#itsbetterw/twizzlers: this one came from me wanting to put something on the announcements to add some flare

#likeaboss: somebody on my soccer team had a really cool shirt with this on…

#boo-yah: my first thought when I found we were wearing paint to Reading 🙂

#dontbeanidiot: this came from Mikey and Jesse during one of our Bible studies

#paint: self-explanatory. Paint is boss
