Hey everyone,

    Just a quick update.  Today we went to King's Dominion.  It was a lot of fun.  We spent most of the time in the water park and then we changed and went did some rides for a little while.  We left around dinner time and went to Arby's (where my brother works) to get some dinner.  Anyway, at the water park there is a wave pool.  Jumping waves is a lot of fun but also a lot of work.  While I was jumping at one point I was standing next to someone that I thought was a woman and when I looked over to discover that it was a guy with long hair I was a little freaked out and I started backing up quickly.   Well, as our trip gets closer and closer I keep getting more and more excited about it.  Please pray for my mom as she starts school next week.  Thanks!!!!  Well, Holly wants to play Clue so I'd better go now.  I'll talk to you all later.

God bless
Love,

Hey everyone,

     Well, we had a great weekend and today Holly is starting on math for the year.  On Saturday Mom, Holly and I went to the park then to the hair salon to get Mom's hair cut and then we went to the mall.  I love taking nature pictures so of course I took my camera.  I also took some at the salon and I took some shots of the sunset and the moon.  Today I officially started my Internship in Elementary Education.  Since my mom will be teaching in kindergarten for the first twelve weeks of the school year I will be teaching Holly fifth grade math.  It was pretty funny but I should keep in mind that it's the first day and Holly probably has "Beginning of the Year Jitters".  Anyway, here are the pictures.

Swings

These next two were taken by my Mom.

I love these.


I never figured out what these things are for.
But they do make for cool pictures. :D

The hair salon.

God's gorgeous sunset.
Here is a picture of the moon.  (Even though you can't really tell it's the moon.)
On the road going home.
Well, I'll talk to you all later.

Hey  everyone,

      Well, not much has been going on since I last wrote.  The ladies in our church had a get together last night.  We had a devotional and then we had food.  I got to take care of the little kids with my sister and other friends from church.  Naomi just awarded me with a wonderful award.  It's the "Sharing The Love" award. 

The rules of this award are: SHARE THE LOVE!!! Share this award with all those blogs out there that you love.  All the people who make you smile.  All those that make you laugh.  All those that make your day.  All those that leave uplifting comments on your blog.  Leave a link on your blog (like the one in my picture above, just "click".) to the blog that the link takes you to and ask the people that you awarded to do the same.  Thanks!!! :D

There is no way to award all of my friends.  All of you have been so sweet, uplifting, encouraging, and loving to me and I thank The Lord for all of you.  So, the ones I will be awarding are, my wonderful mother Wired Wisdom, my amazing grandmother The China Painter, Ashley PinkFlamingo and Katie Purple Princess.

For the rest of my wonderful friends remember that I love you all and you mean SO much to me.  Thank you SO much Naomi, I am so blessed to have a friend like you.

God bless
Love,
Hannah

Hey everyone,

   I'm sorry I didn't get to post pictures earlier but we were pretty busy yesterday.  After the adults came back from lunch we went swimming and that was a lot of fun with all the little kids.  Kids always say the silliest things.  I told Nathan that he was being cute and he said in the most adorable way "I'm Handsome" it was so funny.  Anyway, here are the pictures.

Hey everyone,

    I just stopped by to say "Hi".  Yesterday we had some new visitors.  They had four teenagers and three of them are the same age almost.  There are nine kids and they are all adopted.  They are a very sweet and cool family and they are looking for a new church (that has teenagers) so please pray that they will come to our church if it is the Lord's will.  Today we have been cleaning ever since we got except I took and lunch break and a Bible reading break and I went to Wal-Mart with mom but that's still walking around a lot.  Our family should be arriving around eight tonight so please pray for their safety here and back.  Tomorrow the adults are going out to eat so Gabe and I get to stay at home and babysit the little ones.  Well, I get to take care of them and Gabe gets to entertain them, which is cool because Gabe's way of entertainment is sit down and watch a movie.  Well, also get to eat pizza.  Well, I might write again tonight after I take some pictures but for now I'd better go so I'll talk to you all later.

God bless

Hey everyone,

    Well, we had a great last day of VBS.  I would like to thank all of you who prayed for our VBS.  Three people that I know of got saved this week and another person got assurance of salvation.  I'm not sure if there were any other decisions made or not but all the work that we put into this week was worth the decisions that were made.  Today was a day filled with water balloon throwing and pie facing.  Here are the pictures I promised you all.

Picture of all the kids and workers at the end of the week.


Balloon toss
Balloon war
Tell me who you think won.
The girls, or......
the boys.
OK, in case you couldn't figure it out the boys won.  ;D
Since Gabe's team won he gets to give Dana her pie.
Little did he know, he gets one too.
Well, I hope you all liked them.  We have family coming to visit next week so I will have more pictures for you then.  I'll talk to you all later.

