O'Christmas Tree, O'Christmas Tree!!

Yeah, we are a little late decorating this year. We had to get a real tree this time (oh darn)...I was planning on going to a Tree Farm and have Mike cut down a tree with an axe, but he wasn't going for it! I'm still wondering why. ;-)

Anyways, Mike went to Lowes and got a tree, I told him I really didn't care where he got it, just go get one!!! Not a lot of pictures of it, so I'm only posting 2. My camera wasn't really capturing it the way I wanted it to.

I love real trees. We've only had 1 since we've been married and I forgot how good they smell!

This would have been one of my 12 Days of Christmas, but I think I'm "dropping out". lol. I don't have enough to post on. Good luck to everyone else though!

Love ya'll!

What are we thinking??

Ok, so if you've read my previous post, you saw the recent update I did to myself. You know, the whole "Fish on a hook" thing! Ok, well, today, I also got a funkier hairstyle...Which I love!...BUT this post is NOT about me for a change! It's about my husband Michael! Yes, I'm still married and yes, he does still exist. LOL. I know, I very rarely do posts about him, but this, I think deserves a special post.

So when we were at the tattoo shop a couple weeks ago, Mike found this design on a poster and got to talking to the tattoo artist Caleb (the same guy that did Mike Toews and Cortnee's tats), well, Caleb has really been wanting to do that design on somebody and was really excited that Mike was interested. He was even going to give Mike a special price because of the fact that he has always wanted to do it on someone. So, we went to the tattoo place today and YES, he did it!!!

Here was the picture he saw on the poster.

This was the second the needle started going.

And here is the finished product!

It actually looks really really cool! Caleb did a GREAT job!

I don't know what we are thinking...Piercings and tattoos??!! See what Nashville does to people? HaHaHa.

Hope you enjoyed this post! ~Love ya'll!~

Fish on a Hook!

So last week, we all did something crazy...Zach and Cortnee were here visiting Mike and Cindy and Cortnee convinced Sheri and Cindy to get their noses pierced. Sheri's been wanting it done for a while but she just needed a little push and Cortnee was just the one to do it! :-) Ya Cortnee! Well, I've been thinking for a while about getting another piercing myself, and just being there and with a little push from my husband, I went ahead and went through with it. I've looked up this kind of piercing online and from what I've read, it's one of the most painful piercings you can get! (Thankfully I read that AFTER I got it done!) I also read that when you get this done, you officially know what's it's like to be a "fish on a hook". Aint that the truth! lol. So here I am getting "hooked"The tattoo shop that we went to was awesome! It was right downtown and everyone in there was a believer! They had Christian music playing, bibles by the door, and just their way of doing things is amazing! We found one of our new favorite places here in Nashville! :-)
Yes, I got a little nervous...Just a little though.
He's lining it up

I'm hooked!Right after it was done, he needed to screw the "bowling ball" on.
Yep, we all got something done that night! 3 piercings and 2 tats..Mike Toews got a cool tat on his arm too. And Cortnee got a really cute little star behind her ear! Sheri and Cindy's noses look so cute!
Here's the finished product, HOWEVER, in 9 days I will be putting a smaller stud in. (Sheri I need that picture of your husband and the stupid spoon lol)

I personally like it. I know there are some that I've heard that do not like this type of piercing. And that's ok, I didn't do it for you. I did it for me. :-)

It's actually called a Labret (sounds like Lebrae). It's not considered a lip piercing.

So, there you have it. If you want to know what it felt like in case you are considering it yourself, the initial piercing was a piece of cake, it's the after effects that suck. Nothing you can't handle though! :-) I know, I'm crazy. In a good way though. HaHaHa.

We are going back on Friday for something else...Hmmmm, wonder what it could be...Check back cuz I'll definitely be posting it!

Love Ya'll.
