Tatt Weekend

The Tattoo Trio, Mesa, Tony, & Ashley
A for Ashley Anne (Azar in the future)
II.XVI.MM for February 16, 2000 when Mesa and Tony started dating.

So, Bob and I have been missing home for a while, (Bob especially) and we were treated this weekend to some great friend time. Our friends Mesa and Tony made the long drive from Maplewood down to Omaha. They arrived on Friday evening and we were so excited to see them. Both Bob and I have been waiting to ask them to be our Maid of Honor and Best Man and they both accepted so we were very excited. We went out to dinner at Stokes in the Old Market, the food was great, the company even better. It ended up that Friday evening was an early one as we all fell asleep watching the Office.

Saturday we woke up got some Bagels and Coffee and planned out the day. We were trying to think of something to do and Tony said we should get Tattoos. So we looked around and found the place to go. Went to get some lunch and made appointments that evening for Tony and I to get our Tattoos. Mesa was getting a little nervous and didn't know if she was going to get one or not. We shopped a bit at Village Point (the outdoor mall) and back to get the tatts. Mesa decided that she was going to get one two and so the three of us got inked. We were so nervous and excited and we are all very happy with the decisions. Bob just sat and watched as we all made these choices permanent. Out to eat again at the Dundee Dell to celebrate our tattoos and then back to our house for some champagne that they had got for us for the engagement celebration. The boys smoked some cigars and then we all enjoyed some catch phrase.

We are so lucky to have some great friends and we were so happy they came to Omaha to visit. We can't wait to move back to be closer to Mesa and Tony but for now our new tattoos will have to keep us close.
