Tattoo Removal (graphic)

Sorry, the picture is graphic! It was taken the day after I had my third tattoo removal treatment. For those of you who are curious, it costs about $200 per treatment, and, after 4 treatments, you can still see my tattoo. It's definitely fading and the black lines are gone in some spots, but it has a ways to go for sure (they say it can take from 2 to 16 treatments). I'm done with my treatments for now (put on hold due to $$ and the wedding), but will probably start again sometime in the future. I'm going to find a different place though, as I don't have that much confidence in the place I was going.

Belated update

So, this is long overdue... All the pressure from family has finally driven me to update my blog :)

I am less than one week away from marrying Ryan and I couldn't be happier. We're hoping for at least 65 years together and I can't wait for our big day (which is this Saturday)! We have had so many friends and family supporting us and showering us with love that I feel like I could burst.

We're having the ceremony at the Chapel of the Centurion at Fort Monroe (http://www.monroe.army.mil/Monroe/sites/installation/religious.aspx),

and the reception is at the Omni Newport News Hotel. (http://www.omnihotels.com/FindAHotel/NewportNews/WeddingsAndBanquets.aspx)

Then, we'll be whisked away to Miami to start our 7 day honeymoon on a cruise to the Western Carribbean!

I'm very excited as I got my first choice for all the wedding stuff, especially the photographer!: http://www.nicholegiffordphotography.com/

Well, I have much more posting to do... I will try to squeeze a few more in before the wedding if I get a chance.

Much love,
