a post about nothing... ness.

Uhmm, yes... I am completely serious. This post really is about nothing... just random stuff that makes me smile. =)                                      

 UP. Best love story EVER. 

 And these... these would just be awesome. Ya know, instead of 'I stubbed my toe' or 'I fell off my bike.' Agreed? 

 It's super adorable. 

 I don't know why, but I can't help but laugh when I see this picture. That face is CLASSIC! 

 Just sweet. 

 Ha! I knew it... 

 Love this. 

 Greece. I could definitely go for that... 

 Amen. 

 The way it should be... 

 This picture, to me, is just amAzing. I mean, I've always loved blue eyes... but these are so beautiful! 

 Love this verse. 

 LOL right? 

 There's a fine line... 

 It doesn't even make sense, but I still love it. hehe. 

 Yes. 

 So this place just looks awesome, doesn't it? 

 Exactly. 

 This picture is so precious. 

 Yeah... I think it's cute. =) 

 ... 

 This Is The Stuff. 

 #like

 I question I find myself asking a lot... why are we constantly looking for something more? 

 Just because. =) 

 Haha, I've felt this way so many times!

 Kinda cool to think about... 

 There are no words for how sweet this is. 

 =) 

 Aww. <3

 I could have used this today... lol 

I was enchanted to meet you... 

And this picture says so much... I love it. 

Anyways, cool stuff right? ;) 

My family and I are leaving Friday for a week long vacation in TN (excited!!), so I won't be on here for a while... but I'll hopefully have lot's of pictures when I get back... and a new blog design. This blog could DEFINITELY use a makeover. But I finally got a picture for the header... soooo now I just have to do it. =) Ohhh, speaking of which (pictures)... I GOT MY NEW CAMERA!! It's a Canon Rebel T3i. There are no words for how excited I am!! It was actually kind of a miracle how I got it... but I think it will suffice to say that God is good!! Even and especially when we don't deserve it... never lucky, forever blessed, right? =) 

God bless you all... goodnight!

Dear Jon... (I love writing that!...)

Happy 6th Birthday, little guy!! Can't believe the baby of our family is 6 already... but boy is he loved! He's one of those -first-to-bring-you-a-band-aid-if-you're-hurt-and-always-rooting-for-the-underdog- sorta guys. This morning was definitely one of those 'sweet' moments... first thing, he came into my room and climbed into bed with me to tell me about his plans for the day. Which of course included playing with his friends and opening his presents. One of which he was especially excited about, that he picked out for himself... a Buzz Lightyear nightlight. It was so cute!

Hope you had a great birthday, buddy! Even though you probably won't read this for years. ;) 

Love, Hans

You Know Better Than I

"I thought I did what's right

I thought I had the answers

I thought I chose the surest road

But that road brought me here

So I put up a fight

And told you how to help me

Now just when I have given up

The truth is coming clear

You know better than I 

You know the way 

I've let go the need to know why

For You know better than I

If this has been a test

I cannot see the reason

But maybe knowing I don't know

Is part of getting through

I try to do what's best

And faith has made it easy

To see the best thing I can do

Is put my trust in You

For You know better than I

You know the way

I've let go the need to know why

For You know better than I

I saw one cloud and thought it was a sky

I saw a bird and thought that I could follow

But it was You who taught that bird to fly

If I let You reach me, will You teach me?

For You know better than I

You know the way

I've let go the need to know why

I'll take what answers You supply

You know better than I"

YouTube isn't wanting to work right now or I would have put up a video of this song. But look it up! It's called Better Than I, and both David Campbell or Joy Williams do it really good. This has honestly become one of my favorite songs EVER, and I'm pretty sure you'll love it too. =) 

Let me know what ya think!... 

~H

to me they're worth more than a thousand words...

This ^^ pretty much completely and totally sums up why I love photography so much. =) 

Wow... I feel like I haven't been on here in forever! Why? Reason #1: We live in the country. We have satellite internet. Need I continue? ;) But, it is better than nothing so, yes, grateful. (is it okay to be slightly annoyed as well...?) Anyways, reason #2: I'm lazy. Yep. Until last week, I hadn't picked up my camera in almost a month. A MONTH!!!! Yeah, I totally love taking pictures... but I just wasn't feeling it. Hopefully that's past? lol I don't know... BUT! I have been better this past week. The majority of pictures go on our family blog though. Which if you want, you can check out here. Feel free to follow or comment.  =)  Okay well moving on! I absolutely cannot believe that Christmas is NEXT Sunday. Seriously, it seems like we just had Christmas. And I know I probably say that every year... but I really mean it this time! I,e,... I still remember what I wore and the first present I opened last year. Yes, I'm serious. See, seems like yesterday. Nonetheless, I'm excited. Not in a -jump-up-and-down-and-squeal- kind of way, but in a -the-new-year-is-almost-here-and-I'm-about-to-turn-EIGHTEEN!!-and-I-feel-like-my-life-is-about-to-get-crazier-and-I-can't-wait- kind of excited. Does that make sense? Maybe I'm just sentimental or something... but it's also kinda sad. Like when i think that this is the last year I'll ever be 17, and that all these great times and epic moments of 2011 will just be distant memories... it's bittersweet. Or maybe it's the fact that it's 1a.m. and I'm really not fully awake right now? That is VERY possible. hehe.  Well, enough with that. I find myself rambling on waaaaay too much these days. ;) So ending this post with some pictures of my lovely family... =)

 

God bless you all... =)
