Miss Rodeo USA

Guess what the weather in Oklahoma has changed again! But I do have to give this state some credit when its warm weather its really nice!  I’m getting ready to go to my first rodeo in Huntsville, Alabama and I have to thank the Longhorn Rodeo Company for hiring me, along with everyone else who has already booked me. I hope that I get in there and do some good and add something special to your event!  I have to thank the sponsors of the Miss Rodeo USA program, you guys have gone above and beyond to make my year a great one and it has just started!

Boy it's starting to get busy! I have been talking to sponsors and my calendar is starting to get full. There has also been some down time. Saturday I went to Hayden's birthday party at the skating rink. Lets just say its a good thing that I didn't have to skate in the pageant. I also got to go to a friends house and see the world of bucking bulls is like. And saw them up close and personal when I helped move one that had gotten out and was in the wrong pen. I leave Monday the 25th to go back to Alabama and for my welcome home party. Then it's my first appearance as Miss Rodeo USA.

Hi guys! Lets see I have had one full week and its only Wednesday. Monday I had to go to the wonderful Dr. David Jones to have a cavity filled. As nervous as I was going into his office that morning my fears were laid to rest. I was in the best hands and it was pain free!!! I went and watched Hayden Duvall play basketball and watch out she is a star on the rise! I'm getting packets ready to send out and calling sponsors. I leave at the end of February to attend a Longhorn Rodeo in Huntsville, Alabama and I am so excited!!!

Sorry about such a long space between blogs but when you live in the sticks internet is not an option!!!! Well I arrived in Oklahoma but just barely! There was bad weather the whole way. As for the Oklahoma weather, as Will Rogers once said" if you don't like Oklahoma weather, just wait it will change!" he hit the nail on the head. Since I have been here it has had hurricane winds, 80 degree summer days, and snow! my first photo shoot with Jim was canceled because of the 4 inches of snow in Tulsa. So I went yesterday and had a great time. Jim is amazing! So keep a look out for my photos on the website and my NEW tear-off sheets!

Over the river and through the woods to the Duvalls house we go!! And that is the truth!Lets just say I don't take directions very well. I spent the night with Amy, Tom, Hayden, and Nathan. I got up this morning to go see Dr. J. and Mrs. Deb. We all went to lunch and then we went back to the office, which scared me to death but Dr. J and all his staff are so nice, and they make you feel so comfortable. After tonight I go back to Alabama to pack up my stuff and be back to take my pictures with Jim Grillot. Then after January 28th I am an Okie transplant!

Kristin Scott Miss Rodeo USA 2008

How do you put into words the emotions I felt when they called out my name? After a full week of interviews, modeling, questions, and horsemanship I was in shock and awe when they said my name. This pageant has taught me more about myself than I ever thought possible! I just want to send out a special thank you to everyone who sponsors, and volunteers to make this pageant possible without you it would not be the same. Thank you to my sponsors and rodeo committee for your support and encouragement. I want to thank my family for everything they have done to help me get this far! And to everyone I encourage you to all "branch out" and try new things, I did and now I'm living my dream as Miss Rodeo USA 2008!!!

"Today is the last day of the first day of our lives" is what my room mate said as we woke up this morning. Today is the last day of the competition and there is a beginning here as well. This whole week has been one of the most memorable experiences of my life. I will never forget all the tears we shed at the children's hospital, all the amazing tours and sites we saw, all the amazing food, and all the laughing sessions we had with the girls, judges, sponsors, and chaperone's. I will never come home the same ever again. Even though this may be my last pageant I am walking away richer than any millionaire in this world (and not just cause we got loaded up with gifts). The knowledge, memories, and experience we have all gained will be the "bumper rails" of our bowling lives. So weather win-lose- or draw I will take this with me to share with any one who will listen. I will tell them my mistakes, my passion for rodeo, my cries, and laughs, because each of the 9 girls walk away still rodeo queens, we were all rodeo queens before we got our crowns. We all supported, promoted, competed, encouraged the sport of rodeo before we came here and we dont need a sash or title to do that! Thank you to all the people here this week who have helped facilitate the change that I will be living by for the rest of my life!And thank you Rachel, my room mate, for being my best friend and sister. For one last time: I miss and love you family, cowboy and friends........ and I will not come home the same.

Hey ya'll  this pageant has been an eye opening experience.  Although the days were long and strenuous I have learned that no matter whether not I win I am still a good person and I can reach for the stars if I want to.  I will be taking away new friends and memories that will last a lifetime.  The boost for your self esteem and people skills will last forever and no one that has been here will ever forget the experiences.  This has been a character building process that will stay with me for the rest of my life.  Thank you Miss Rodeo USA, for the experience that I have received I will never forget it.

Win, loose or draw I have gained an experience of a life time this week. This week has been amazing for me. I have learned so much this week that I can take back with me. I have made so many friends and I came here for the experiences of a life time. My favorite part of the week was when we got to go to the Children's Center. Also the first night of the IFR was awesome, I was almost in tears. I have not ever got to experience a Finals rodeo before and I was so excited to be able to be there. I loved that we got to tour the Cowboy Hall of Fame, I wish that we had more time to take all of the lovely information in. When I get a chance I would love to come back and tour it again. I will never forget this week even though we are all tired we all had so much fun this week. I have many memories that I will never forget from this week. In my eyes I would not take anything back from this week. This week has been an awesome experience that I will never forget.
