Hannah
How do you describe Hannah? The different words and memories racing through my head all seem so inadequate! She’s one of my friends, since forever. {yes, I do have friends} We grew up together playing wild Indians and reading Kaya books. Cringing in embarrassment about our “blond” moments and then laughing about them together later. Riding bareback {double} on faithful Ginger and falling off! Having sleepovers, talking late into the night and reading Hannah’s diary. Looking at horses for sale and jumping in excitement when she bought her dream horse {Buddy} Riding the quad and chasing chickens. Talking, playing and laughing together. The memories are all there.
Then something happened. Something that was exciting, yet sad. You see, Hannah had met Jaylon. The guy {in capitals} Yes, he was *the one* she thought and so did he. Four months later he asked her, she said yes. Now she is moving to Arizona. Which {for anyone doesn’t have their geography book opened} is quite a bit a ways from PA. I’m going to miss her. But, I’m really happy for her anyways.
Their wedding is coming up *quickly* and I can’t wait! But what do you always do before a wedding? Have a shower for the bride, of course! And that’s what we did this past Sunday.
The shower was wonderful. My Mom {with help} hosted it and everything went so perfectly and looked beautiful! Would you like to see some pictures?

-Because Hannah's wedding is in Arizona, not many will be able to attend. We thought it would be nice to show everyone what she would look like! (sorry no pictures!)-
