In mid-January right after the southern winter blast, Kaitlynn and I headed up to Fort Worth for the Spartans' first competition in the new year: ACA Grand Nationals. We were looking forward to spending some time downtown in between performances, and we made sure to pack the blankets and warm clothes for the cold weather. In between her prep time and performance, Kaitlynn made sure to get some reading and studying in because those AP classes don't mess around, ha!
When we learned that our favorite pizza place in the DFW area, Cane Russo, had a Fort Worth location nearby, we were SOLD! I didn't want to mess around with icy streets, so we took an Uber there before their doors even opened for a hearty pizza meal. Kaitlynn LOVES her pizza, and Cane Russo's is so delicious and the perfect pre-competition lunch.
We were so excited to experience the Spartans performance at ACA, and Kaitlynn was becoming quite the perfectionist with her cheer hair and makeup and that gold sparkly team bow. Her winter cheer look is always complete with that iconic NCA jacket as well! As for me, I'm always willing to sport the team spirit gear and accessories to cheer on our Spartans!
During our downtime in between performances, Kaitlynn and I enjoyed exploring the downtown Fort Worth area and especially our meals at the nearby restaurants. I never get tired of the one-on-one time with this girl, such a blessing to have these moments together!
While Spartans' hopes were high for ACA, unfortunately they fell short of 1st by a slim margin and came home with 2nd place. It was a super disappointing loss for the team and a long drive back to Katy, but we were proud of their fight and had to turn the page quick for the next competition.
