Back in January 2010 I was just coming out of a bad relationship with a controlling and manipulating man-child. He was a career firefighter and a waste of breathable air. After 3 months with him, I found out he had been cheating on me. I want to say I was heartbroken, but I was relieved. I swore I would never date another firefighter again. I decided to try out dating sites again.... (I had tried E harmony and my closest match was 3 hours away from me. You’re telling me that there is no other sarcastic, fun-loving, with ok looks within 25 miles of me?) I signed up for a site called Plenty of Fish. I received A LOT of responses. The first message was always nice, and then the second one would come. So what position is your favorite? My response was always “Upright on my couch eating ice cream alone” NEXT!! As I was scrolling I came across a profile. I KNOW THIS GUY! Yet I don’t know him. I know I know him from somewhere. ...
The part of my life that I’m going share with you all is how I did not let life beat me down, and did my best to stay positive. On September 19, 2020, my husband purchased a brand-new motorcycle. (And yes I knew about it!) It was a beautiful bike, and I could not wait to ride that baby home! September 21, 2020…. This is the day that would change our lives forever. Woody got home around 3:30 that day. It was my first day of vacation so I was already home. Woody had brought home some different windshields to try out and wanted to go ride and test them. Something felt off all day, and for some reason, I was not wanting to get on that bike, but I did and didn’t follow my gut instinct. At 4:05 PM we sat at the three-way traffic light barely 5 blocks from our house. Almost exactly 2 days after the purchase. There were no vehicles waiting or coming. There is a curve that comes around a local pizza place that leads vehicles toward the direction we were turning. As we started turning...
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...
