Hailey- i am so SO excited about all of our first posts this week! TATTOO FRIDAY! I get giddy even saying it. Well, I want a tattoo really badly, I want something small on my arm/wrist and something on my fingers AND my foot. Haha! I want a simple tattoo on my foot and something more detailed on my arm or wrist. You can check my Pinterest if you want to see some pictures of what I would like. :)
Sarah- Well I really want a tattoo of something really simple, like a Bible verse or something on my wrist or even the word 'love' written really pretty on my wrist. I also want something simple but really cute and simple on my foot. I am getting quite distracted to my playlist on my personal blog right now... "Slide" is playing. Oooo! I just had the cutest idea: Right this second I thought of it, I want a really cute cartoon version of all of us on the back of my neck! But not quite the back of my neck more like right below my neck - the highest part of my back? I'm not sure if that's the right words or not, but oh well! I, as well, am really excited about this blog! Enjoy!
