States 2011

 I started a goal last year to see all 50 states before 2014.  It is being documented on my back with my tattoo. I will share my travels with you.  In February, Amanda Tidwell and I went to Chicago, IL.  We  both got very sick before the trip and was still in recovery process when we left for the airport.  I did not see as much of Chicago as I wanted because it was very cold and rainy and I didn't need to be out in it.  We did however see Lady Gaga in concert and got to visit my long time friend Ezra!!  Here are a few pictures from that trip.

I have had two more traveling adventures this year and will share them with you soon.

Halloween Already?

If you know me, you know I love dressing up for Halloween. Here are some pictures of my last few costumes.  I have already started collecting things needed for this year. I am going to be Paula Deen!!

Traditions

You will notice as I write more and more post that a lot of my Blogs will be about my very close group of friends. I am grateful  to have a group of friends and family that are true, real, and supportive of me. We have a few traditions, one being Thanksgiving dinner.  Some of us don't have family that lives close and some of us don't have families at all.  Thanksgiving can be very lonely without someone so we started getting together a few years ago on Thanksgiving afternoon/night.I am lucky to have a family that I spend the day with my family (we have lunch around 1 in Franklin,AR) and get home in time to make it to Friends Thanksgiving in time for a great dinner.  I am glad we do this and hope we keep it up for many years to come.  Do your friends have any traditions?

I don't know what I'm doing!!

It will take me a few days to figure out all of this blog thing and make sure I am doing everything right. Please stand by for the real beginning of my blog world in a few days. lol.
