It has been a long time since I have blogged, and a lot has happened since then. Things have been kinda crazy here the last month. Still trying to get our house on the market, which has been pretty stressful. I have to have my room clean and organized by tomorrow, which here are some pictures of it right now....it's not to clean lol.

Sad thing is...this is after I did all my laundry lol. I have a bunch of sheets I need to wash, and I need to get rid of a bunch of stuff, and organize my crap. So that will be an all day thing, I should be working on it as I type this, but I figure 30 minutes wont hurt anything.
We redid the kitchen last weekend, looks really nice! Just need to put in the microwave above the stove and it's done.

School, work, babysitting, and trying to stay out of the house as much as possible has kept me really busy this last month. It's pretty crazy how much stuff I have been doing. God's been teaching me to rely on him a lot these last few weeks. Our new pastor that I love so much resigned a few weeks ago for reasons I cant really talk about, but I was very sad to see him go, and miss him and his family dearly! They were some of my favorite people I have ever met, and I hope to get together with Rana soon.

I got to go to the switchfoot concert here in St Louis this last Monday, I wish I had my pictures on my computer to show you how close we were to the stage, but I cant seem to find my camera cord (no surprise there if you look at those pictures of my room). The tickets were my brithday present, which was awesome! I got to go with my brother's fiance, and we had a blast. If we were about 4 feet closer to the stage we could have touched Jon Foreman from Switchfoot which would have been awesome! lol. We waited around the bands bus for a while after the show to try to meet them, but it got late and we had to head out because Ellen (my brother's fiance) had class the next morning, and I had choir. I was hoping to get to meet them and be able to tell Drew Shirley (their lead guitarist) that I met his parents and brother this summer in San Diego when I worked at his dad's church. And that I got to see them play at their Bro-Am this summer at Moonlight Beach (awesome beach!!). Here is a picture of them playing at the Switchfoot Bro-Am

 

 Switchfoot Bro-Am was the best concert I have ever seen, until I saw them Monday, and they totally outdid themselves. The security at The Pageant made me mad, but it's okay, Switchfoot made up for it :)

I was planning on going to Texas this weekend for Planet Wisdom with my youth group, but it sold out before my youth pastor was able to get tickets, so I wasnt able to go. Which really bummed me out because my friend Amy was planning on meeting us there (she lived about an hour from Dallas) and go to the conference that weekend with us.

So....before I started writing this I had a lot of intelligent thoughts I was going to write about what God had been teaching me, the struggles I've been dealing with lately, and as I started writing...I completely forgot everything I was going to write lol. I need to go clean my room...but hopefully there will be another blog soon and will actually have thoughts about what God is teaching me. Cause it is a lot! I'll update on monday or tuesday or maybe wednesday or thursday. Sometime next week I will update again. Remember, I pray for everyone who reads this. If you're going through a rough time, comment, tell me whats going on, and how I can pray for you, and I will.

In Christ,
Hannah
