I told myself that 2026 would be the year I would I told myself that 2026 would be the year I would get ‘me’ back and I suppose I have been on a mission! ❤️‍🔥

I’ve had this Anberlin tattoo floating around in my brain for yearsss. Finally talked through it with a friend, shared my ideas with @alexandratattoo , and she made them all come to ✨LIFE!✨ Had the best time enjoying several hours of girl talk, good music, and tattoo therapy with her - truly it is therapy and she is the best of the best!!!

I’m not sure I could ever put into words what Anberlin’s music has meant to me over the years. If you feel that way about music in any capacity - you get it. It’s definitely one of those ‘if you know, you know’ things. My Dad was a musician and he certainly passed that feeling down to me. Love that I carry that with me! 

And now I get to carry pieces of my favorite band with me. 🖤🎶
Happy birthday to my SEVEN year old tiny bebe Cohe Happy birthday to my SEVEN year old tiny bebe Cohen! He rolled his eyes at me when I said it’s crazy that he went from 6…to 7! If you know you know. 

Cohen is so sweet, kind, helpful, and smart. He loves building hot wheels tracks, setting up play areas for his little brothers, swimming, NASCAR, baseball, and never sitting still or being quiet… ever. 😆 

I’m so thankful God chose me to be his mom! I love you Cohen!! Happy birthday!!

Chaos!

Mmkay. So let me tell you all a little somethin-somethin about box hair color. It’s fun times- but sometimes the fun doesn’t last long. LOL. Let’s just say that it doesn’t really look like it did when I first did it. I have a hair appointment tomorrow. The brunette thing was short lived, and I didn’t quite go ALL the way in the direction I intended to with the color- however, where I stand right now is a lot easier on the whole “returning to blonde” route than if I went darker and THEN decided to go back to blonde. I kind of wanted to do brunette the right way at the salon tomorrow but I’m pretty sure I just don’t have that much adventure in me. I half-assed it. I know. But.. who knows. I could change my mind by tomorrow. I’m definitely wanting to spice up the blonde somehow. Red? I loved that when I had it.

Chaos #2. Waking up to a flat tire. Not me, Nate. But it may as well have been me because that little joker stole my car like a thief in the night! 😉 Granted, he works like 30 minutes away from home and I work about 5. He goes in at 6AM and I go in at 10AM .. so .. the likelyhood of someone being able to come and transport me to work was fairly good. But then.. we couldn’t get ahold of anyone.. and it was 9:18AM and I was shoving grits in my face wondering what to do. So long story short, my friend Brittany (who goes in at 9AM) came from work and got me. Thank goodness. I wasn’t even late. When Nate got off he took care of business and now we’re back on track.

So between the tire fix and tomorrow’s hair fix- I think we’ll make it through the week. 🙂 Looking forward to Cincinnati this weekend. I already miss Jackson & Kristie. I’m such a sap.

PS: Listen to this song. I heart David Bazan. <3 These lyrics especially:

“You used to sound like a prophet, and everyone wanted to know
How you could tell the truth without losing that soft glow
But now you feel like a salesman, closing another deal
Or some drunk ship captain, raging after the white whale”

    Emmy- at least 4 weeks is long than.. less than a week. HAH. Apparently I'm trying to make my hair fall out. And yes I hope you get a new car soon!

    Leanne- No one could've stopped me from doing what I did. I was a crazy woman on a like Bipolar mission. WANT. TO. DYE. NOW. … and I paid for it. 🙁 Never again.

    Kristie! Yay, you found my blog! I didn't make it too hard though. 😉 I can't wait either. One more day, woo hooo!
