My Favorite Love Story

Hi Friends! As I said in my introduction, the story of Matt and Ninja is a motorcycle club love story. We originally met in 2014 or 2015 depending on which of us you ask. Over the next few years, we would see each other a few times a year at club events and became friends. By 2018, we had both gone through separations/divorce and Matt thought we should hang out. I thought that was a horrible idea for many reasons and would ruin our friendship. I for sure didn’t want to be involved with another police officer after being with and married to one for 14 years. After 3 months of him pestering me, I finally gave in. I figured we lived 9 hours apart and it couldn’t possibly go anywhere. 

We hit it off amazingly!!!! In October 2018, after 6 months of long-distance dating, I moved from Vermont to New Jersey. Matt proposed to me in October of 2020 on the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway while on a motorcycle trip to Tennessee. We had the most perfect and beautiful wedding on the beach in Barbados in October 2021. We had 22 guests join us and of course 14 of them were from our motorcycle family!!! 

Since our wedding, Matt has retired from his police department. We continue to travel extensively and average 7-8,000 miles each year on motorcycles. We also have a beautiful RV that is now a big part of our adventures. Currently, we are in Miami for the winter where I am working as a travel nurse!!! We have lots of travel plans coming up but we will save that discussion for another day.

  You may recall from my intro to the blog that I'm a work-from-home entrepreneur - I have my own social/digital marketing firm. It's a real challenge getting my name out there since it's a startup. I'm often up in the wee hours of the night with ideas, concepts, or random thoughts that just come to me or sometimes it's the random train of thought from earlier in the day that derailed and I had no survivors I suddenly find one and now I'm AWAKE! However, there are some perks of working from home: The commute is pretty decent, might be a furry speed bump along the hallway, but mostly smooth sailing. Coworkers are pretty decent, sometimes demanding, often distracting, and most of the time just plain quiet and a lot of one -sided conversation. Breakroom is usually pretty stocked. The ability to say meh it's 5 o'clock somewhere after a meeting that doesn't go well and no one blinks! Working from my pj's is usually my uniform Work when I can sneak

Welcome to the Tribe…

​The Traveling Tribe… This tribe is made up of 5 beautiful, inspirational, talented, and empowering women who are all in different stages of life! The tribe is composed of 4 married ladies (all fire/police wives) and one that is almost married.  Some are small business owners, one is a medical professional and also a kickass firefighter, one just left a retail job with over a decade in the field, and another is counting the days till retirement (well all of us are in some way shape, or form), but one definitely can see the light at the end of the tunnel and it ain't no train!  A few ladies have been divorced, we have all had our share of heartbreak, dealt with mental health issues, lost a job or two, some attended college, some raised kids, a few have overcome medical issues, had financial struggles, fought demons and some are still fighting, and one is just a crazy plant lover, and we have all learned a lot along the way. While we have only been officially a tribe since 2020 amid

Just the beginning

Just the beginning    Part 3: Accident series I was finally home after 16 days in the hospital.  Seeing the new wheelchair ramp that was built by our fire family made me cry.  Crying because it was built with love and support.  Crying because this is my new normal until I work my way out of the chair.   When I finally got inside, I got to see my fur babies.  Obviously, they  didn’t  understand why they couldn’t jump all over me, so they lay beside me on the floor.  They would occasionally bump my hand to ensure  I was still there.   Then the medical equipment started appearing.  Nothing ruins your dignity more than having a portable toilet beside your bed.  Though I will say I had fun making Woody uncomfortable by staring at him while sitting there!  HAHA!!  My daughter helped me get on my new shower seat so I could take my first real shower  I’d  had in the 16 days.  As I sat there with the water just running over me, I cried.  I bawled until there were no more tears.  I washed my hai
