Happy New Year

2008's been a busy year for me.

• I turned 16
• I got my permit
• My Parents decided to try to adopt
• I went to Pensacola Christian College's Art Camp
• I saw the ocean
• I went to Sagmount for the first time
• I let God lead me to work towards missions
• I went back to work at the fireworks stand I had swore I'd never return to.
• I got my first real job (at QT)
• I got my liscence
• I took my ACT for the first (and only) time.
• My Grandma came for a visit
• We got to foster.

Wow, a lot has happened...

Went to church tonight, watched Fireproof, absolutely fantastic movie. We hung out for a litte while then came home

My sibs and g-ma are all sick, hoping it's just a quick little bug, and that the rest of us don't get whatever they have.

I'm absolutely loving playing the part of big sister to a baby, not used to that. : )

I'm playing with facebook, typing this, and watching Arsenic and Old Lace, trying to stay awake 'till midnight. : )

Curious to see what next year brings.

Whatever God wants to send I suppose :)

Alrighty, I'm off; I might update the other blog, idk.

Night all.

Happy new year!

Christmas is over...:( New years is soon though! :D

Hi everybody! what's up? How was your Christmas?
Mine was fantastic, We had a Christmas Eve service at our church. Me and my sibs all played the piano. Abbi and Esther both did very well...I totally slaughtered my song, but it was entirely my fault.
I was paying attention to the crowd and not my song. Completely destroying my song helped me pay attention to what I was focusing on.
So, I'm better off having messed up and embarrassed myself, than having done well. Thank you Lord!

The rest of the evening we played with the one gift we were allowed to open...Mario Kart! WAAAAAAY fun! Then we watched "White Christmas" and "A Muppet Christmas Carol" Then I sneaked off to my bedroom because I kept waking up camped out on the floor. (My sisters totally got on me about that)

Christmas day was fun, my sisters let us all sleep in until 7...:)
We read Luke 2, then opened presents.
I got Chris Tomlin Music *yes* and some other stuff, like awesome Eeyore pants!...My parents opened THE present, the one I have been SOOOO excited about.

We went to Sears Portrait Studio and got our pictures taken together, it was cool, and my parents Loved it! Way cool.

The rest of our family (G-ma Smith, Uncle Chris, Aunt Barb, Rachel & Maggie) showed up by 12:30 when we opened more gifts.

It was a good time... a looong day.

Friday, Mom and I picked up G-ma Sharky from the airport, and she's been hanging out with us.
That night Dad took me to go see "Bedtime Stories" (wait for the dollar show, it's nowhere near as good as "Night in the Mueseum".)
That night I also got a facebook account, which is confusing but fun.

Saturday was work, I got register time and am getting a little quicker. I work tomorrow at 4 and then am off until saturday!

Wed. Night is new years eve, going to church to watch "Fireproof" and hang out 'till midnight.
Thursday is my birthday! gonna be 17 It's exciting kinda...I mean...it's cool to have another birthday but I think 18 will be really exciting. : )


That's really all I got for now...I'll probably write more this week (which I have off! Sweet!)

Alrighty, write to ya later!

"Excuse me but...Where exactly was this in the job description...?"

Merry Christmas Everybody!!!

Okay, for an update...hmmm....

First off Work. When the job description said "cleaning restrooms" this was not exactly what I was expecting.
I was working a shift from noon to 6 on Saturday, it was about oh, 4:30, when a gentleman said
"You may want to check the men's restroom when you get a chance, it's pretty nasty."
I hopped down from the checkstand to go clean it. You could smell it out in the hallway, but I didn't think anything of it. (The men's room smells bad often)
Expecting some trash all over the floor (for some reason people don't like to take the extra half step to throw things IN the trash can...: )
Putting on my gloves and grabbing some cleaning spray, I opened the door, and most certainly did not see TRASH all over the floor.
And of course, guess who's shift ended soonest...Well I'll spare you the details but they let me go home a half hour early to go get a shower, and they said when the two guys on the next shift got there they would clean the rest of it.
That is my most recent experience at quik trip.

But on to better things...

CHRISTMAS IS TOMORROW! (16 hrs, 21 min, 5 sec away)

I am SOOO ready.
Tonight is the Christmas Eve service. Abbi, Esther and I will be playing the piano, so that will be fun.
The service is only supposed to last for an hour...:) we'll see....

My Grandma will be here the day after Christmas
I'll be 17 the week after, so this is an exciting time!
So today, I will be doing two school videos & homework and then as soon as thats done, watching all of those horrible old Christmas programs which I love so much! Then tonight's the service and tomorrow's Christmas!

