Falling behind

It has been way too long since I last posted. Life has been so very hectic and busy. Road trips, ER trips, projects, papers and homework- the usual. 
I am trying to think of new news but so far nothing too exciting.. 
I will be adding to my tattoo the day after thanksgiving- I am super excited but nervous of course. If you don't already know, I have a rib tattoo that is 3x6 "Jeremiah 2911"- I am adding a snowflake on the end of it in honor of my mom. My parents "pet names" were snowflake and teddy bear. It was how their anniversary cards were marked and even what dad had embroidered on their stockings. Every time I see a snowflake it reminds me of my mom- and our winters that we spent together as a family cuddled up by the fire. They are beautiful and extremely unique- I hold them to be her kisses from heaven now.
I am still trying to figure out what to add in honor of dad- a teddy bear is just not quite my style- but I know it will come to me eventually.
Last thanksgiving I got my nose pierced with my mom's best friend- we decided that since the holidays suck a lot.. (pardon my french) we will just try to make it fun and memorable... so we are getting our snowflake tattoos that we have wanted for a while.
