TAt's CrAzY

Kenz and I have been friend's since like sixth grade,  we met at Orem Elementary then went to different junior highs and in high school we hooked up again.  After tenth grade we "broke up" and didn't hang out again till a few years ago.  It's funny how God will put someone into your life when he knows that you need them.  When we didn't hang out, I missed her.  She is such a fun little shit!  With her you know that you will have lots of laughs and maybe even get into a fight :)  Kidding, that was back in high school...no more fights...O wait, other than when we were at the Holy Cow boutique and some girl decided to throw Kenz some attitude.  I hear behind me "Your daughter doesn't have to be such a bitch" I look over and Kenz is ready to throw down with some chick and her mom, Ahahah!!  Kenz and I were 8 months and like 6 months pregnant mind you AND had our baby girls with us.  I just thought, "O no, here we go!"  I got the same warm feeling in my stomach that I would get in high school when big Tongan girls or just a bunch of white girls would wanna kick our asses.  See, Kenz can back it up.  Me, I'm a freakin chicken.  I could always talk crap in the comfort of my own car that I could just drive away in.  Anyway, the point of this story is you never really know what your gonna get when you are with her!  
She and her little family are moving away for 6 MONTHS!!!  So sad!  So Kenz wanted to do a girls day just her and I before she leaves.
She came and picked me up and we just started drivin.  We hadn't made any plans, just flyin by the seat of our pants for the day.  We went and got Chai's then went to Qunicy's boutique.  After the boutique she said "Where to now?"  I threw out some ideas...movie, more shopping, go and get a tattoo!!!  She said "Let's go get a tattoo!"  "Really?!...okay!!"  When I mentioned tattoo's I didn't really think we would actually go and do it.
She drove us to Lost Art in SLC, we walked in and the receptionist informed us that we needed an appointment.  Duh, why didn't we call before?  We walked back to the car and called Big Deluxe, they took appointments first come first serve.  Off we went!  Big Deluxe got us right in!  We told the girl what we wanted and she drew them up for us.  I wasn't nervous until I got in the tattoo chair.  All I could think was, "what if this chick sucks at tattooing?"  So, I ask her, "how long have you been tattooing for?"  Thinking that her reply would be like fifteen years or so.  She apparently looked a lot older than she was...6 years is all that she had been tattooing for. I look down at her knuckles and see what looks like a tattoo that she did herself and it wasn't very good....at all!  "Son of a!!...I should have made Kenz go first so if she sucks I can back out!!"  Kidding!!!...but really!  I started to get really nervous.  I am a "worst case scenario" type girl picturing what my foot could become.  When I am nervous, I talk alot.  I tried to strike up a conversation with Deb, the tattoo artist but she wasn't really having it.  Looked at Kenz and she is giving me the "shut up, Jenn"  look.  It took like an hour for Deb to finish both of us and by the end of Kenz's tattoo I think we had won Deb over...at the end we were all talking, laughin, throwin down the F-word, I really think that the F word maybe is what bonded us, Deb's gangsta, for sure!

I loved how they turned out!  Kenz got a T and a V, for Tevita (her hubs) and V for Vea and Viv (her babes).  I got three little birds representing my little family of course and the three little birds in Bob Marley's song "Every little thing is gonna be alright"  Whenever I am having anxiety, I turn on Bob and that song just calms my soul, as cheesy and crazy as it sound that song has got me through some of my hardest times!  So I am hoping that when I am feeling anxious about something I can look down and know that EvErY LitTlE ThiNg iS GonNa Be AlRighT!! 

Loved this day!
