Cheering at my first game as a rookie was an experience I will cherish forever! I had been waiting for this day for what seemed like an eternity, and it was finally here. I had many emotions running wild throughout the entire day, but I was beyond ecstatic to finally step out onto that field as a Minnesota Vikings Cheerleader!

From start to finish, the day was filled with energy and passion. I loved looking up at the 66,000 fans in attendance and seeing their support and excitement on their face, it truly overwhelmed me with joy and put the biggest smile on my face throughout the entire game!

Dancing alongside the rest of the girls on the team was one of my favorite parts. All of the hard work and dedication we invested throughout the season was finally ready to be showcased, and knowing we got to this point with each other's support made this first game day extra special.

A few times throughout the game, I took moments to look around and embrace the entire setting I was in. My dream of dancing as an MVC was becoming reality! I feel so blessed to be a part of this team with 41 other amazing and inspiring women, and I cannot wait for the rest of the home games this season. Skol Vikings!
