Good Morning Beautiful!

Hello all! well the song Good morning beautiful was on the radio when i started this so hence the title! and well it is a great song also (country for those who don't know it) and grant has always called me beautiful since we started dating, it is just a name that has stuck, we used to sign letters to each other and he would always address it hey beautiful and i would sign them your beautiful lady...a little inside thing for us. and also a reason for one of my tattoos i have the kanji (Japanese) symbols beautiful and strong on my back. they mean a lot to me because every women has those days where you just don't feel beautiful and when i see them it reminds me i am beautiful inside and out, and no matter what you think someone thinks your beautiful, looks don't mean everything everyone is beautiful, and strong to remind myself to be strong throughout what god throws at me and to not care what people think and do what i know is right. once when someone asked me what they meant i told them and they said oh i would have ugly and weak...it really upset me b/c beautiful and strong don't mean "pretty" and "powerful" like that, i was really upset, but reminded myself to ignore them i know the meanings of my tattoos and that is all that matters. well since i am talking about my tattoos i guess i can also tell you about my other ones.



I also have a snapdragon (the flower) on the top of my right foot. this one is in memory of my Grandma. it was a really hard time when she passed away b/c i was really close to her, also she was sick with dementia (a form of Alzheimer's) for quite a while before she passed, and anytime i look at my foot i think of all the great times we had together and not as much the ending when she was really sick in the hospital. my plan is that when my grandpa (her husband) passes i will get a leaf or something like that put on/under the flower in memory of them both. See we always used to "play" with the snapdragon flowers. The snapdragon is a flower that if you squeeze its sides it opens and closes like a dragon's mouth, hence the name snap dragon, and i remember "snapping" the flowers at my grandparents and them doing it back to us teasingly, and it is just something i will never forget and smile when i think of it. Also it took me over 3 years to be able to get it without crying, and i think i needed to wait until then so it was a "happy" feeling and not so upsetting. i took it really hard when she passed b/c my sister and i were really close to my grandma, and she helped raise us, they used to babysit us in the summer and after school. so that is the reason for that tattoo.


(this picture is right after i got it done so it is still a little red, i got this one in February 2008)My other tattoo i have on the inside of my right wrist. they are again kanji symbols saying Eternal Love. these also have a lot of meaning, grant and i always say i love you tons, 2 tons, infinite tons. and well infinite and eternal have pretty much the same meaning so i got that. also it means to me eternal love, forever, showing the love i have is eternal (forever) when i give out my love i give it whole hearted and know that no matter what or where i am that love will go on forever, even after i am gone. so yeah those are my tattoos. i don't know when i will get more i know i probably will, like i said in memory of passed loved ones, but until that time comes i am happy with what i have. Jeez sorry i didn't know i was gonna even talk about that today, but just a little more info on me i guess!
Have a beautiful day!
