Go Big Blue!

It is my most hectic, nerve racking, and maybe most exciting time of year - Cheer Competition Time. Our first competition is this Sunday at Mt. Vernon High School. I am sure some of you have seen the competitions on ESPN. It is the same idea just a smaller scale. We started competing 4 years ago. It started off a little slow but last year we advanced to the State Competition! It was so exciting. There have been very few moments in my life that have been as thrilling as when they announced that we made it to State. I was so happy for my girls. They had worked so hard. If you haven't been very involved in cheerleading you would never guess the 100s of hours and buckets of sweat (and unfortunately tears) that go into a 3 minute routine. So it's that time of year again. I am pretty confident that we will do well but all the stars have to align in order to nail a perfect routine. The slightest mistake could change the entire outcome. Luckily we go to 2 competitions so if this one doesn't go as well as we hope we get to try it again on January 31st at Bradley-Bourbonnais High School. I will keep you posted on how we do.
