Here is an update from recently retired BenGal, Maria. Maria moved to Minnesota and is currently auditioning for the Minnesota Vikings Cheerleaders! Soon we will be able to vote for Maria on the Vikings web site (http://www.vikings.com/)! Good luck, Maria! We will be cheering for you!
Hello!!!! Wow...well a lot has happened over the past week. I wanted to send you an email to let you know about everything that has been going on!! Well I never got my passport to go on the overseas tour with the Bengals....but I really believe that everything happens for a reason.
I moved up here to Minnesota on Friday and let me tell you...that was an adventure. Almost everything I own was packed in to my little Toyota. I couldn't see anything out of my passenger side window and I could only see a little bit out of my back window, but I had all my good CD's and a few Redbulls....so I was ready. 11 hours and a lot of rain later I made it to Minnesota.
I am staying with on of the Vikings cheerleaders until my boyfriend and I get our apt. She is so nice. I had my first try out on Saturday and GUESS WHAT??? I made the first cut!!! It was really hard and it was really different from the Bengals but I did it! Today I went to the interview part and it went really well! So now I go on to the training camp part of the tryout. I go Thursday of this week and then every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday until April 24th. On April 24th, I will perform at the Mall of America. That will be our final try out!! So wish me luck!
Also, in a few days you will be able to go to the Viking website (www.vikings.com) where you can vote for who you want to be on the team!! So if you could help me out and vote....that would be great!!!
I am still looking for a job. I am working really hard to find one and have talked to a lot of people. I can't wait to start working. I never thought I would say that...but I don't know what to do with myself and it has only been two days. I will keep you updated on the try outs and everything. I hope everyone is doing well and I really miss home!! Talk to you soon!!!
Take Care
Maria

Hello Cincinnati Ben Gals from 1996 and 1997 Seasons,
I hope you all are doing well! I am e-mailing the blog to request prayers! I have been through a whirlwind of events and am asking for prayers for myself and my husband to get through this situation! My name is Angi Lampkin (1996 and 1997 Season)and here it goes...
1. December 27, 2006- My husband was diagnosed with Viral Cardiomyopathy which led into Congestive Heart Failure
2. January 2007- Hospitalized due to complications of his condition
3. February 2007- Same as above
4. March 2007- Husband had a minor stroke and a pacemaker/defibrillator implanted
5. April 10th- Husband was put on the Heart Transplant LIST
6. April 14th- MY HUSBAND HAS A NEW B-DAY AND A NEW HEART
Yeah , I know , an amazing story. And this all happened to a man that is only 37 years old. So I am requesting prayers from my old cheering buddies because prayers do wonders. My husband is doing amazingly well considering, but prayers can always help!! I hope you all are healthy and happy.
Please keep in touch and God Bless!
