Roller Derby, a Family Affair!

I don’t think that I let you all know this fantastic news yet!  Now the entire female household over here is skating roller derby!  First it was just Morgan, then I joined, then Emma and now Lauren as well!

The family that skates together, stays together….

I am so proud of my girls!  Roller Derby is a fantastic athletic sport that established great confidence in myself and my girls. Now, I am only in training and most likely will never be a bouting skater due to my illness….but, I am not letting my illness stop me from experiencing life the way I want to experience it.  Who knows, maybe one day I will be a ref, or some sort of trainer for the kids.

I have met some wonderful people and made friends with people that totally accept me and my weirdness.  They also encourage me.  When I am embarrassed because I can’t do something or don’t make it through a full practice, they don’t belittle me or make me feel like I have failed.  No, they totally build me up, talk about the positives and point out that I am doing more than others because I am getting out there and I am trying, even if all I accomplished was putting my gear on and taking a few laps.  CRPS/RSD is not going to hold me back.

Morgan had a birthday on the 14th, she turned 15!  She saved up from working babysitting jobs and combined that with her birthday money and bought herself a great new pair of skates.  I see my kids continuing on with Roller Derby for a very long time…who knows, maybe you will see one of them in the Olympics!

Oh and here are my pretty red skates, just in case you hadn’t seen them yet…
