WOWOWOW - Thanks guys so much!
My blog is a little over the top - I tend to be a drama-queen thought and I really just wanted people to know what was going thru my head @ the time. It was such an incredible moment for me. As I said, alot of it was because my sister and brother-in-law were there and she and I have had a rocky past so it meant so much. The experience meant so much. I tear up just thinking about it.
I love the tattoo - even though a few people I've shown it to don't and are saying it looks like the Citibank logo - which it actually does since its a 'ciii' - but those last three 'i' - really meant something to me so I'm glad they stick out.
THANK YOU everyone for such wonderful support and advice. I was a freak I was so scared going into it and hearing from everyone here that had done a Century and their experiences really helped calm me down. THANK YOU!!!
