My Cowgirl

Meredith is quickly becoming a bit of a cowgirl since our move to Phoenix and then to Texas.

She listens to country music.

She is most comfortable in her blue jeans.

And she has been yearning for her first pair of boots!

Ian and I gave her a gift certificate to Cavender's Boot City for Christmas.  And she has been so excited to go pick out her first pair of boots of which she has dreamt for many months.

Today, Meredith and I ventured to Cavender's, the fine Texas western outfitter since 1965!

It was a little overwhelming for us city folk.
So many options to chose from. . .
Heel style, material, shaft design and height, toe shape etc...

We were thankful for lots of patient help from the friendly cowboy staff!

We quickly learned that boots are not only practical working gear, but personal expressions of creative individuality.  And Meredith selected what suited her western cowgirl spirit the best.  They really are beautiful.

The big Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo is coming up in March.  It is a VERY BIG DEAL here.  She will be well outfitted in her new boots.  Maybe by this time next year I will own boots for next years rodeo!  My Uncle Tom and Grandpa would be so proud!

Now to secure tickets to Brad Paisley or Jason Aldean (appearing at the rodeo) for her upcoming birthday!!!
