Been a long time since I posted anything...partly because of my crazy life and partly because I've all but given up on my team. How terrible is it to just give up? I've had such a rough past couple of months... you really find out who your friends are! And to be quite honest...there are very few I can call "friends". And they aren't the ones I expected.
I posted in a previous blog how my mother in law was badly burned. On September 5th, after a very long hard fought battle, she passed away. Of course we all knew that was what was best, but it sure doesn't make it any easier to handle. They were married for 43 years. 43 YEARS!! That's amazing to me. I can truly look at my husband and see us 40 years from now...walking around just like them... never going anywhere without the other. And now...its all changed. This next year is going to be a tough one. Its a year of firsts. First hunting season (which is this weekend), first holidays, first birthdays and anniversarys. Its definately going to take some getting use to...but we'll make it!
And now...about my team... or maybe lack thereof would be more like it. I am still in love with the sport. I want nothing more then to play and be a great asset to my team. But it just isn't happening. After much pleading, begging and disagreements with the president, I turned over my treasure duties to him and wished him luck. There has to be something said when your the president and the only one left on the board of directors. Not saying a thing that isnt true but obviously something isnt working. Now we havent even skated in well over a month. Not one single practice and there doesnt seem to be any scheduled in the future. If there were another team closer to me, that would take me on I would consider moving teams. Don't get me wrong...I love the girls I skate with. And I love what we started out to be. I just cant stand where we are now and what it has become.
