Photo Friday


Rachel, Hannah, Natalie, and I. If you can recognize our faces from behind on the next pictures, go you.

This photo was taken a little over a year ago at my first football game at a new private school, and my first football game as a cheerleader.
         I had a cute idea of this picture and just asked to three nearest cheerleaders to join me. We had no idea what kind of friendship we would encounter through the following year.
         I cannot begin to describe my love for these girls. The friendship I have with them is unbreakable. Even after I moved to a different school this past year, and Rachel moved to Kansas, we’ve still kept in touch.
         These girls are an enormous blessing to me. All three of them are amazing Christians who help little old heathen Kasia stay on track. And if you’re around us, you will know we NEVER stop laughing. The boys last year hated us for our continuous laughter.

         I can’t pinpoint one of my favorite memories with these girls, every SINGLE football/basketball game, cheer competition, trip to walmart, p.e. class, was a great adventure. But I can say a few of the most memorial ones.
         1. Our very first cheer competition EVER. And we got second place! We were in total shock when they called off our names. Once they’d past third place we thought our chance for placing at all was gone. Our routine had gone…interesting. We still laugh to this day about what went wrong. But we got second, and I can tell you, there’s never been a team this excited about runner up.
        2. Football games were always exciting. Our second game was away, and in the beginning of September. It was also during a thunderstorm with the possibilities of tornadoes (Ya Oklahoma!!!!!!). Halfway through the 1st quarter the game was postponed due to bad weather. Considering we’d driven 3 hours to get to this game, we were NOT leaving. We were going to wait it out. So while the football boys were safe in the conveniently nearby firehouse, us girls were all crammed inside of the school’s van. For over an hour we waited with crackling thunder and lightning outside waiting to resume the game. We finally got the clear and booked it out of the van. We were graciously greeted by a plethora of crickets and red dirt. (Our math teacher’s shoes are still stained red to this day.) Needless to say we won! And got home around three a.m. Go mustangs!
         3. I’m cutting this short because I could go on and on about stories about us, but I’ll end with this. The countless times we just sat together hugging, bawling our eyes out. We knew that things wouldn’t last forever. We were going to miss the seniors, and Rachel. We had no idea that we’d eventually be missing me too. We cried because we were hurt and need God. But thankfully the reason we usually ended up crying was from laughing. Oh boy we laughed. Belly achin, tear fallin laughs.
This was our last picture together of us four, right before Rachel moved.

Oh my I love these girls.

Proverbs 17:17, “A friend loves at all times, and a brother (SISTA SISTA) is born for a time of adversity.”

God bless,
Kasia
