....Inked....

Stephanie finally got the tattoo that she has been wanting forever..

She made her way to "White Lotus" downtown this afternoon and I met her there because she needed "parental consent".

I did it for her sister when she graduated so it is only fair that I do it for her. She had thought about it for a long time and understood that it is for life so I had no problem signing for it.


She had always wanted one the side of her foot and it is probably one of the most painful places on your body to get a tattoo.

We tried and tried to get her change her mind as to where she would put it but would she would not budge....not a chance...that is what she wanted and nothing was going to change her mind.

Even the guy who did her tattoo was quite amazed by her choice and the bonus thing is that it only took about 20 minutes or so to do..which was awesome and he did an great job...


She wants another on her other foot and thought sometime in September would be a good time and she asked if I would get mine done with her..how cool is that?

I think that I will get the same fellow do mine that did Stephanie's today..he also did one of Amanda's.


I still have to tweak the design that I want so that gives me more than enough time.






































































I think that I am going crazy...seriously I really do-


Last night about 9:45,I had this thought to check my camera bag for the attachment for my tripod (the one that you attach to the bottom of the camera. Was it there- nope...

Couldn't find that and then I couldn't find my remote for my my camera.

When I can't find something I have to keep looking for it until I find it.

The last time I saw either was the night when Steph graduated and haven't seen them since and I am making myself crazy trying to find them.

I know that they will turn up eventually but I want them now-not that I need them right now but I will feel better once they are back where they belong but until then I will continue to look for them..

She Did It....

Stephanie got her exams done and over with and today was judgement day-off we went to school and she got all her credits she needed to graduate-yipppeee!!!!!




















It has been a long road full of potholes and detours but it all worked out. Now it is time to celebrate a job well done.


When we got home from school she got her graduations gifts which included a brand new Dell laptop from her father and I. She got some awesome accessories for it from her sister and money from her grandparents. She also got some special gifts from Wade and I.



I made her "The Graduate" from Sue Hillis

























Her Dad did something that I had never thought of..he ran around town taking photos of every school she had ever been to and arranged them in a frame for her to keep.
























Then it was time to get ready for the Prom- I didn't think it would ever come and not a minute too soon:)



Her best friend Talisha came over and they went together.



Talk about a whirl wind..


I just stepped out of the way and let it fly. I hope she has a good time..


I am sure there will be lots of stories to share...here are some photos I thought I would share.

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year Again....




Yep...it is that time again...exams-oh yay:)

Steph is in the middle of her last set of high school exams and I know she will be so glad when they are done.She wants them over with because her prom is just around the corner and then graduation which is a week away. I can't believe it is just around the corner. Then both my "babies" will be done. Where does the time go?

To add to that I got a call from my parents last Thursday and let us know that they have finally sold their house and were coming here from Ontario to find a new house-they should be here sometime today...yikes...


Not really the best time but their house closes on the 15th of July..

What a surprise...we kind of wrote it off seeing that the house had been on the market for almost 2 years..we weren't expecting it at all.

I tried to get some time off to help them look but that isn't possible because it is such short notice. Although I did find a couple that I liked:)

It should be interesting anyway :)

I am off now to tidy up a little before work-
