Well, it's been a minute. Over the 10+ years I have been sad on occasion that I did not keep up with blogging. I blame it on social media. Facebook and Instagram have acted as my family diary and photo/memory safekeeping.
Today we had our first "senior" moment with Lexi. So, after much digging of which email address I used for this blog, I finally found it and we are officially back on the blog!
Lexi had COMP Cheer tryouts this week for her SENIOR year. She started COMP when we moved from Prince of Peace Christian School to Prestonwood Christian Academy for her 7th grade year. COMP is highly competitive, demanding, and outstanding. I will blog more on COMP later.
This will be Lexi's 6th year on COMP. The youngest grade on the team is 7th so Lexi will have been on the team all the years that are allowed. Lexi will be the only senior on the team who has been on for all 6 years. This is quite the accomplishment.
Today was the last day of tryouts and Lexi was gifted the "COMP Lucky Blush" by a current graduating senior. This is a BIG deal in PCA COMP. This exact compact of blush (is it still called a compact??) has been in the team for years. Only one senior is gifted the compact from a previous senior. The tradition (COMP has many cool traditions) is before every competition, the handler of the blush walks around the "I believe" circle (more on that later too) and puts blush on each girl and gives them a quick verbal boost of encouragement for good luck. The compact has every girl's name on it who has had the blush and the years in which they have won NCA (again, more to come on that too).
Today marks a pretty significant first and a last. Fitting for our girl.
