With Sarah out of the house and on her own, living life and creating a family, Joel was left on his own to do whatever he wanted with any free time he might have. At first, he just worked himself to the core to help with the absence of Sarah. But that was when she first moved out, now that it's been twelve years since she moved out at the age of 20, he's been trying to find his happiness by going to things like rodeos rather than museums and movies like he did with Sarah.

He was currently at a rodeo all the way in Houston that he heard about from Tommy. It was a three hour long drive from Austin to Houston, but he managed. Now he was going over to a fence everyone was crowding around. In the middle was one bull and one rider on top. He had to do a quick double take as he stared at the woman who was on that bull. Not a man. You. He was in awe, watching you grip on as tightly as you could as the bull flailed about trying to fling you off. By the sound of everyone's cheers, he could tell you were quite popular among the people.
