mirror mirror on the wall, who is the BRAVEST of them all....I AM!

HISTORY.... When I was 19 I pierced my ears for the FIRST time. I know, I was WAYYY old, but my mom is NOT a fan of ear piercing, so I just never got it done when I was younger. At the time I was on the Ballroom team at UVSC and I felt like it would be better to have pierced ears for ballroom dancing purposes, so I went with my best friend Brook and took the plunge. It hurt. I cried (yes for real). Three months later, they were infected and grew in. I never re pierced them. End of story... until now.
Sienna got her ears pierced back in November for her birthday and I was tempted to re-pierce them then, but with Chris' job in upheaval I resisted.
A few weeks ago I told my two friends Amy and Kristin that I wanted to get them re-pierced, they JUMPED on it and we planned our night out with a trip to Sizzler for dinner and then to the mall. Here are some pictures from the crazy event. Oh so nervous!


Picking out my studs, they had to be perfect since they will be in my ears for the next six months.

This was right BEFORE.... having second thoughts.....oh so scary!

I insisted that two girls pierce them at the same time...what a chicken. Right before she pierced them I asked "what happens if the earring gets stuck in the gun thingy" the girls said it won't get stuck...well guess what?! Yep, it got stuck! This was me screaming "it's stuck...get it off!" The girl actually told me to stop making such a ruckus!
Looking at my freshly pierced ears for the first time!
After the tears had been wiped away....a happy girl! LOL
Bravery at it's finest!!!!
