Flashback Friday!

  Alright! So today is a Flashback Friday post, and I'm going to write about one that I feel like anyone can relate to... Let's talk about Football Fridays! I remember how busy my Fridays were in high school. Now, I am busy every other Friday, working late and into the weekend. It kind of feels the same. Eh, maybe not quite- but let's keep going!

Anyway, I remember how excited I would be getting ready for school on football Fridays. I was both a cheerleader and a band member, so I knew I had a lot to do for the whole day, especially if we had a pep rally. I basically didn't get to sit down from the time I got out of school until I went to bed. I was up doing something the whole time. And that's not even counting the early Saturday morning band competitions!

This was one of our first band festivals as a couple! Thomas and I are high school sweet hearts 💜

Here I am trying to make sure everyone is in their spot for the dance routine!

Our very purple uniform closet!

I definitely don't miss high school or anything like that, but I do like to remember the comradery of it all. People talking all day about who's riding with who to the game or if so-and-so is going to break up with someone after the game. I don't know, something about the high school drama but in a theme of football is just entertaining to remember. 

This may have been an away game or a band festival picture. I was drum major that year!

Thomas graduated high school the year before me, so here he is not in a band uniform when I won homecoming queen!

My sister, Rachel, was in marching band with me for my senior year!

The morning would start with the morning announcements at school "good morning, Twin Valley High, tonight in the billion-dollar coal fields your mighty panthers take on the *insert other school mascot* ". This was a football Friday tradition. Now I should maybe mention that my high school wasn't the big football school back home, but the games were still so much fun for me. As I mentioned, I was busy for the whole game. I would be cheering for 4 quarters and playing a field show for half time! Plus, I would have to quickly chat with some buddies to see if so-and-so was really going to break up with someone! 

All in all, my high school football Fridays were busy but still fun. Now, every other Friday I either work 9-3 or 12-8. Still busy, but not as much fun. I try to make the most of it though! I may not have pep rallies or half time shows, but I do have my three furry fans waiting at home!