God bless
Love,
Hannah

Hey everyone,

    Well, I have been pretty busy as you all know.  We have one more day which is kind of sad.  On Monday and yesterday I helped in crafts, but today they needed me to help in the middle school group and they also need my help tomorrow.  I played outside games because they needed one more person and it was pretty fun.  I didn't do too bad actually.  They also had a cookie contest.  They had a contest for the biggest cookie, the most creative cookie, the best tasting cookie and the grossest cookie.  Only one person made a gross cookie (thankfully) and it was pretty nasty (just for the record I did NOT taste it) it had tuna, coffee grounds and garlic in it. :P  Yeah, I know what you're thinking.  The rest of the cookies were very good, my friend Bethany was the one who won the best tasting contest.  Here are some pictures.

Have I ever told you that I have a dinosaur for a brother?


Craft time with the primaries.

Pre-K, I have no idea what they are doing but aren't they cute?
Teen snack time.
I took pictures of everyone's cookies.
Katlin and Dana
Erica
Bethany (She's the one that won the best tasting contest.)
I think this is the one that won the most creative.


Logan
And Micheal, this is the really nasty one.
Ok, hopefully I will get some pictures of the water balloon fight tomorrow.  I'll talk to you all later.

God bless

Hey everyone,

    Well, it's been a little haywire around here lately with getting read for VBS and everything.  today after church we had a short meeting for all the people who are working at VBS and then dad went and got Taco Bell for us (just the family) for lunch.  We spent a few hours decorating our rooms and then we went home for a few hours.  During that time I colored a big foot print for Dad and Gabe's class room, mom, dad and I went to The Dollar Store to buy cookies for a glass activity and then Dad left work and so did Gabe.  After church when we drove into the parking lot here at home Holly saw a friend of hers and wanted to invite her to VBS so she ran up stairs grabbed a bunch of fliers and passed them out to a bunch of kids that were playing outside.  A few minutes later there was a knock at the door and Holly's friend and another girl said that they wanted to come so we will be taking them to VBS with us this week.  So, please pray that God will work in their lives this weak and that they will get saved.  We are also hoping that another friend will be coming with us but we are not sure so please pray that that person will be able to come.  I will try to remember to bring my camera with me of course but I might forget so hopefully I won't if you all want to see what is going on this week.  The sanctuary looks really cool.  There are going to be two different teams, The Dinosaurs and The Detectives.  Anyway, I have to go now so I'll talk to you all later.

God bless

Hey everyone,

   Ok, quick update about the Dentist appointment.  Everything went well, they said that I wouldn't have to get my wisdom teeth pulled until I turn 17 or 18.  They also said that I didn't have any cavities which is great.  I also got to suck the water out of my mouth with a weird sucky tool.  It felt really funny though.  Everyone was very nice and guess what??? I get to go back in February.  Ok, that part isn't really all that great but oh well.  Anyway, as far as VBS is concerned I'm trying to decide whether or not I want to post an entry everyday about that day or if I just want to make a big long post at the end of the week.  So, I'm thinking about it and I will let you know when I decide.  I'll talk to you all later.

God bless
Love,
Hannah

P.S. Thank you all SO much for your prayers I truly believe it helped to not be so nervous.  I thank God for friends like you all. ;D

Hey everyone,

   Very short entry.  I have a quick prayer request.  Today at 2:30 I have a dentist appointment for a cleaning and an x-ray to see if I need my wisdom teeth pulled.  I hate the dentist and I haven't been since I was little having lived in Romania for so long.  Please pray that I will not me nervous at all and that I will NOT have to get my wisdom teeth pulled.  Thank you guys SO much, you all are great.

God bless
Love,
Hannah

Hey everyone,

    I have GREAT news.  Well,.....for me anyway.  There is a possibility that I will be going to Florida to stay with a very good friend in September.  My brother really wants to visit a friend that lives there who used to be a missionary to Romania too and my dad wants to see his parents.  Holly will stay with dad and mom can't go because she has to teach school.  :(  I will miss her very much but I am very excited and I will call her everyday.  I will try to write but I'm not sure what the possibilities of that are.  This morning we all went on visitation to pass out fliers for VBS.  It was VERY hot, I had a hard time trying to keep up with my dad in a skirt.  (I was in a skirt NOT my dad, just had to get that strait. :D)  We had some people who sounded excited about it and then there were....well, lets just say my mom and brother got a door slammed in their face.  So, please pray for all of those people.  I think Mrs Adams is going to be doing crafts with me, I'm really glad she is, I wanted her to do it.  Oh, about that poll on my side bar (for those of you who saw it.)  I'm not actually moving to MySpace, I just couldn't think of another question.  You couldn't pay me all the money in the world to go to MySpace, and for those of you who did vote, Thank you so much for voting "No".  It's so good to know I have good friends.  Anyway, I'll talk to you all later.

God bless
Love,
Hannah    
P.S. Please pray that everything will go well as far as VBS and Florida.

Hey everyone,

     I have quite a few pictures from yesterday.  Our pastor and his family came over for lunch.  They have two of the cutest kids in the whole world.  Here are some of the pictures that I took.

