7 January 2014

Not much happened today out of the norm.  I did get a call from Deanna (from Wells Fargo) who was giving me the scoop on everything and everyone.  She was telling me how everyone has left the branch and how none of the customers come in since I have left......That's what they ass get....She was telling me how she is trying to be a banker and wanted to go to Buckley and Iliff with Crystal but was advised against it.  I am tooooo glad that I was let go no matter how fucked up it was and how they did it.  I am a true believer that what goes around comes around and Mr. Derrick Fullers days are numbered.  For those who had my back, I wish them nothing but the best.............As for the others!  Well we know how that saying goes....Ahahahaha

Finally!

Finally got the email I have been waiting for all week......

I got my house and I will be moving in on February 1, 2014 but I take possession on January 15, 2014. 

Finally washed my hair!

New Moves!

Today was a pretty normal and boring day at work.  The only thing that happened of any importance was the fact that I finally go a call from the realtor letting me know that she finally decided to run my credit and that she wanted to know what date I wanted to move.  The funny thing is that she has been in Taiwan and our contact has been very sporadic at best.  Here it is a friday and now I am having to wait until next week to find out if I actually will get the home I am interested in.  To top it off, if I do get it I have to move in on the 15th...........that gives me a total of 9 days from Monday because the realtor office is not open on the weekends and Sandy is going to be on a 24 hour flight from her homeland........I also got a call from my eldest daughter expressing interest in moving to Arizona soon because she feels she is going to be homeless when her roommate leaves in or around June.  She is basically the last person in the family left in Colorado.  Only time will tell what she will really do but until then I have to focus on this move and my new job which is going to take some time in getting used too.  I feel like I have taken several steps back in time..........I went from being a character in the "Jetsons" to being a character in the "Flintstones"..........

Day 2

Today was a pretty chill day not too much to report. I did finally get a call from Remax in regards to that house I want to move into so hopefully after doing the background check today that will be approved and I will be moving on February 1 keep your fingers crossed

Reflection!!

So many things have transpired in the year 2013 going into 2014 that I would like to reflect on. Some of the most memorable moments of 2013 were me overcoming obstacles with my previous injuries of breaking not only my leg but my arm skating.  I vowed that would be an event that I would never allow to hold me down and going into 2014 I can say that I'm still a roller.  I also experienced death like none other in 2013 and lost several very valuable members of my immediate family to cancer. I would like to say rest in peace to my grandmother Ada Marie Bolden-Hunn, I would also like to say rest in peace to my uncle Earl Hunn and last but certainly not least I would like to say rest in peace to my auntie Marjorie Hunn.  2013 also marked the end of almost a 12 year run on what I started out as a career with Wells Fargo Bank. After many unhappy days I was initially let go and it was a scary time in my life because it came at a time that I was trying to move out of Colorado to Arizona for my daughter to start school. However Wells Fargo letting me go only forced me to be stronger and to step up and do what I knew I always was able to do and that was move forward into something bigger and better.  Now I am currently an assistant store manager with US Bank I finally landed that position after approximately five months of unemployment. I am very grateful for this opportunity and I look forward to everything that this position has in store for me in 2014. Another major move was the fact that I did leave Colorado and moved to Arizona with everything I owned with money in the bank no job and barely a place to live.  Only to only come and meet so many wonderful and supportive individuals.  My family was embraced and we joined a wonderful sisterhood with the sisters expressing integrity a.k.a. sexy kitties which my daughter is a part of. I have participated in several community service activities more than I've ever done in my 43 years of existence in Colorado. I conquered one of my fears and actually was a mascot on behalf of Colon Cancer alliance in remembrance of my grandmother on my fathers side Elizabeth Walker-Gooch, may she also rest in peace. There are so many things that I have accomplished going into 2014 and it can only get better hopefully along the way I will continue to strive to make myself better, reach new goals and accomplish some things I wanted with old goals.  I also want to build and forge long-lasting relationships. I also hope that this is the year that love finds me and I find love so that I do not have to continue to do this struggle or even all of these wonderful experiences on my own. I will attempt to blog everyday for the next 364 days as well as post pictures to show the milestones in my life as well as the struggles. In short I plan to do it up in 2014 and this will be my life at a glimpse so please enjoy!

This was the last photo taken in 2013 this is with my sisterhood God bless them all and I wish them nothing but success in the new year!

365 Days Into The Life of a Skater!

The life of a skater can consist on good days and bad days. I began skating as a child and I can remember skating so hard in my white skates with metal wheels that I would throw sparks....Man those were the good days. As I got older I started to go to the adult night skate session and I was in heaven. I went every Sunday night faithfully. As the gang epidemic started to flourish, I stopped skating for fear of being killed.

Here I am now at the tender age of 41 and I have been skating again for a little over a year. My daughter and her boyfriend both work for the skating rink here in Aurora, Co which is a wonderful thing for me and every other skaters dream. I go skating on an average of 5 day a week or a total of 25+ hours a week. I do all of this even though I work 12 hour days and I am also a college student. I have started to travel to other places to skate and I have even designed a t-shirt line with the name of the group that I created. I haven't been this happy in years and I have found one of my passions again.

On March 4, 2012, this would all change in the course of a few minutes and sideline me from my love of skating for an undetermined amount of time. In short I was doing a small routine and due to the floor of the rink not being monitored or cleaned of debris, I fell and broke my ankle in 3 places. The purpose of this post and the posts that are to follow, is to track my progress, give me forum to vent and also to share just how much this means to me.
