So I went Thursday (April 20th) & got my first tattoo! I have always wanted one, but wanted it to mean something! Well, my sister (who past away...2 years in june) had a butterfly on the back of her right shoulder & it had purple on the edges & yellow in the middle.) I got butterfly on the back of my right shoulder now but the colors are opposite from hers. (purple in the middle & yellow on the edges) now i'm totally addicted to tattoos...which i knew i would be! i have my next two picked out...i know for sure that i will get at least one more...

Okay so I'm not really into the whole "knock on wood" or anthing thing like bein' jinxed, but for the most part after I graduated things have gone to shit! There are a few things that have worked out good for me (better payin' job & my boyfriend), but there are sooooooo many more bad things that have happened!

~For instance, right after graduation (6 days to be exact), my step-sister past away. Then, Jesse (guy I knew through Brad) died a week before my great uncle passed away. Then, in Oct. two of my friends, Justin & Andy, got into a wreck & died. Before I graduated I had only went to one funeral & I was in the 3rd grade. Afterwards, there were 5 people that had passed away. What is He tryin' to tell me? All I have gotten out of this is life IS too short & to live it to the fullest because there's no promise of tomorrow!

Now as I step off of my soapbox...I will leave you with this thought. Recall all that you have done today, if you leave this world tonight, is what you have said or done how you want people to remember you?

I love all of you!