The Pastor and his daughter.

The Pastor's wife and daughter.  Aren't they so cute.
Meal time.


YUM!!!!
The pastor's kids and us.




I'm not sure what she's doing, but isn't she adorable?
I spent most of the time talking so that's all I have.  I'll talk to you all later.

God bless
Love,
Hannah

P.S. Please pray for my aunt, I'm not sure what's wrong but she is in the hospital again.  Thanks a lot.

Hey everyone,

     The next few weeks are going to be pretty busy.  Tomorrow our Pastor and his wife are coming over for lunch, so today we have cleaning and shopping.  Thursday we have a bridal shower for our future youth pastor's bride to be.  (Her name is Hannah. :D)  In two weeks is VBS and I am so excited about that.  I am helping in crafts except so far there is no one to help me yet so pray that someone else will do crafts too.  Instead of saying the next few weeks are going to be busy I should have said that the next few months are going to be busy.  In August one of my dad's brothers and his family are coming down for a few days.  In September we are having a missions conference, I'm very excited about that, and my mom's birthday.  In October we have friend day, my dad starts the academy and right before he leaves is my sixteenth birthday.  I love our new church, I have great new friends, everyone is very nice.  I have been to camp twice this summer and we have so many other exciting things going on.  I don't think I told ya'll but our church is a portable church.  On Sundays we meet at a Seventh Day Adventist building (and no we are not Seventh Day Adventist)  and on Wednesdays we meet at a volunteer rescue squad station.  In the fall we will start having Wednesday evening services in an elementary school.  Being a portable church is fun.  One time we did not have use of the Seventh Day building so we had church in a park and we had a church picnic.  Well, I'd better go.  Mom, Holly and I have to go to Target to get a wedding gift for the shower.  I'll talk to you all later.

God bless
Love,
Hannah

P.S. Nobody has been going to my photo blog lately so if you have time please go check it out.  Just click on the smiley. :)

Hey everyone,

   I finally figured out something to write about, but it might be boring so just hold on for now.  Yesterday, Mom, Holly and I cleaned our room and it looks great.  Today we went to Michael's and found some really cute things to decorate with, so we are going to work on that in a little while.  I'm going to show you some pictures of our clean but not yet decorated room, and when we are done decorating I will take more pictures to show you all, so here they are.

Our beds
(Mine is the one on the bottom, you can tell that I love stuffed animals. ;D)
Here is my wonderful desk where I tweak my pictures and write all my blog entries.
Holly's dresser
My dresser
We cleaned everything from Holly's EXTREMELY messy desk, to.....
......my horribly unorganized school drawer.
Well, I'm sorry but if you want to see more I have to go get working on it.  I'll talk to you all later.
Have a great weekend.

God bless

Hey everyone,

   I haven't been writing much lately because....well, because I've been kind of lazy lately.  Anyway, as some of you may know on Monday Mom, my sister and I are leaving for camp and won't be back until Friday.  Today was a great day because our church had a booth at the Hanover Tomato Festival.  Our church passed out free bottles of ice cold water and we did gospel face painting.  I did the face painting and it was a lot of fun.  Every picture that we did had the same colors and we did them in a certain order and told the gospel plan while we painted their face.  I only painted one adults face and she said that it was great that the pictures meant something and when I finished her face she kissed me on the check.  Which was kind of weird but whatever.  Gabe and dad got there earlier to put the water in coolers but they didn't stay for as long as mom, Holly and I did because they had to go to work.  Mom, Holly and I were there from about nine a.m. to nearly four p.m.  Last Sunday was a lot of fun.  We had church at a park and we had a picnic.  The greatest part was that my family and I joined the church.  :D  Oh, and I almost forgot (and I can't believe I did.)  two kids at the festival today got saved.  It was SSSOOOO cool!!!!!!!  Tomorrow night a group from Pensacola Christian College are coming to our church to sing and after church we are having a pizza party.  Well, I guess I have talked for long enough.  I'll talk to you all later.

God bless
Love,
Hannah  

P.S. My dad has some exams for the State Police Academy on Tuesday so please pray for him.  Thanks a lot!

Hey everyone,

  Well, first of all I'm going to start out with saying "I'm SO sorry I have not written in forever".  We have been busy and Gabe and I have been recovering from camp.  Guess what?!?!  Next week Holly and mom are going to camp and I get to go as a junior counselor.  I'm so excited.  I have never been a counselor before.  We will leave on Monday and I think we will be back on Friday.  Please pray for the weather because there isn't any a.c. in the cabins.  Yesterday mom, Holly, Gabe and a friend of his and I went to King's Dominion.  It was a lot of fun except for when I started feeling bad after I ate.  I don't usually eat when we go to amusement parks.  I'd better go now.  I will try to write before we leave.  I probably will though.  I'll talk to you all later.

God bless
Love,
Hannah
