Fall Is For Cowboy Boots

Thank you all for the prayers and kind words about my Dad.  He went in for the angiogram today and found out the blockage did not require surgery, so he was extremely lucky.  He will be on a strict diet and exercise program and will be monitoring his heart.  I am constantly amazed at the amount of love and support I receive from blogging.  I can't thank you all enough for taking the time to even pray for my Dad.  Once again the blogging community makes me realize why I love blogging so much.

So, moving on...I love Fall.  Fall is for football games, it's for cuddling by the fireplace at night, it's for pumpkin-anything, and gorgeous sunsets.  It's also for cowboy boots.  I'm in love with cowboy boots, more specifically Old Gringo cowboy boots.  So, imagine my excitement when Old Gringo gave us a preview of what's to come in this year's collection.  Take a look:

I still have to admit that these lovelies are on my "have to have" list:

Cowboy Boot Love

Good morning!  It's another gorgeous day here in Colorado and I can't wait to get out and go for a walk.  Since I've been in Colorado, I've wanted to wear my cowboy boots a lot more, so of course I'm dying to get another pair.  My favorite place to buy boots is Boot Barn.  They have great deals, an amazing selection, and people are really friendly and ready to help you find the perfect pair.

As you know, I did a giveaway for a pair of Shyanne boots recently, and Marissa, my lucky winner is still in the process of choosing which ones she wants!  Boot Barn also sent me a pair, and I can't wait to wear them to the Toby Keith concert in August.  I recently wore them to see Sugarland and look how cute they were!

The boots are so comfy, easy to break in, and really make a statement.  Sometimes boots take a while to break in, but these were great from the first minute I had them on!  They look great with everything I own and I've had about 10 people ask me where I got them.  And, the price is right!  What are you waiting for?  Go get yourself a pair!

I'm in Colorado! Boot Barn Giveaway!

So I finally made it to Colorado!!!  We've been driving since yesterday morning, and had a little car trouble yesterday, but we're in Breckenridge, and heading out tomorrow to the Denver area!  The road trip has been awesome and I can't wait to get settled in my brother and sister-in-law's new place.  I'll be there for about a month, so I'll be blogging from there, sharing lots of activities and gorgeous scenery.

To help kick off my amazing summer, one of my all time favorite stores, Boot Barn has generously offered to give one of my readers a free pair of cowboy boots!  Yes, you heard me right!  FREE BOOTS!!!  Boot Barn has been one of my favorite stores since high school.  I've always worn cowboy boots, and Boot Barn was the only place to get the newest, best pairs of quality boots.  I purchased my gorgeous Old Gringo's from them, and recently I was lucky enough to have them send me a pair of Shyanne's . Here's a few pics of them:

Aren't they amazing???  I will share more photos of them later when I wear them to the Toby Keith concert in August.  

So, back to Boot Barn.  They not only sent me a gorgeous pair of Shyanne boots, but asked me if I'd like to do a giveaway for one of my readers to win a pair!  Would I?  Uh, Duh!!!  All joking aside, I am shocked by their generosity and can't say enough about this quality company.  So, with that being said, here are a few of the styles that you can choose from.  Yes, YOU actually get to choose which style you want, and as long as they have your size in stock, they're yours free and clear!  

Those are just a few of the styles to choose from.  I will send the winner a PDF with info on all the boots you can choose from.  So how do you enter?  Click on the Rafflecopter link below and follow all directions.  Please follow the directions, so your entries are valid!  

Giveaway will end next Sunday night, July 1st!  Good luck and have fun!!!!

Ok, so I'm kinda feeling the western style right now.  Could it be that I just visited my family again this past weekend in Red Bluff, CA?  Or, could it be these babies I just purchased?

Oh Yeah, they are all mine!  I've been dying for these boots for months and you would never believe the fantastic deal I got.  Can't wait to wear them.  So in keeping with the spirit of my purchase, here are some more fabulous boots.  Do you wear boots?  What do you wear them with?
