"Oh my gosh I know the lyrics..."

You will die laughing at this! Well, at least Taylor and I did. (Please excuse the profanity.)


On a separate note, tonight is another Carrier night. After being very distracted and getting in a Starbucks war (which I won) with Stephanie, I finally started studying for my literature exam. We get to use a reference sheet. This is what mine looks like so far:

Yeah, hopefully this will help me out once I'm done. And yes, I can read what I wrote, haha. I shared my testimony tonight at small group, and my eyes only leaked a little bit. I'm making progress, dear friends. Also, Stephanie (out of the unbelievable sweetness and kindness of her heart) has offered to take me home for Wednesday evening to go to Hilda's viewing. My mom doesn't think I should go (because she wants my last memory of Hilda to not be her in a casket), but I feel like I need to be there. I'm not sure if I should tell her I'm going though.... It's something I've really been contemplating, and I have less than 48 hours to make up my mind. We shall see, we shall see... I have not been able to stop thinking about Hilda and my cheering/dance experiences with her these past few days. Seemingly insignificant scenes keep replaying in my head, and the more I think about it the more I miss her. But you know, I've also been able to think about all of the really great and happy memories, which I am so grateful for.

"Stephanie, you have the worst jumps in America!" -Hildy
(It was SO true, haha. It didn't help that she put me right in the front and center between two of the best jumpers in the gym... I may or may or may not have given her grief for that...)

Hilda: "...Because what is second place?"
Youth team (in unison): "The first place loser!"
(Haha. She instilled us with such great insight!)



I think this was the proudest Hilda ever was of our Senior 4 team that year. We got 1st place at our biggest competition of the year, and she told us that we had never done the routine as well as we did that day. I'm so glad we were able to make you proud, Hilda, and your girls will continue to do so!


Just please keep praying for her family and all of her present/former cheerleaders, especially this week. I love you all! Goodnight :)
