For all of you looking for something scandalous to talk about, here ya go. For those of you who care about me and/or went with me, as you know this was a VERY big deal to me. 35 was a bittersweet year. This tattoo marks many beginnings and endings. I am on the uphill climb to 40. I started a new job after being at home with my babies for many years. My babies have started school for the next million years, I was asked to be on two internationally recognized design teams (A DREAM), rid myself of some people that were dragging me down, joined an AWESOME spirit-filled church, and maybe the hardest of all, lost a baby. All of these things have created a very emotion filled year for me. I am also coming back to the ME I used to be. I am coming to understand that "WIFE" and "MOTHER" are awesome honors to behold, but not what defines me. I have always wanted a tattoo, but I am SO glad I did not get it way back when. I had no idea what I wanted then. I am so glad I waited to get it when I could incorporate my family and all that I am becoming. I am also blessed to have friends who stick by me and walk me through life, and the most amazing, kind, understanding, gentle, patient, loving,trusting, honest, husband a woman could have. Thanks for being part of my journey!
Well pass me a drink and knock me on the floor...It is pretty, though. Your bravery is astounding.
