Visitors

Last week we had a few guests, well actually Logan did but it was nice that they wanted to hang out with us a little bit as well.

First to arrive was Phillip's aunt Kathy. As soon as she pulled up Logan was in her arms. It was so fun having Kathy up here. I know Phillip and I sure had fun hanging out with her. She not only kept us all company, but she fed us as well. Almost right away she got started making her yummy fudge, and her most delicious sugared walnuts!!!! Yummy, my mouth just waters thinking about them. The best part is she taught me how to make them as well. So of course Phillip and I came home Sunday night and made a batch, which sadly is already gone.

Also while Kathy was out here we went with her and Patti to Ikea, which is just the best store in the whole wide world. I'm so glad they finally built one up here. It is so nice to go into a furniture store find something I like and know that I could afford it! After Ikea we had Lunch and next to the restaurant there happened to be a tattoo parlor.

Well, Kathy and Patti both made the mistake of saying that they would both like to get a tattoo and that it would be fun to do it together, they said this all in front of Phillip. From that point on Phillip made it his mission to "help them DECIDE that they should get a tattoo." Pretty much this week I learned that Phillip was that peer pressure guy in high school. It was really funny because they both wanted to do it and Phillip was happy to be that little nudge in the "right" direction.

The next day he drove his mom and aunt to a few tattoo parlors to help them "decide" what to do and a place they felt comfortable doing it at. We walked into a couple that just didn't feel right. Then as soon as we walked into the third one, we knew if they were going to go through with it, it was going to happen there. This was the only place that looked cozy, they had their reception area set up like a living room unlike all the other places.

After about an hour's deliberation and Phillip's support they decided to go through with it. The best part was watching them decide what to get. They both knew what they wanted but not an exact image. Kathy was torn between a shamrock, African violet, and Woodstock. Every time she saw a picture of something she liked it made that decision a little bit harder. Finally she decided on a couple shamrocks. Patti was a little more sure about what she wanted, but not exactly sure where to put it. There was a scary moment when she almost backed out because they wouldn't let her put it where she wanted it, but no worries. Phillip was there to help her figure out a new place to put it. She decided on a butterfly just above the ankle bone. 

To commemorate  their tattoo experience and to thank Phillip, Logan, and me for moral support (;0) Patti and Kathy presented us with a little green friend christened TATTOO, he way cool and has little shamrock tattoos to match Aunt Kathy's.

Later in the week a couple of other visitors showed up to spend some quality time with Logan, Phillip's cousin Joey and his girlfriend Christina. It was exciting because it was our first time meeting Christina (we were also excited to see Joey). She is really sweet, and her a Joey make such a great couple. We had a lot of fun hanging out with them and hopefully they can come visit soon. Maybe next time they come up we can go visit Dawson's Creek, A.K.A Wilmington, NC (Christina like me is a Dawson's creek fan).

It was really nice being able to see everybody. In couple weeks we'll have a couple more visitors and hopefully soon enough Logan will get to meet his Aunt Kerry, we hear she is just dying to see him.