Alright, I'm going to go eat.
Hope to see you guys tonight.

Merry Christmas!

One very excited Hannah Smith!

Okay, so, Christmas is just around the corner! I am so happy with what I got everybody I cannot wait! ...of course, I cannot wait to see what I got either... : )

So, we had the play last Sunday night, it went really well, I messed up my lines but unless you saw the play being practiced you really couldn't tell, because I was supposed to speak in broken sentances, jumping from one thing to another anyway...so that worked out well. :D

(btw did you hear that some Russian guy copyrighted the emoticon???)

Thursday I saw Fireproof with Melissa, had a fantastic time. Good company, good movie, good time!

Thursday was also the day my Dad had his tonsillectomy. (He got his tonsils taken out)

He's doing okay, he's had it rough and is craving real food. But it still hurts to swallow I guess.

He says he feels like Vito Corleone from the Godfather, beckoning people close and then mumbling at them. :D He's so funny!

Well, I said I'd post pictures of Reggie, our German Shepherd (from the last post)

so here he was:

He was such a good dog!

Not a whole lot else to say...

I watched Horton Hears a who, and Kit Kittredge

(both very cute)

I plan to review those on centeredview.blogspot.com

Alrighty!

Night all!

Hello All!

Hey guys!

Been a while since I updated, sorry.

What's happened....

Okay, We had our cantata at Park Hills on Sunday, that was a lot of fun, we were there before the choir so we got to practice on more time, the choir/bus got lost, but they arrived in plenty of time. : )
The choir sounded good, and I really liked how, at the end when everyone sang it was SOOO loud! I really liked that a lot.

So, the play:

For those who don't know, my part in the play was very small, I flirt with a guy who has a lot of money, then dump him over the phone when he runs out.

So I really don't know if I should be flattered or offended when people say "You are really good at that!"... no just kidding, it's fun. ; )

The play went really well, there were no big mix-ups in lines or anything.

And I think we all act pretty well. : )

Lets see... what else....

I worked Monday and Tuesday. I have to work Friday from 4 - 12, which, I don't want to work that late, but I would be fine if it weren't for the fact that my ACT is the next morning. I'm nervous as it is.

I can't really ask off though, because I'd been asking for more hours, so now they give me some... oh well, I'm pretty sure I'll be okay.

Tuesday I worked until 8, and as walked outside to my car I looked up, and there was the pepsi truck, parking me in.

lovely.

It was fine though, I just had to hang out for another 10 minutes, and it makes kind of a funny story.

...kinda like that camping trip...

We found out a little while ago, that the German Shepherd we had, Reggie, (who we had had to give back to the original owner because of the adoption) had to be put to sleep because he had a tumor. : (

So, it did work out well though, because we didn't have to do it.

I'm having trouble with the blog, so I'll put a couple of pics of him in a seperate post, later.

He was a cutie!

So, molly went to the vet because she's super fat and is losing her fur, she's got a thyroid problem, but nothing wrong with other internal organs so, she's good. *YAY*

Very excited, I get to go hang out with Melissa Ham tonight, we are going to go see "Fireproof" So excited! Love Melissa!

The Coolbaughs (my youth pastor and his family) came over Tuesday night, I was looking at pictures and it looked like they had a good time, but I was stuck behind a pepsi truck so I wouldn't know first hand... : )

I love the Coolbaughs so much, they really encourage all of us to grow. I am so thankful they came, I really don't think I would be the way I am now without them coming.

God works in all things.

I think that's about all I got right now... I cannot wait until Christmas, I am sooooooooo excited about what my sibs and I got my parents! I tell you that later. so excited!

Alrighty I need to go do school math now.

Talk to ya later!

CHRISTMAS!

I love Christmas!

Okay, so updated the template of my blog for Christmas! Yay!

Not much going on.
Had church and piano tonight.

Got my schedule for next week, I get 16 hours because two or three people didn't show up for their one-on-one meetins, so Dave (my manager) gave me their hours.
I work 4 hours monday 4 hours tuesday and 8 hours friday. I work until midnight which I've never done before.
Interestingly enough, my ACT is the next morning... So hopefully I'll be able to get off early, if not, oh well.

Sunday is our church's Christmas cantata/play at another church. So we get to travel down there, that'll be fun. I'm excited.


Made Gingerbread house with Abbi and Esther today, here are some pics. : )

Abbi did the front side...

I did that side, and Esther did the roof

I did this side.

Abbi did this side and Esther did the roof.

Esther did the roof.

Alrighty, I'm gonna go for tonight.
Night all!
