My Tattoo / Harry Potter Night

Thursday Evening I got a tattoo! I got it at Kylee's house because her family is friends with this guy named Joe, who has been in the business for a long time.

In this first picture Joe and I are finalizing the design of my tattoo.

The next step is the process was to put the design on shoulder. It worked in the same way that those little tattoos you apply with water work.



The next step was figuring out the vines. Joe just took a pen and drew the vines on my shoulder. That way I could see what the tattoo was going to look like before we even started.





Now it is time for getting the actual tattoo. This is when I'm starting to get a little nervous because I don't really know what to expect.


And it begins....The pain wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting, however it still did hurt. I mean it is a needle. Joe started with the outline first.







This is the final product!


Joe put saran wrap on the tattoo. I had to leave it there for an hour.


After I got done with my tattoo the gang went out and got Harry Potter part two at midnight. Then we came back to Kylee's and watched the movie.

Catching up...

I'm still trying to get used to taking my camera everywhere so I can blog about what goes on in my life. Though this post is not going to have any pictures, I'm playing catch up.

1. Mom's Halloween Party
Check her blog cuz it's on there. Same party so the post would have been close to the same anyways. The only difference is that I couldn't go see my dad play. While the "grown ups" were out doing that "us kids" were hanging out at home. We went and got some Papa Merphy's and watched Signs. After that we Youtubed various videos and had a lot of laughter.

2. Alex's Weekend Visit
This last weekend Alex came up to visit. Yes I know I have no excuse for having no pictures of this because he was here for three days...but sadly there are no pictures. The weekend was pretty eventful. (2A) THE OWL --> Friday night Alex and I took a evening drive up into the hills. As we were driving along the dirt road this gigantic owl flew right in front of us. He landed in the middle of the road about 50 feet away. (and yes I was so mad at myself because I didn't have my camera) After a couple minutes the owl flew to a fence post about 10 feet off the road. Alex and I were trying to takes pictures of the owl with our phones, but of course they turned out grainy. So...I got out of the car and walked up the owl trying to get a closer. I got to the side of the road (10 feet remember) and the owl just looked at me. It was amazing being that close to that gigantic bird without it flying away. (2B) LEAVENWORTH --> On Saturday Alex, Kylee, and I went to Leavenworth for the day. It was super fun to just walk around and shop a little bit. I bought Alex's parents Christmas present. Alex and Kylee bought some presents as well. The highlight of the day though was Alex and the hot sauce. One of the stores we went into had out sample of a hot sauce so hot there were danger signs around it. Of course this means a challenge for Alex. Almost immediately after he tasted it I had to buy him a Snapple (I was already buying something so that way he didn't have to wait in line). Then for about 5 minutes afterwards he looked drunk because he couldn't focus or walk his eyes were so bury. Part of me felt so bad for him, and the other part was laughing...on the inside of course.

3. The Car
Last week the engine light on the Sentra turned on and so yesterday I took it to the shop. Turns out nothing was wrong with it. The light just turned on because the car was too cold. Taking the car in had it's advantages however. Kylee went with me so I wouldn't have to walk back to school by myself. We figured because we were out we would have some fun. So we got manicures! It was fun to go out and just have a relaxing time while someone else make my nails look pretty. And guess what color they are? Lime Green!...but I know everyone could guess that.

Sorry this is wordy with no pictures. I'm just a slacker. But do not worry! I have a very packed weekend and this time I will have my camera! So next week I will do post for this coming weekend. =)

Halloween Care Packet

Today my family came up to visit--including my grandma. With them they brought me a Halloween care packet. It was so sweet!




My mom always does the coolest things for holidays!

We also went to Leavenworth for the day. I forgot my camera so I have no pictures of that, but it was a blast! Such a good day.

CWU Homecoming

I waited to blog about this until the pictures came back but on the 14th the school had a Homecoming dance. Kylee and I got all dressed up and then proceeded to stand outside Tori's dorm and yell at her until she came down. I know, so mean.

As part of out five-dollar entree fee we got free pictures...why couldn't the high school be that generous? Because Tori wasn't dressed up they gave her a tie to wear...


And then she took the tie off and we took another picture...


While we were hanging out and having fun, someone asked Tori to dance a slow song with him. It was very cute to watch. Something else that happened is some random guy came up behind Kylee and started grinding with her...that one was a little weird for me.

We ended up staying for the whole dance even though we weren't planning on it, and we all had a blast!

I got my grammar test back!

On Monday I had my first exam in Grammar. The only thing my teacher told the class was that we had to answer 18 of 23 questions and that we had to find prepositional phrases. Other than that we were completely on our own. No study sheet, no sample questions. A week before the test I started making note cards to study. I had no idea what to expect and so I wrote down anything that might be used.


So after many stressful study sessions and frustrating nights the day for the test came. My teacher said he was going to be in the room 20 minutes early in case we felt like we wanted more time. Because I didn't know what to expect I went early in case I needed the time. It turned out I didn't but at least I had time for a little homework before my text class.

Anyways, today we got our tests back. My teacher was less than happy because way less than half the class even passed. There were 4 A's, 5 B's, and everyone else got a D or lower. I thought I had done well, but I was still nervous to get my test back. However, when my test landed on my test it read:


Even though I didn't get an A, I am still very proud and happy because I was one of the few people in the class to even pass the test. So considering everything, I think I did pretty good.

Once again i missed a picture

Alex's Boxers Finally Came!

So as I mentioned for our anniversary I bought Alex and I both matching underwear. They finally got here last night so I picked them up after my classes today.

Alex and I always do hand hearts to each other so naturally I added that to our underwear.




On the back of both of ours I put:




I think the boxers are going to be too big for Alex, so i guess he now has a new pair of PJ's. Either way they are here and they look great!
