I woke up in Beau's arms an remembered today was the rodeo banquet. I got up carefully an went an took a shower an got dressed in a tank-top an shorts an started cooking breakfast. While cooking I felt arms wrap around me an a kiss on the neck. "Good morning beautiful." Beau says. "Good morning Beau go take you a shower we Havering go into town today an get you a tux an me a dress." I say. "Ok I am going." Beau says.Beau goes to the camper bathroom an took a shower while I cooked. Right now we are into week three of the rodeo tour an are currently in Tulsa, Texas. "Ok I am dressed an is breakfast done." Beau says. "Yes come sit an say grace then we can eat." I say. We say grace an eat then clean up are mess feed the horses an then head to town. "Which shop first?" Beau ask. "Getting your tux should be easy so let's get that first." I say. "Ok the shop is over there." Beau says. We walk over there an he starts trying on tux. "Dixie how about this one?" Beau ask. He walks out in a normal black suit with a bow tie an a white shirt underneath. "Yes that one looks perfect." I say. "Ok this one it is." Beau says. He goes back an changes into his clothes an pays for the suit an we walk back to the truck so he can put it in. "Now to get your dress." Beau says smirking. "Yes let's go into that shop." I say. We go into the one shop an I try on a few dresses but none I like. "Well how about this one it's modest an yet sexy." Beau says holding up this one dress. "Yes that's the one I am going to try it on." I say taking the dress. I put it on an come out. "Wow you look beautiful." Beau says. "Thanks I believe this is the one." I say. I change back an pay for the dress an then we go to a restaurant an eat while we are there my phone rings an I answer it.
Me:Hello
Mom:Hello Dixie were are you at we showed up at the rodeo area an knocked on the camper but you an Beau were not there.
Me:Oh we are in town at this local restaurant about to order are food you want us to wait.
Mom:Your father said yes he is starving so we are on are way now see you soon bye dear.
I say bye an I tell Beau an we wait an then my mom, dad, an his mom Beth show up. "Hey y'all." Dad says. I stand up an hug them an then we sit down at the table. "We got the message kinda late because your mom does not touch her phone very much but we made it." Dad says. "I guess I should of called the house phone." I say. "It's fine we made it that's all that matters." Momma says glaring at dad. We order are food an soon are food comes an we eat then go back to the camper. "Us guys are going to go take a look at the bulls for tomorrow night we will be back you girls have fun." Dad says. They walk off an us girls walk inside. "So what have y'all been up to on this rodeo tour?" Mom ask. "Exactly that rodeo or I am practicing." I say. "So nothing is going on between you an Beau?" Beth ask. "Well I don't know I like him but I am not Sure if he likes me back." I say. "He does like you baby girl." My mom says. I smile an I go to clean up the camper because after today we are going back home. "Baby girl it's about to be four clock let's get you ready for tonight an for Beau." Mom says smiling. They start doing my hair an makeup then make me change into my dress. "Dixie you look amazing Beau want know what to say." Beth says. I smile an look at myself in the mirror. "I look good." I say. "Lady's are y'all ready?" My dad ask stepping in. We turn an mom pushes me to the front. "My little girl looks amazing an all grown up I am going to have to let you grow up an Beau is a good man to help you along the way." My daddy says. "Daddy I will always be your little girl just grown up more." I say hugging him. He hugs me back an kisses my cheek. "Go Beau is waiting for you outside we will be there in a little bit an Dixie he is a great man I approve of him." Dad says. I smile an walk outside an see Beau an run into his arms. We get into the truck an Beau drives us to the banquet. We walk the carpet into the banquet an say hi to everybody an sit down at are table an mom an dad show up with Beth an sit with us then everything starts an. "Well now we are going to name are new barrel racing champ an to honor her today is her dad so come on up here. My daddy stands up an goes up to the stage.

My dad says. I stand up an walk up there an give my dad a hug an he goes sits down an I make my speech. "Well all my life I have wanted this award an now that I have it it's so unreal but I am happy to accept this award an Thank everybody that has helped me through the years to get here." I say. Everybody claps an the night goes on an Beau gets his buckle. The rodeo banquet ends an we go back to the camper an go to sleep because tomorrow we are making the long travel home.
