Burn Burn Burn Tan

This is the third time this season that I have gotten burnt. Like sunburnt. It sucks. I really know that I should put on more sunscrean but I cant get myself to do it. I always think "Hanna think about the tan that you will get!" But on the other hand I think "Hanna think about the sun cancer you can get!" See people think that they would rather be pale than get sun cancer and I should be one of those people but im not. : ( I can handle the pain of the burn with the thought of the tan that will hopefully come after. I am going to Cedar Point for Vacation this month. We leave the 6th of July. I am sooo excited! But wish me luck with the sunscrean! haha... Im just kidding. I am going to put some on.

Hair Cut



So last month (havent posted in a while... sorry) I got my hair cut. It wasnt a little hair cut either it was a big change. I cut off 11" and gave it to locks of love. I felt really good about it. For anyone that really knows me, my hair is like my thing. I freak out over my hair. It has to be perfect. I felt like i was naked when I got it all cut off. It was soooo long and I have never had my hair this short. It was a big change but I love it. I got it cut like this and it looks really cute. Sorry, im not allowed to put pictures of myself on here so I just have to have the model on here. But i hope you guys like it!


Youth Conference

Hi everyone. Sorry I havent posted in a while. I am not at school and dont really think about checking my e-mail and posting all the time. Anyway... this last week I went to youth conference! Yeah!!! Honestly I was totally hating the thought of going. Even more so when I heard that I wouldnt be able to stay in house. I would have to stay with other familys. But I loved where I stayed, it was with this awsome family that is in my ward. I probably would not have not gone to youth conference if it werent for the fact that I was helping to plan a dance that friday evening. So i probably should have thought about that before I said that I would help. The first day was an outside thing at Parkland (thats a community college out here). We played games and sat and talked with people. We also ate lunch. yuuummm. I got SO sunburnt. We had actually had a rain storm early that morning that we were all up for. It was bad. We had trees down and all that good stuff. Im getting off topic. But because it was so hot we all got really sweaty. and it was gross. I hate getting swetty. So i went back to my host home and took a shower. Tf the best shower of my life. After that we went back to the church and ate dinner and went to a dance. It was fun. I actually noticed a guy there. : ) I was soooo tired that night. The next day was a service project day. Some of the kids went to old peoples houses and helped them. But I went to a local park and helped planting flowers. It was actually pretty fun. Untill the heat came in and then it was hot. I was ready to leave at that point. but I got to go back and take a shower and my host home. So it was all good. we went back to the church and had lunch and did some workshops. They were amazing! I loved this one speaker. He was actually my seminary teachers husband. He did really good! It really hit home. But again after that we had dinner and went to a dance. It was the dance that I was in charge of. The theme of the conference was "Stand up & Stand out". So we did neon colors and black. It was fabulous. We had glow sticks and a black light. I loved it. Except a glow stick exploded all over my dress. But I ran to the bathroom and got it out. I also saw that guy there. I found out his name but I actually never talked to him or anything. He is Dylan from Jacksonville. haha... I even know what town he lives in. That night was the best though. When we got back to the host home we found out the the guys in our ward were staying right across the street from us. So we had to do something. We went at like midnight and tided the guys cars down. We were climbing underneith cars and throwing strings and tying them to the ground. It was so much fun. We even got to see the guys come out in the morning. Their faces were great. that next day we went to breakfast at the church and then went down to the chapel for testimony meeting. I actually went up. I hated every minute of it. but the people I was with kept nudging and looking at me. I went up and said everything that came to mind. that probably was not the best thing. I actually forgot where I was. haha... but I loved youth conference and cant wait till next year.
