Oh Hannah

It's been an "Oh Hannah" week. 

I skyped with Kit yesterday. Don't you love it when Jesus puts people in your life, people you depend on so entirely, just to find out that God has even more in store for your friendship. I find myself growing closer to my maid-of-honor than I thought was possible, and realizing how entirely Jesus has placed her in my life. 

I was talking to her about my week. She laughed at the end of my 20 minute ramble of complete nonsense of a week and said..."So not only are you working and planning a wedding, but you're thinking about all that too? Oh Hannah."

It was an "Oh Hannah" week. 

It was a week of thinking. My job leaves a lot of room for thinking. Meditating? Sure. 

About marriage. About putting this man (when I'm serious he switches out of boy snail mode) entirely before myself. 

About friendships, and the death of them. And how insecure that leaves me feeling. 

About God. And the bigness of his love. And the stretches of the universe. And the concept of eternity. 

About adventure. About how I've always said I want adventure in my life, and yet when it comes, I shy away. 

Yes, an "Oh Hannah" week. 

So please forgive me for abandoning Neverland for a bit. My thoughts have been a little to big for this small piece of my heart. 

But I love you Neverland, even if I've been thinking very grown up thoughts lately. 

Giveaway!

This has been long overdue loves.

It shall be inspired by four of my favorite things:

1) Peter Pan

An unabridged version of the J.M. Barrie classic and my favorite book of all time. 

2) Bubbles

These are some of the best bubbles I've found...and believe me, I look around quite a bit. They will last a crazy long time as well. 

3) Pumpkins

This adorable little clay pumpkin was handmade for me by my friend Annie. It's cuteness and perfection. I almost don't want to part with it. 

4) One of my favorite quotes: "Discover beauty in everyone." 

A painting by yours truly with a piece of my favorite quote. 

P.S. - If you win but don't care for this painting, I would be more than happy to do another one for you.

Bookstores, twins, Neverland, Africa, Disney, and love

After watching Alice in Wonderland tonight I have decided to adopt her practice.

"I daresay you haven't had much practice,' said the Queen. 'When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast." - Lewis Carroll

1) I shall own a lovely used bookstore on the beach one day with the hippie.

2) I will adopt twins from Africa.

3) I will continue to dream about Neverland until the night I die in my sleep as a very old woman at which point I will actually take a trip there.

4) I will travel to Africa regularly, always stopping to say "I love you" to every beautiful person I meet. 

5) I will take my children to Disney Land every 2 years while they are growing up, and it will always be a surprise.

6) I will always live in a place that I love.

30 day music challenge:

Day 24: a song you want to play at your funeral

I used this before, but I just adore it so much. It makes me feel understood by the world.
