but first i would like to say that casey never ceases to amaze me.
he’s incredibly encouraging. he’s hilarious. he’s exciting. he’s thoughtful.
and he’s so romantic. i could just melt… all the time.
i don’t deserve this man… yet… i never want to let him go.
and i never will.
i can’t wait until i get to share my life with him.
i want to be a wonderful woman/wife/mother… and all to bring God glory.
i desire our relationship to reflect the love of our Heavenly Father each moment of every day.

*sigh*

man… God is faithful.
i don’t know if it’s just starting to pick up for the summertime… but last week was a goooooood week.
let’s just say that with the money i saved up and the money i made this past week,
i can now take care of the financial resposibility i mentioned before and i have some extra monies.
(that i can use on OTHER financial responsibilities that have come up.
haha! what a vicious cycle…
it will end REEEEEAAAALLL soon. thank GOD!
and i can now call myself a joyful giver. it’s not an issue for me anymore.
i understand that it’s a privilege… which is prolly why i’m doing fine.)
but anyway, as i was saying…
i made better on my wednesday and thursday than i did on friday.
and saturday was swamped. i at at 11am, started tattoing at around 1pm,
got to eat a slice of pizza at 8:30pm, and then got to eat again at around 9:40pm.
ben said that weekdays in summer are pretty much like that.
and the weekends are busier.
which seems crazy to me… but…. i’m stoked.

here’s some stuff that i did.

some guys chest. it was his first tattoo. i have no idea what it was for and now i wish i would have asked.

“i am what i am”… although it’s funny… the guy was retired USMC. he loved popeye’s philosophy and i loved the cartoon growing up. everyone wins.

this tattoo is about 2 to 2.5 inches wide.

and this was a tribute to a father that passed away about 2 years ago. the lady’s name was nicole. and her husband’s name was merit. i don’t know if that is how you spelled either, but they were amazing people. we talked about God and faith the whole time. it was rejuvenating and comforting. she was in her late 40s/early 50s it was her ninth tattoo.
