I'm a Marked Woman

In honor of this upcoming Memorial Day, I thought this was the perfect time to show you all my tattoo!  I was never sure that I ever wanted a tattoo, but I was not against the idea.  I just knew that if I ever got one it would have to be something that really meant something to me...something I wouldn't ever get sick of {because duh, they're permanent!}

Well a few weeks after we got married, I finally realized I did want one and knew exactly what I would get.  Skip and I went to the tattoo place together and we both got some ink that day.  He got a compass on his back with my name above it...and I got this!


I absolutely love it!  I wanted a way to always remember Skip's deployment and how strong we came through it together.  It is located on my lower back.
I am happy that I will always have a physical reminder of Skip on me!

    Love it. I'm addicted to tattoos and it's fortunate that I can't afford anymore. :)

    I wanted a tattoo and then didn't and now can't decide. My issue is that they are permanent and I can't figure out what to put on me forever! I love yours though! The perfect tattoo that you will never get tired of seeing!

    I also feel as though I should tell you that we can't be friends anymore now that I've seen how freaking tiny you are! I would never wear a bikini around you, for fear of looking like a whale!! Just kidding of course, except that you are seriously putting me to shame in the bikini department!! :)

Spring Giveaway!

First off I want to thank Kim over at Life As I Know I t for becoming my 100 th follower! I love her blog and just know we would hang out all the time if she didn't live across the country. I am completely humbled that 100 people actually want to read what I have to say! Blogging has opened up a whole new world of friendships to me and I would probably not have kept doing it if it was not for all of you! Okay, now it's down to the good stuff. I am *dying* for a little spring around here. We had a few days of warmth and sunshine, but for the past three days it has been raining...again....I heard they have even mobilized our National Guard in case the rivers decide to really get out of hand...you know more than the crazy flooding they've already been doing. Anyways, one of my favorite things to do to get ready for spring is to paint my nails a fun, bright color. So today I am giving away these beauties. One lucky reader will win all four of these fabulous colors! I g...

$50 CSN Giveaway!!

As you all know, I have raved about my love of CSN stores several times before.  They have a huge selection of products and are constantly adding new stores to their website.  My family definitely headed over there to do some of our Christmas shopping, and I was just perusing their selection of flat panel TV stands.      It's one thing, however, for me to tell you how great CSN is.  But it's another for you to experience it yourself.  That is why I am so excited to be sponsoring a $50 gift certificate giveaway to CSN to one of my readers!!!  It's the perfect opportunity to order yourself something you didn't receive for Christmas, or check out their fitness equipment to help with your new year's resolution! Entering is simple...just leave a comment telling me what your new year's resolution is {you can also just say you aren't making any this year if that's the case!}  The giveaway will be open until January 7th 10:00 pm est.
