henna tats

oh yeah buddy i got one! i have wanted to get one for a long time, but today FINALLY kels and i called a name on a card we got at the anthropology museum and asked her about getting some tats on us. we showed up at her beautiful home and i felt we were in fairy land! an old brick house with huge trees and vines and herbs growing around. she herself was beautiful in a very naturistic way with long curly hair and three dreads with beads in them and long dark eyelashes. we talked and looked at different designs while her year old daughter told us what was pretty and what she liked. they were very invigorating people. i asked the little girl what her favorite color was and she said "i like of the colors" with a questioning look. i later asked her what her favorite animal was, and again she "liked them all". she also went on to tell us about three different things she was going to be when she grew up and continuously talked. the woman said to us, there is your birth control right there. she never stops, you won't want to do that thing for a long time now. get your careers first. she also told us not to be anxious to be married because the longer you're married the more comes out. wooo. but really she was a wonderful person. she was exotic and herself. she is an artist and graduated from utah state with an art major. she just does henna on the side because people like it and encouraged her to do it. i enjoyed being with the people. they were so different from myself. i make decisions and i have favorites and i clean. it was an eye opener in a good and bad way. overall i loved it. i now have a chinese symbol on my arm that means eternity and a peacock on my foot. i adore them.

happy veterans day

and pray for the wolfkiel and leavitt family--- they have been in my thoughts and prayers all day.

have a blessed day
