Well, we just pulled in from Reno and RMEF Elk Camp. Idahoelkinstructor did AWESOME!!!! Before we left home (Reno is 10 hours away) Jason noticed that we had a leak in our radiator system somewhere. We took it to the shop and found out that our water pump went out. $180 later, we drove a whoppin' 6 blocks and lost our power steering and the temperature started to rise. Come to find out, they hadn't bolted the fan on right, so it came shooting into the fan belt and chewed it up. We finally got going around 7 pm. IEI had to be ready for competition at 8 am, so we had to drive all the way through! It was crazy! We pulled into Reno at about 4:30 am and got a few hours of sleep. Then it was off to the show. They had just called his name in the registration area when we walked in. They started with the Pee Wee division. It was adorable to watch the kids get up and call. Then was the Youth division. They did awesome as well. Then they had the Voice division. There were only 6 callers and they only take the top 5 to finals. The 5th place tied 3 times in a row!!! So they decided to take everyone and let them call it off the next day. Women's division was next. Then came the Adult division.... There were 28 callers. You have to draw numbers so that the judges don't know who is calling. There are 7 judges, and the high and low score are thrown out and the rest are tallied for the final score. Jason pulled caller #28!!! He pulled a final score of 129. Just 6 points behind first place! He actually placed 10th in the world!!!! Knight and Hale calls approached him afterward and signed him on to a 2 year Sponsorship program!!! He's also signed on with a sponsorship with ASAT Clothing! It was a sweet trip and we already can't wait for the next competition!!! It's next month in Salt Lake City. Give him a big CONGRATS!!!! He deserves it! (If you can't tell, I'm bustin' at the seams with pride!!!)
