Foley Hot Air Balloon Festival...

My mom and I were trying to do things we had never done before. We had realized how much we take local things for granted. When we found out that there was a hot air balloon festival in Foley, Alabama, we decided we wanted to check it out. Turns out Foley is WAY out in the boonies and not exactly easy to get to. And the balloon festival was not as exciting as they made it out to be, but we had a good time anyway, lol.

First Tattoo!

My sister and brother (but especially my sister) have been trying to talk me into getting a tattoo for years. I have told them over and over that IF I was to ever get one, I wanted it to be something I really wanted and not just something spur of the moment. Plus, I have always been quite a chicken as far as how much it might hurt.

So, once I decided on what I wanted, and after going through months of giving myself shots with huge needles, I came to the conclusion that I was ready! I had decided that I wanted a rose with black and white tiger stripes. My sister had a place that had designed her last tattoo, so she took me there. It was definitely an interesting experience and I will probably do it again, once I decide on something else I want.
