Please Don't Promise Me Forever by Rick Lyons

in love with...

i'm also obsessed with kimya dawson as well

The ground started bouncing so i jumped up trying

To feel like an angel flying

Watch out for the power lines

Unless you wanna die

Little Notes

cute is when your personality shines through your looks. like, when you see some one's personality in the way they walk and you just feel like hugging them every time you see them.

Dear Penny Collector,

I found you a lucky penny. Why didn't you come in for some ice cream? I'm excited to give it to you.

Dear Nice Lady,

Thank you for saying I'm a blessing. It's one of the best compliments and it made me feel really good.

Dear Boyfriend,

Please remind me why I wanted to go on that big walk? I'm SORE!

Dear Mother Nature,

Keep up the nice weather. I love the sunshine. Love love love the sunshine.

Dear Sex and the City and Friends,

Why did you stop making new shows? I miss you both.

sometimes...

i wish i could spell

i wish i were shorter

i wish i wouldn't nibble my fingers

i wish i had better ideas

i wish i wasn't so shy

and

sometimes...

i wish my boyfriend would dress like husband (josh) on rockstar diaries

( i mean seriously, that man has THE best style! )

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!

love pull your sore ribs in...

i will pull your tangles out.
