Indianapolis Colts Cheerleading Reunion [Celebrating 30 Years of the Indianapolis Colts]


What a whirlwind month this has been! A few days after Cora's 1st birthday, we made a road-trip down to Indiana for my Indianapolis Colts Cheerleading Reunion.  It was five days of craziness and LOTS of driving, but well worth the trip.  I can't even begin to describe how amazing it was to be an NFL Cheerleader again for the week and weekend, and perform at the Colts football game.  I loved it!  But, what I loved even more, was that this time, I had a daughter who could watch me perform!  Having Sonoma come to the football game with my family, was so much fun.
I cheered exactly 10 years ago, so it was a blast seeing all of the women again, from all 30 seasons of the Colts being in Indianapolis.  My family and I drove down together to Bloomington, and then Marcus drove back and forth each day to work in his Indy office.  I was driving separately to my Colts practices and events.  The girls stayed in Bloomington and split time with all of the Grandparents. Each night Marcus and I would drive back to Bloomington separately to stay with the girls.  I'm still sore from all the practicing, working out and dancing.  I forgot how much hard work it all was!

The new Colts Cheerleading Coach and the former cheerleaders who helped put the entire week together, did SUCH a fantastic job and made us all feel very welcome.




I couldn't believe they brought the Vince Lombardi trophy to our dinner!



I've missed my friend, Jennifer!

One of our family friends, Sally, is on the squad this year.


Practice Thursday night

It was really special having Marcus be there to support me and attend the event with me.  We started dating when I was cheering back in 2003!

Miss this girl so much!

Missed cheering at the Dome, but Lucas Oil was awesome

I was so thankful my parents were at the game, bought us all tickets, and brought Sonoma up with them

Pictures before the game just like old times

LOVED having this little good luck charm there to cheer me on.  Sonoma made me the sweetest good luck card the morning before the game.


My sister and her boyfriend are so supportive and I loved having them there with my family.




I made the big screen!


Heading to eat before the game!





These two had a blast together!


And even though she was too little to come to the game, I had to get a pic of my Coco!  

This whole week and weekend would have never been possible without the help and support of my parents and Marcus' parents.  They helped make everything so much easier for us.  We love and appreciate you SO much!  

GO COLTS!
