Your Opinion.....

How do you like this more permanent look? Is it too much?? Too "frilly"? I like it,but I can see where it would be a little much! :) PLEASE leave me a comment so I know!

Favorite Word

My new favorite word is "poppycock". I read it in the fourth "Left Behind" book-Apollyon. Those books are addicting!

Clouds

I was driving today and the clouds looked so beautiful! They were the kind that you feel like you could just reach out and touch....sometimes I wish I could fly up there and sit on one for awhile.....then I remember flying to Panama, and I become very thankful that God didn't give me wings to do such things. :)

Books

Reading has always been something that I enjoy.I got out of the habit a couple years ago but have recently been getting back into the habit.Even though I wasn't reading as much,I still loved to go to the library and buy books at garage sales.Just the other night,my sisters were bugging how that I "have too many books and they take up too much space."......I didn't believe this and the very thought of having to get rid of some almost made me cry! Soooo I went upstairs and counted every book I personally own.The number came out to 131! I couldn't believe it-131 books that are MINE! Very quickly I ran down stairs only to find my family watching a movie on Netflix that they didn't even want to watch, and I did (another story for some other time).I said "Mom,you will never believe this,but I counted all my books and guess how many I have!" She just looked at me and said "Hannah,that doesn't surprise me at all......and I would guess 70" "No way! said I. Mother dearest,I have 131!!" (Scratch the formalitiness) Of course,my brother and sisters looked at me like I am half crazy and that outburst of happiness only confirmed it in their minds. Now,I'm quite sure that there are many of you out there that have more books than I do,but that just made me so exited! :) 
Just as a side note-I was at a garage sale with mom the other day thinking I would find nothing...but I walked out of there with all the "Left Behind" series and  4 miscellaneous books for $3.50! I couldn't believe it! If you have read the "Left Behind" series then you will know what I'm talking about when I say that I am in utter inner turmoil because I don't know if Buck and Tsion make it out alive.Is Amanda a traitor? Do they find out that Ray is going behind their backs?! Oh,it's almost too much!
Well I'm gonna go read my book! Have a lovely evening!

New Look!

Well one of my goals this summer was to "find me"....if you know what I mean. :) I have tried several different personalities but none seem to fit me,so I started out on a journey to figure out who I was.
First of all I tried the "rough and tough cowgirl".That did not work! Now,don't get me wrong,I love my square toed Justin's, my denim skirts,big loud trucks and living in ruralness (not a word but that's ok),but I don't have the guts for animal guts and I don't particularly care for getting up early and staying up late to work on a tractor!
The second "personality" I tried was "deep thought thinking and big word using".This lasted less time than the cowgirl one! I wore myself out trying to enlarge my vocabulary and think of the deepest things to say to people! Needless to say,this wouldn't do either.
After that I almost contemplated "city girl,pink and ruffles wearing".....that didn't get past my brain though.I couldn't stand the thought of being such a girly girl that I wouldn't attempt bow hunting,yet at the same time didn't feel that I could field dress my own deer.(If you don't know what that is,just don't ask) :)
So in all this I just named my blog "Hannah's Blog",tried to think of deep things to post,spent too much time trying to capture life on our little farm and not getting anywhere!
I decided to tell you allll about myself and you tell me if I'm crazy! *big giant grin*

• I love music.....LOVE IT! There isn't much that beats playing the piano.
• My favorite colors are black,white and gray but I have a special spot for rubber ducky yellow,burnt orange and cornflower blue.
• I'm not one to go up to people and talk to them like I've known them for years,but I do enjoy meeting people.
• Often times I over analyze things and make them much more complicated than necessary.
• I have a temper.
• I don't like English class.
• I have a thing for word puzzles...and sudoku!! Oh yeah!

• I would rather sit inside and read a good book then go outside and do....something?
• I think too much about dumb things such as "Why did they decide 5280 ft would be a mile,instead of making it an even 5000?"

Now,you may think I've lost it but I promise I haven't!! I decided that if I had to use one word to describe me it would be "me". I have been saved by the precious blood of Jesus,therefore I have real joy!! Not just happiness,but joy! And I daydream quite often about college,marriage,being used of God in a great way.....etc. So this is why I decided on this title for my blog! I thought it fit me very well.Now, I will enjoy blogging so much more because I don't have to try to keep up "rough and tough cowgirl","deep thought thinking and big word using"or try to be "city girl,pink and ruffles wearing".I'm willing to stand out in a crowd and be different! God gives us each our own uniqueness and I intend to use mine! 
Joyfully,
Hannah

The Bible....It's like a mirror.This is why many people don't like it.When we look in a mirror,it often shows what we need to change.If we always looked perfect we would not need a mirror.The same is with the Bible-if we,as humans,were perfect there wouldn't be a use for the Bible.We wouldn't need a guide to show us what needs changed,what doesn't look right and how we appear in God's eyes. An earthly mirror might break and come apart but we have a promise from God that His mirror for us will never break! People all over are doing what they can to change the Bible so it fits their "standard" and so we don't have to change as much.God is the ultimate standard and He has His way marked out for us in His Word.I challenge you to do the same thing I will do for this next week....every time you look in the mirror,quote a Bible verse and thank God that His Word has been preserved for us to use today!

                                  Happy Birthday,Mom!!
                                  Tomorrow (June 5th) is mom's ???? birthday!

Kittens

 Our kittens are very,very cute! We have 6 all together.Three of them live in the barn and 3 live here at the house...under the carport....and in the house....sore subject! Mom does not like them at all so they probably won't be here much longer!

There mom died or ran away because she's gone.This means that Peyton is taking care of them.That is a full time job because they are retarded and can't take care of themselves! It has been storming alot here and they will just sit on the porch by the door like they think they should come in or something! Dumb,dumb,dumb! If you want a kitten just leave me a comment and I will send you one! I can't guarantee they will make it alive,but that would be the USPS's problem! Just kidding....

Silver Dollar City Pictures!!

  Woohoo!! I figured out my problem! The remedy is called "Use the cord that goes into your camera,not your little sister's"! Yes,I'm retarded. :) Here are some pictures of our trip......

                          Macy and Peyton on the tram headed to the park.

                                       This.....is....Powder Keg.We were smiling but we wouldn't be soon!

                   These guys were doing a skit for the train ride.They were hilarious!!

                             Thuuuuunderation! They made me go on it and I wasn't impressed!                                          

                      We are outside of the park waiting to go in!

                                               Me and the best little brother ever! Lol

So the trip was great! I found out that I don't like roller coasters (that's the nice version of the phrase).My siblings loved them,however and want to go back! I think I will just eat delicious food and drink the best stinkin' lemonade on the face of this earth!
