Connections are important. I am only as good as the people I choose to surround myself with.

Every Texas visit is such a different kind of eye opener for me. I learn more about those in my life and so much about myself. I feel really good about this past visit, and I realized it is because Christian I have some amazing people in our lives.

One time I heard this guy called himself a “2 time loser” but I know better than that.

Where do you start when you’ve known someone during the bad and the good? Even during the bad this man kept me laughing like no other. All those memorable nights around fires. That one time I lit a cigarette backwards (don’t ask). One of the first people to get to the hospital after the birth of the boy. Christian has said he’s one of the best persons he’s ever met and happy I brought him into his life. He’s one of those who is hard on the outside but a big ol softy once you really get to know him.

I get to call this man my friend. My ridiculously talented friend, at that. An artist. The husband and I have officially dubbed him our tattoo artist for always. Watching him work is absolutely captivating. Nothing better than having these crazy long drawn out sessions because we can’t stop laughing. Or he’s laughing at me as his wife videos my random fits of pain. Good times all around.

Don’t worry he’s more than just a skilled artist he’s also super cool cause he has the biggest pole Christian and I have ever seen in person.

Yes. That’s what she said.
