Better Together

My alarm went off early this morning, but instead of putting on my exercise clothes, I dress in business casual and head out the door before anyone else in the house.

Cheerleader

When I was in the 8th grade I began cheerleading. What fun it was to get the cute skirt, the monogrammed polo and sweatshirt, hand painted ladder, red Keds and more. After perfecting the feather for my bangs and applyinf the lip gloss, I was ready to cheer. Did I know the difference between offense and defense? Well…..no, but there…
