Where I Want To Travel

Yesterday I spent the day in Palm Springs. We started out in the downtown area and needless to say I completely fell in love. I have been to Palm Springs in the past, on a vacation with my family when I was in middle school, but obviously at that age you don't really appreciate traveling to different places. Especially when you're a kid and don't want to go around looking at random plants and reading signs in 100 degree weather. But that is all in the past now and I think I have fallen in love. Walking downtown just made me ... happy. I don't know, it simply could have just been because it finally was warm outside and the heat was getting  to me, but I loved it.

Yesterday was when I decided that I am going to move to Palm Springs for a period of my life. It might only be for six month in the winter time one year (because I wouldn't be able to survive in those hot ass temperatures), but I will do it.

I also was listening a Chris Young song and decided on visiting two more places. Cheesy, I know. Deciding where to travel to because of some song lyrics but I don't care! He talked about the sky in Cheyenne, Wyoming and the sunset in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Both of those places haven't been on my bucket list before yesterday, but they are now.

Along with those two places are:

• Nashville, Tennessee
• Tuscaloosa, Alabama (ROLL TIDE) 
• All of Alabama (ROLL DAMN TIDE)
• Texas (Like all of it)
• All of the Southern States
• Smokey Mountains (Tennessee)
• Every single state in the USA

I literally just want to travel the whole country so I realize now that it's kind of pointless for me to make a list.

I got a tattoo?!

February 6, 2015.

That day will forever be the anniversary of my first tattoo. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!! I went into town with Gorcynski and Espana. Gorcynski was planning on getting her fourth tattoo and I was just going along for the ride. But things happen and we ended up at American Art tattoo shop and I got my first tattoo.

I got it done by Jodean Sinner and I went in with a picture of what I wanted and then together we sat there and picked out a good font on the computer. She was really good about it because she didn't want the "J" looking like an "I" or a "G" and that was really cool. Then she was brutally honest about how bad it was going to hurt. I liked that though because it prepared me. Everyone told me that would be one of the worst pains of my life and boy were they wrong. She started out with the smaller lines so I could test out what it would be like. I remember thinking, "OH ... That's it?". And no, I'm not just trying to sound cool or what not I'm being honest! It basically feels like a cat scratching you for a while.The hardest part about the tattoo was focusing on my breathing because if I flinched at all I would have wiggles in the lettering and she wouldn't be able to fix it. So that kind of stressed me out but also helped me focus on something else besides the pain.

Overall, I'm so happy with how it all turned out and I love it.

Will I ever regret it? Doubt it, but if so I'll know that that is where I'm at in my life right now.

My advice for you: If you're having any question about getting your first (or next) tattoo, GET IT!

XOXO
