Well March started out GREAT!!! Then corona came and it all went to hell. There have been some bright spots but for the most part we are pretty miserable 🙁 (Well ok Jim might not be! No dance bills, no tumbling costs, hardly buying any gas for the car, etc…) I am really ready to get back out there and live our lives! March started out SO FUN with cheer tryouts. Averi has worked SO HARD the last few years getting better at her tumbling/cheer skills and she MADE THE TEAM for the 2020-21 year. We are SO EXCITED! Another year of Ramsey sports for us 🙂 I can’t WAIT to watch her cheer with her team! This is yet another thing corona messed up. She should have started practices and even had a couple performances by now. But nope. UGHHHHH! Right after cheer tryouts for Averi, we went straight into belle tryouts for Sydni! Sydni has auditioned countless times before for things and is the most chill competitor but these belle tryouts were intense!!! They had practice for several hours after school and then would go to MORE practices at local gyms each night. It was crazy! BUT it was all worth it because she made the team the week before corona shut the schools down…..They were able to have a little celebration all together that evening and she got her little bell to wear. The incoming sophomores were even able to get together for dinner the following week before corona AGAIN shut more things down this included all dine in. Syd should have started practices with her new team right away but nooooooooooooooooooo. 🙁 Sydni’s fave dance comp (Radix) was cancelled the following week…..along with the rest of her competitions shortly after that she had been working toward since last summer. We had a cruise booked for Spring break. Its always a really special week for us and we were ALL REALLY excited about it. Its already been a really tough year even without corona but then….. Corona. Averi wasn’t able to finish up her FSJ season with a really special team and coach. And we are still waiting for her to tryout for the 8th grade vball team…No last day of Ramsey for Syd and no spring choir concert….this would have been the last choir concert for my girls together EVER. (They likely won’t take choir in high school.) Its just been a lot of tears and disappointment. On the bright side for spring break we opted for a wonderful little cabin in Broken Bow where we go for tday every year and had a nice time chilling and relaxing. We got to bring Rozi and that always makes me happy 🙂 Since then I started working from home which I actually LOVE and the girls are doing all their schoolwork online including some dance and cheer. I feel really blessed that we and our friends and family are all healthy. We are surviving but I miss our life…as selfish as that sounds. I miss it a lot. Praying this is over soon and I will see my girls dancing and cheering and I will be running around like a chicken to keep up with them really soon. I know our years together are winding down. I know our football and volleyball games are numbered and our dance competitions are fewer. They will be in college soon and the hustle and bustle will be gone. That reality has always is an ache in my heart (although Jim and I can’t wait to catch a cruise on a random Thursday in the middle of the school year just bc we have the urge! 🙂 ) and it feels like corona seems to be speeding up that process of them leaving. So anyway, if you read this far thanks for letting me lament. I wanted to document this time even though I cant imagine wanting to remember all this I feel like should.
Enjoy the pics!
