Warmth has returned

The warmth has returned to this corner of the world. 
There isn't any green yet, but i can feel it coming!
The tress have no buds, but yet as the trees sway to the wind, i can tell the buds are coming. 

The bitter winds have died down and the now they are more like a wonderful warm breeze that sings 
"Spring is here... and summer is soon to follow."

My small town is a buzz with tourist as all the small shop reopen with the coming of spring. 
Even the ice cream shop has opened, which makes my heart happy. 

This afternoon i visited my towns coffee shop and for the first time in months, i ordered a frappe with out the Batista giving me a funny smirk. 

I can not tell you in so many words how happy I'm am to roll down my car windows, turn up my music, drink my caramel frappe and drive with no destination. I think it's pretty much lifted my spirits completely. And guys, To run around barefoot again (Best thing ever.)

I'm working on my summer bucket list and i'm also working on a summer playlist. Oh, how i long for summer. But i shall be content with spring for now. 

Winter is gone. 
And my soul is rejoicing.

I love winter and all its raw beauty. 
But, it's time for spring. time for rejoicing. 

Love,
Hannah <3 

My life lately

Hello, Lovelies! 
Gosh, golly. Has it really been a month since my last blog post? Golly, time sure does fly by...

Well, I don't really know where to start, But I'll just get y'all up to date on a few of my wee adventures and such. 

Late February Sarah (My sis) and i flew to Charlotte North Carolina to visit our sister Rachel at collage. Ah, What a wonderful time. So many wonderful memories were had and so many friendships were made and renewed. I so enjoyed being with my sister and being apart of her world. Meeting her friends, going where she goes and simply being with her. she is a gem. 

Love all these pictures and the memories and people that go with them...
Trips like this are ones i hardly want to end. But like all other good things, it too ended. 
But, what a wonderful time it was!

Onward...

Next i was off after only 3 days of being home to Missouri to visit my kindred spirit Mich, Aka. Michaela. She is such a doll.  i loved the time we had together that week. i loved our dance party in the night outside, our snicking out to the roof to talk. One day we shall laugh at our late night convos about "Does he like me or doesn't he?" 

I'm so glad i could be there as you got your license and started your job. I'm very proud of you. 

This girl gets me. she one of those people that you are on the same wavelength with. she just gets me. Sure, we've gone though some hard times, but it's the hard time that have grown us together. I love her. Our time together was dear to my heart. We are the prefect mix of funny and serious. Inmature and mature. Awesome and crazy. no one will ever fully get us like we do. 

I can't wait till you and i can be Mich and Sahannah again soon.


Next...


3 days after my time with mich, Spring break happened. ;) sorry, i had to make that dramatic. 
Rachel came home and bought with her, Kassidy and Sergio. (Her friends from collage) 
ah, what a good time was had. 
It was a great 9 days. There are those few people that you click with, that you can be "you" with. And i felt that way about them. Kassidy is amazing, she's sassy, kind, funny, she makes great coffee and i could go on and on. she has one of those deep souls. and i admire that... and Sergio. he's great. I don't think most guys would do half the stuff we had him do those 9 days! 

No one else will ever understand half the jokes we made. 
And they probs wouldn't want to. 

Ga-sodom
Sodom 
Sid
Everyone

Black juice 
Sassidy
Beyonce's Brother 
I can't deal
Get this 
ect...

Haha, We be funny. ;) 

Geez, I miss these people (Sorry, I'm having separation loss probs.) 
I think i might go downed my sorrows in some coffee. ;)

But I'm sure i shall see them again soon. 
I'm so grateful to God for bringing them all into my life.   

Well, that it for my life right now, I hope i shall be blogging more now that i have some time to spare. 

Keeps Smiling.

Love,
Hannah <3

Florida

 
I think the waves of the ocean upon your feet were made to calm the soul and inspire the heart.

The wind was made to free your hair and make you wild and free like you long to always be.

The suns reminds us to be happy

The moon reminds us to remain happy, even when the sun is gone

Sunsets in a deep blue sky are to remind us of the hidden beauty of this fallen world.

