Graduation ! Macomb Community College Alumni!!

I finally completed my Management Degree from Macomb Community College. I wanted my son and daughter by my side but my daughter was not able to make it but T.J was here. I wanted the person that push me to be my best to be with me but he could not get off work to come either. I celebrated with my co-workers and friends, Michelle, Ronnie, Scott, Rodney, Diana and Randall. T.J spent the whole weekend with me before he went back to Kansas.

I have two classes left to complete my Marketing Degree but I might have to wait to complete it until I can pay for the two classes and my books . I have learned alot from my instructors at Macomb and I want to continue to share my knowledge with others. This was a hard 2 years. I gave up any free time I had and I had to focus on me.

I know that Management is what I want to do and my next step in my career. I am trying to decide where I go from here for me. Do I stay in Michigan? I love everything but the winter here. I love my job and the guys that work for me. They are a great team.


My Graduation Weekend



Catching up with life!



So much as happened since January. I went thru the process for the Bariatic Surgery but the procedure was denied because of my past surgery history. At first I was angry because I really wanted the surgery, but the surgeon was afraid that I would die on the table. It was hard for me to hear him say that but my life is more important. The doctor started me on a insulin pump, because I wanted the Dexcom to monitor my blood sugar. Because I wanted the Dexcom, I tried it. It didn't work for me. The type of insulin the pump uses was Novolog. It was putting Novolog in my body 24 hours a day. I started gaining weight even eating 500 calories  no carbs. This was very frustrating to me. School was difficult, work was stressful but it was my time to graduate. 

I learn some things about myself this semester thanks to a close friend. Love is a hellified thing and it is scary and uncontrollable. I learned that I keep a wall up around myself to protect myself from getting hurt. I don't let people inside because that is just too painful. I have to keep a safe place for myself. People from the outside look in but they see what they feel isn't right with me life but they don't understand why it has to be this way.

Dealing with me isn't easy. I have to feel I have my freedom but I know they are there when I need them. I am a runner and when I get scare that I am getting too close ,  I pull away. I don't understand but I want to fix me. I read everything in path about relationships and I listen to what everyone has to say but they don't understand that he knows me. He has listened to me for 9 years and he has seen me run and he know why I run. 

We live our lives the way we know works for now. I understand him and his situation. I did the same thing when I was raising my son.
