My first game as rookie was one of the best days of my life so far. I remember talking about being a Vikings Cheerleader from the time I was 10 years old, and finally my dream has come true. I'm so excited to represent my favorite football team as a Minnesota Vikings Cheerleader. From beginning to end, my first day was filled with so many unforgettable memories. 

One of my favorite parts of the game was being able to run out of the tunnel for the first time in front of thousands of fans. It was a moment that I had looked forward to, but experiencing it was unlike anything I had ever imagined. The energy and excitement from the players, fans and my teammates was breath-taking. As we began the starting line up, I couldn't resist the urge to just pause for a moment and take in the intense and profound atmosphere; it was surreal. That is one moment that will always have a special place in my heart.

Being able to interact and cheer with the best fans in the NFL is so much fun. I am truly humbled to be living out my dream of being an MVC as well as being a part of one of the best organizations around. I am looking forward to cheering on the Vikings to many more wins with all of you this season. Skol Vikes!
