a I’m 💯 feeling the holiday vibes of this cute outfit (vest @fashioncrossroadsinc jeans @allurewyoming_) 🥳 If we’re being honest, as soon as my meeting today is done I’ll be right back into my workout gear. But a win is a win! 😘
