I added a few more states

I visited New England during the summer of 2010 as part of a road trip with some friends. I’m only a few states from having visited the entire east coast!

Then I took a trip out to visit my friend Holly in Oregon in March 2011 and on my layovers I stopped in Dallas. I spent the layover with a friend of mine so I got to see a decent bit of the area outside the airport. Then when I was with Holly we went on a road trip into California! It all made for an excellent spring break.

Part 4 - 10 more

21. Wearing (and smelling) a boyfriend’s hoodie.
22. Hearing an element I’d never noticed before in one of my favorite songs.

24. Taking on new challenges.
25. Making up my own recipes for things when cooking.
26. Getting pottery fresh and warm from the kiln with glazes that turned out better than I’d imagined when making the piece.
27. Resting my head on my boyfriend’s lap.
28. Giving or receiving a good back massage.
29. Getting an email with the good news you’ve been waiting for.
30. Getting butterflies in my stomach.



Get a tattoo
Almost

In October I had an appointment made to get my first tattoo at Fate Tattoo in Columbus, Ohio. I was really excited and had been talking with Jack about the bracelet I wanted for a couple of months. However, there was a big mixup with the date he had me down for, so I wasn’t able to get the tattoo in October. Since I live in Virginia Jack was kind enough to give me a huuuuuge discount so that next time I visit Columbus I’ll be getting my first tattoo and possibly second as well. I’m excited and a little nervous, but I can’t wait. Once I get my tax return/loan refund money I’ll set a date to get it done, hopefully in February!
