love extravagantly.

Try it. Try it today and everyday for the rest of your life. I'm not talking about money and material things. Try giving extremely abundant amounts of love to everyone. Your friends, family, and even enemies. Give exorbitant amounts of love to God.

This is my goal.

my little heart

Family Tattoo Night

Do I have an awesome family or what?

Last night after work we all loaded up into the pickup and headed to town! Tattoos were what we were after, and tattoos were what we got. People always ask what it feels like to get a tattoo...well, here's our comparisons:

I said it feels like a thousand bee stings.

My dad said it feels like scraping off skin with a cuticle clipper.

Mom agreed but said it was more like pulling your skin off.

Luke said, "Feels like getting a tattoo."

I guess I'd have to agree. It's like nothing I've felt before. But, it was really a fun time. We all LOVE our new ink!

mom claims she had it the worst. from the looks of it- i'd have to agree.

dad starting to "feel the pain"

luke--and crusty!

still smiling!

all done!

the family that tattoos together...

will fuse together.

sorry, but nothing good rhymes with tattoos. haha. so ready for the big news?! my dad, mom, brother, and i are all getting tattoos together! i put together a design with all our first initials in it. everyone in the family's eventually going to get it (the youngest two are just too little) :) i'm excited!!
