I Still Have a Foot!


A year ago today I'm pretty sure my foot fell off. 
 The doctors sewed me up frankenstein style and I can totally still walk! yesssss! 









These next two are what my ankle looks like today. 
20 minutes ago in fact :)

Inked!



I've wanted a tattoo for a long time. So for my 21st birthday present to myself, I decided to get one! During one of our infamous late night chit chatting sessions, Erin told me the quote "You can turn off the sun, but I'm still gonna shine" I immediately fell in love with it and felt like it would be the perfect thing to make into a tattoo for me! 

 My leg will never look like this again!

The stencil

 The squishy moral support that Ron, my tattoo artist gave me to squeeze

That's Ron. He's awesome.

Erin called him my frog prince




Color!

This is what I looked like while getting my first tattoo.



All done!

Admiring my new ink for the first time :)



The video that Erin so kindly recorded without me knowing (until the end when I opened my eyes and realized) 
See, I can keep a smile while enduring pain :)

I touched it...and I wasn't supposed to

Something Fishy is going on...

Changing my fish, Razzle's water is always a process, but this time was far more amusing than usual because I decided I wanted to hold my fish. Because in the 3 years I've owned him (yes, 3 years!) I have never touched him!
Here's the series of pictures of how it went down. 
Photo cred. to none other than Erin. 









It's an aubrey kind of day

This is how we put away groceries.  It makes spending the money worth it.  Also... Aubrey is going to audition to be a model for The Price is Right.
