Back to the 50's car show...

So tonight in the lovely downtown of Grants Pass we had our annual 50's car show. Basically the town shuts down on 6th and 7th street, our two main streets, and they just make circles for hours. It's really fun and the whole town pretty much shows up! It was my first year going and I loved it! The Bel-Air is my new dream car and I am in love! I only took a few pictures of the family. It was so fun! I love living in a small town where things like this are such big deals.
My cousin Christian and my nephew Austin.
My beautiful sister!!!!! We took some realy funny pictures on my phone. I will post soon. Oh and my tattoo is beautiful! But it is gnarly right now because of how much color he had to do in a few spots so when it heals and doesn't look quite like leprosy then I will post pics.
Loves& Blessings,

Lessons I'm learning...

Since I've turned 25 I've decided to finally become the person I want to be. Sounds crazy and a little strange huh? However, I'm totes magotes doing it! I want to be me 100% no matter what! Even if people don't like it or agree with it. I don't want to live my life based on other's opinions of me.
I'm sick of feeling like I need to apologize for the choices I've made or the ones I'm making now! For example...I have tattoos and I love them! For me it is a way to express myself and I think they are beautiful! But I always feel like I should not like them because some person chooses to make a comment like, "Why did you do that to yourself?" or "You know that doesn't come off right?" Really? It doesn't!? I'm in totes shock! Duh I know that!!! It never fails anytime a rude comment like that is made about me or even to me, I allow it to have an affect on me! Why? Why should I care what anyone thinks of me? It's so rediculous! Right?!!
I'm proud of who I am and the choices I make! If getting a tattoo is the "worst" thing I can do then life is pretty gosh darn good. I love who I am and I'm so over apologizing for being who God created me to be!
Yeah, I think differently then some people and I dress boldly! But that's me being true to myself! True to who God created me to be! I know that He has given me the attitude and personality I have because there are people that I can reach! Just like God created my Besties who think and dress differently from me and it's so they can reach people! Why do we judge people for not being like us instead of celebrating all the wonderful and beautiful differences we have!? Why? Why?
Doesn't it all seem stupid and a waste of time?! I'd rather enjoy my life and laugh! I want to surround myself with people I love and who love me. To laugh more than I already do! To love people and tell them so! I only have one shot at this life and I want to live it to the fullest! Not how others think I should live, but how God has asked me to live and how He wants me to!
So YAY life! YAY family and friends! And most important YAY God who loves me unconditionally and delights in me and who I cannot imagine my life without!!!!!
Loves& Blessings,
K

Boys Like Girls & The Swell Season...

I'm not a huge concert goer but I do enjoy a good show now and then. In the past week I've gone to 2 shows! I went with my friend Rachel and her sister and her sister's bestie to Boys Like Girls. They were pretty good! I didn't know any of their songs but it was fun people watching and seeing the same outfit on every girl there! haha! Loved it!!!

The lead singer was a cutie and I'm goo when it comes to guys with tattoos!
Rachel and I were pretty excited to be there!!!
I also went to The Swell Season at Britt with my friend Jolie! It was the bestest birthday gift ever!!! They are an amazing band and if you ever get the chance to see them do! I also got to meet Chelsea of Seablanket.com, a blog I LOVE and that was so exciting for me seeing as I live in GP and it's not often that I meet the people of the few blogs I do read!!!
I recently saw Court Yard Hounds too and they were really good! I think the next concert I really want to see is Lady Gaga just for the pure insanity that she is, you know it would be an entertaining show!
What concert do you really want to see?
Loves& Blessings,

Two of my favorite people...

My older sister April is in town for the weekend and I am so excited!!! I miss her so much! It's been a non-stop laughfest since she came and I am so thankful that she's here!
My precious nephew Austin, my brothers son, is with us for 2 weeks!!! He's 4 now and he just keeps getting bigger and bigger and he is such a ham! At dinner tonight he looked at my sister and said, "Your creeping me out!" We died laughing! I really do wonder how I will ever love my own children because he is the most wonderful, special and cutest kid on planet earth...excuse the gushing! I love him so much and am proud to share a birthday with the booger!

Last night my friend Rachel and I went to a concert, which I will post in the next few days!Tomarrow Willma and I will be floating down the river...yet again! So much fun and it's FREE!

My hair...

has been Blue...
Blonde with blue...
Bleach Blonde...
Black...
and Reddish/Brown.
In just 20 days I will be moving to Independence, Oregon! I am sooo excited I could burst open and confetti would cover the streets of this small town! In processing the fact that I have only 20 days I've realized I have the fun task of determining who I want to be! Which means I can do whatever I want to my hair and no one will know that it hasn't been that way for years! Unless they look at my Facebook...but anywho! Not only hair but who I want people to see me as! I can be a new person! The freedom in letting go of the past and moving on to a new and shiny and bright future is scary yet so exciting! I'm still processing what this will look like and what things I might want to change! However I will always be 100% myself because, well, I don't know how not to be! So cheers to new things and fun changes!!!
NOW which hair color do I want?
Have you ever moved and decided to change something about you or your lifestyle?
