I've got a brand new tattoo!

Well Rhea and I made another road trip to Spokane last night to get me re-inked.
Rhea and I have this tradition of her joining me for my tattoos, this was the 3rd trip with
my beautiful sister to the "big" city and Tiger Tattoo.

When we got there I pulled out my HORRIBLE picture of a tattoo I got from the internet.
I thought the tattoo artist was going to kill me. He designed a beautiful tattoo though that captured exactly what I wanted and threw in his own opinions to make it better.

It ended up being much bigger than I had planned but the detail was worth it. I know that unlike my cross tattoo, which I wish I had gotten bigger, I won't be regretting the placement or size. It took about 40 minutes to complete it which was boarderlining on too on for my pain tolerance but I didn't shed any tears, ya proud? WOW were there some spots I could have screamed, nothing like a little drama, right? Ha Ha!

Okay so without further delay...here are the pictures from our adventure...


Waiting for my tattoo to be drawn up and all smiles!
I love my sister!!



While my tattoo was being drawn up Rhea was doing some
creating of her own around the matching tattoo we got back in January.
Think we're hadding 8 flowers- 4 on each side for the months between our birthdays from October to February and 8 total for the 8 months between our birthdays from February to October. We're also thinking of writing, Friend below the sign so that its easy for people to see
what the Chinese symbol stands for.


I know it looks like I'm asleep but trust me I was NO WHERE NEAR asleep!
This hurt so incredibly badly at different times and all I could do was close my
eyes and pretend to be somewhere else.

And now without out further delay.... the finished product.....

Isn't it so pretty! My Mom thinks its too big, Dad won't even look at it and Bill can't believe I got another one. So far my friends who have seen it love it and I am CRAZY about it! I love the colors, the size, the placement! AND I'm glad that its done!

New Hair!




Well I went the complete opposite direction when it comes to my hair! Above is the before picture, taken about an hour before I went in for a change. Below is the after, I love it! Gonna take some getting used to but I just love how healthy it feels and that I won't have roots showing in 2 weeks :-) You'll have to leave me some comments on what you think!

The cutest reaction was from one of my students: I walked into class and he yells from across the room "Nice dye job!" kids are so cute!






P.S. I'm gonna get inked again!!! I am so gosh darn excited. So be on the lookout some some new pictures coming soon!!