Broken sea shells hidden beneath the sand remind you of the broken hidden things that you hide 

and those small words on your wall remind you that they can be fix.

And Florida is to remind us that even in winter, we can have summer.

Love, Hannah <3

frozen sky

 “Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home.” ― Edith Sitwell

Everything is ever so frozen. 
Not just the ice and snow, but the air and everything in it.
When you look at the silver moon as it glisten and shines like crystals, it almost seem like the sky has frozen into ice and in that moment even time seems to have frozen, 
every second blurring into one. 

Even with the bitter cold, There is something magical about this season. 
It's like the world slows down and hibernates. It's a time of reflection, renewal and slowing down.

It's the time of year to...
Grab a book and hide under a quilt,
Make hot coco and watch an old period drama (*Cough* Pride and Prejudice *Cough*) 
Have long phone calls with dear friends,
Look at old pictures and watch home videos,
Just eat (Can i get an AMEN?)
Dream of my upcoming trip to Florida and NC, 
Cuddle with a friend,
Have quite time with God and work though some hard things,
Get coffee with a friend and talk, heart to heart,
Write a letter,
Listen to lovely music,that touches the soul,
And to just sit and think.
   
I know that winter can get you down, but remember, Every season comes to an end and this winter soon to shall pass, so enjoy it and put your daydreams of spring in the back of your heart for a few small moments. 
And remember: Don't spend winter, waiting for spring. 

Love,
Hannah <3

Newport City//Song

Newport city, Swinging lights. 
Swinging low and swinging high. 
Jet black nights, Dark blue eyes.
They make it easy to hide whats inside. 

Grab your lamp, love and your memories,
Because when we leave this place,
It will be forever. 
And life's to short now to spend a stray.
So I'm getting out of here.
Lets get out of Newport city.

Shattered windows line the street,
They tell a story of heartache and grief.  
You breath in lightly to hide to pain,
But I see right thought you,
So its all in vain. 

Grab your lamp, love and your memories,
Because soon this place will all be forgotten. 
and I see the pain hiding beneath your past,
So lets get out of here. 
Lets get of of Newport city. 

Oh, lets leave this place far behind, 
because I feel it getting dark inside.
And, They say that love is blind,
But all I see is Newport city...

Thanks, 2013.

Wow, Goodness. Is this really goodbye to 2013? You've been crazy. And that's being mild.

At the beginning of this year I don't think I could have imagined how much would happen or change.
Or how much I would change. This year has be about me finding all about um, well. Me.

Change doesn't scare me anymore// I heal slowly// I'm too hard on myself// I'm a introvert and extrovert// People's words and actions do mean too much to me// I'm a perfectionist, but I'm learning to deal with it// I'm not shy anymore// I will stand up for myself// I'm very sensitive// I'm scared of relationships// I'm blunt// I'm forgiven// I'm not the girl I was last year at this time// I'm not sure what I'm going to do with my life yet and that's OK//

This year was also about Adventure and first times...

I traveled to Prince Edward Island// Danced in front of thousands of people on stage// Got asked out for the first "real" time// Traveled to the UK// Hosted two civil war balls// Went to NC for my sister's graduation// Went to my first prom// Joined choir// Road tripped to Kentucky// Was in drama club// I got my drivers license//

This year has also shown me God in a new way. God has shown me so much this year...

I've learned to give my fears to The Lord// My lord when never forsake me or forget me// He's got my back// His love is utterly amazing// Saving grace and changing grace// I would be so lost without God// God's burden for the lost is heart breaking//God has been showing me how to love and to love undying// Prayer can change anything and everything// 

If i was going to give this year a name i would call it //the year of grace and love//  

This year has be strange and exciting! 

So much amazing stuff has happened this year, I'm totally stoked to see what Gods going to do in my life this coming 2014. 

Thanks, 2013 for changing me and preparing me for what 2014 has in store for me.

Later, 2013.

Love,

Hannah <3

//p.s. I hope y'all have a wonderful new years eve and a happy new years!//
