Some Songs!

Hey guys! :)

My youth band at my church, as well as the band for the main services, are so amazing and talented! God really gave them a gift. I thought I might post some of my favorite songs that they sing! I hope you enjoy! :) *Songs from YouTube*

Hope you liked them! :)

Hola!

Hey guys! :) How are ya'll? What have you been up to lately?

Lately I've been busy with...

Schoolwork- so far, I think Sophomore year was harder than my junior year... but I could very well have a different opinion in just a little while. :D Anyway, I don't necessarily love the classes themselves this year, but I have two of my classes with my friends, Jacob and Candace, so I'm happy about that. :)

Chemistry and reading for literature. :)

Play Practice- Every Wednesday morning from 10:00 to 11:45 we have play practice. Our play, The Phantom Tollbooth, is next Friday and Saturday, so we've really been getting ready for that! :) I think we're all ready, we just need to practice as much as we can between now and the play. :)

Youth Group- I have youth group Wednesday nights from 6:30 to 8:00. I love my youth group so much! :) It's one of the things I look forward to during the week. :)

My awesome friend/one of my youth leaders at my church, Erin! :)

Catalyst- Every Sunday evening from 5:30 to 7:00 we have catalyst.  Which is what we call our Bible study. :) I love catalyst! :) It's so awesome! :)

A picture my friend, Emma, (not my sister! :D) took after catalyst last Sunday! :) For some reason this picture is brighter on here than on my iPod, lol! :)

So, that's what I've been up to lately! What about you? :)

Love,

Hannah

P.S. I promise I'll try and get the vlog up very soon! I'm really sorry for the delay. :(

Life Lately!

Hi guys!

How have you all been?  I've been pretty good, though I've been busy with homework, chemistry specifically (that rhymes. :D)

I will put the vlog up soon! I filmed it about a week ago, but it's too long to post in one video (think 40 minutes long), so I have to separate it into three parts, and I haven't gotten around to that yet. :( But, I will try to very soon! :)

Lately I've been:

-Doing homework
-Going on Instagram
-Reading and just finished The Iliad for my literature class
-Just started The Odyssey
-Reading Canterwood Crest for fun
-Started writing a new book
-Going to church and youth group
-Loving God, my family, and friends.
-Wanting to meet this girl in person for the second time
-And wanting to meet this girl in person for the first time
-Sad that summer is over, but also ready for fall! :)


That's what I've been up to! :)

What have you been doing lately?

Love,
Hannah

Vlog Questions!

Hey guys!

How have you been?

I've been good, busy with school mostly. :) 

So, after seeing my sister's vlog, I decided that I wanted to do one! :)  So, please ask me questions for the vlog, and I'll answer them! :) I will most likely do the vlog this Friday or Saturday, so if you could please get your questions in by Wednesday, that would be great! :)

Thanks so much! :)

Love,

Hannah 

Some Songs!

Hey guys! :)

How are you? :)

I'm doing good!

I thought I would post some songs today that I first heard at my summer camps. :) Believe me, they make you want to get up and dance! :) Chainsaw, Wobble, and Soldiers even have their own dance moves! :)  All videos are from YouTube.

Have you heard any of these songs before?  Which ones are your favorite? :)

Have a great day!

Love,

Hannah 

My Summer!

Hey guys!

How are you?  How has your summer been?  Have you started school yet?

I start school today.  So, I thought I would do a post of my summer. :)

Below is my summer bucket list, and I'm just going to go through it, and comment on each thing, and whether I did it or not. :)

Summer Bucket List:

1. Have my sweet sixteen. Check.  

Yes, I had my sweet sixteen, and it was great! :)

2. Have friend(s) over for my sweet sixteen. Check.  

I had some of my best friends over to sleepover, and that was fun! :)

Yes, I went to the one with my youth group, and also to a non church affiliated one. :) I had a lot of fun, specifically at church camp. :)

I saw these at the 4th of July. :)

6. Go to our family reunion. Check.  

I went to this! :)

7. Go to Chick Fil A at least once with my youth group.  

I didn't get to go to Chick Fil A. :( My youth group goes to Chick Fil A every Wednesday night after youth group, and I don't get to go during the school year, since I have an 8:00 AM co-op class on Thursdays.  Oh well, there's always next summer! :)

8. Make a new friend(s). Check.  

I made two new friends, Carley and Kennedy. :) I also grew closer to a lot of people, such as Ice Girl, Callie, and Erin. :) I love you girls!

Yay! :) I accomplished my goal! :)

10. Make a music video. Check.

12. Have sleepover(s). Check.  

I had one, at my sweet sixteen. :)

13. Blog at least once a week, unless I am out of town. Check.  

I think I did this. :) I may have skipped one week, but for the most part, I think I consistently blogged while I could. :)

14. Write at least two more chapters of my book. 

I didn't do this. :( I think I wrote one or one and a half chapters.  I've had a bad case of writer's block lately. :P

15. Make friendship bracelet(s). 

I didn't make any. :(

16. Guest post on someone's blog. Check. 

I guest posted on Ice Girl's blog and Sierra's blog. :)

17. Read Romans and Proverbs in my Bible. Check. 

I'm really happy that I accomplished this, although, I haven't read much in my Bible after Proverbs. :( I need to read it more often. 

18. Have at least two friends over, or go to two friend's houses. Half check. 

I had friends over for my sweet sixteen, but nothing else, besides that. :P

19. Swim a bunch. Check. 

I swam a lot in the beginning of summer, but not really much in the past month or so. :P

20. Go to Costa Rica (not sure if we are going in the summer or not, so this one depends on when we are going). We didn't end up going this summer, and I'm not sure when we are.  

21. See my youth pastor wife's new baby.

I saw my youth pastor wife and the stroller that the baby was in as I walked into church, but I didn't actually meet the baby. :(

Yes, we did this at the beginning of summer! :)

We watched them at the beginning of summer, but we sort of skipped around, and we didn't watch the first one. :) 

27. Re watch The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and The Lord of the Rings in order. 

No, we didn't get to do this. :(

28. Have a photoshoot.

My sister and I didn't get to it. :(

29. Eat at a new restaurant. 

I don't think we did, that I can remember. :)

30. Dog sit my aunt and uncle's new dachshund puppy, Buster. 

We didn't do this, but he came over a couple times with my aunt, uncle, and cousins just for the day. :)

31. Go back to school shopping with some friends. 

I didn't go with friends, but I did go with my family. :)

32. Exercise at least once a week.

This was a complete fail, lol. :P I did good at the beginning of summer, but not during the rest of the summer. :P

So, I think this summer was really good, better than last year. :) There were some hardships, but also good times. :)

Have a great day!

Love,

Hannah
