A Birthday Soiree + Vlog

(my dress: Tracy Reese via Ebay, Caitie's dress: Tracy Reese via Ebay, Lily's Dress: Goodwill)

So Saturday was kind of a big deal....

My best friend Caitie and I decided to throw a join birthday party for our 18th and 16th birthdays!!! My birthday was in June and Caitie's is at the end of August so we met in the middle.

family on point

This is when our friend Jesse surprised everyone with a song he had written about Caitie and I, :') The full version is in the vlog!

It was a wonderful evening and I wish all of you could have been there! Since that wasn't possible I have a vlog from the whole weekend to make it feel like you were! Beware... there's LOTS of embarrassing dance moves and off tune singing. (screaming?) 

Han Gets Baptized

What party would it be without donuts?

P.S. My dress is from J.Crew and it's on sale now! 

Best friends since I was 6

"I always thought I had a boring testimony. Grew up in church... had Christian parents for as long as I can remember… got saved at a fairly young age. So typical, so boring. I always secretly wished that I had had some riveting story of being a criminal in the past and having this incredible salvation story that would have everyone captivated at a Bible study. But clearly that wasn’t God’s plan for me. He blessed me with parents who taught me the Bible day in and day out. They told me about my sin and need for a savior, and in my early teens I made their faith my own and fell in love with Christ and what He had done for me. But as I looked over this question and a million thoughts ran through my head, one struck me by surprise. I was *just* as lost as the criminal who turned from their wicked ways. I was *just* as lost as a tribal man in South Africa. I was *just* as lost as a Hindu in India and a Muslim in Turkey. I needed a savior no less than anyone else, and it is just as amazing that God would choose to save a wicked, dark person like me. Though I don’t remember the specific date or time I was saved, I don’t really need to. Having a great story isn’t what saved me. Plus, I do have a great story… God left the heavens, bore my shame, suffered and died to save me! How much more incredible can it get!?!?! I still fail Him all the time, but as I get older I grow closer and closer to Him. I want to serve Him with my life and gifts, and give Him my everything… Just as He gave me His everything."

Killing Flowers

For my baptism I knew I wanted hydrangeas for the centerpieces but couldn't find nice ones anywhere! I was getting discouraged when Caitie said her neighbor said the deer were eating all her flowers and she could pick whatever she wanted. Free hydrangeas? Score.  (Shoutout to Caitie's neighbor who I do not know. You rock.)

"shhh, flowers. I'm only killing you."

I made this dress at the end of the summer last year and it's one of my faves. Classic but 

still quirky. 

Kevin: "Ooo wait! I have a photo idea! Here take my pic." (He legit instagrammed this...)

Outfit details: 

Hannah: Dress: Made by me; Shoes: Consignment store

Caitie: Dress: Calvin Klein; Shoes: Goodwill

Kevin: who knows

Cuties in Cudjoe: Part 2

Our second day in the Keys Grandpa took us to his favorite local diner, "The Galley Grill". I've decided they have the best atmosphere and blueberry pancakes. Is there really a better way to start your day in paradise?

Then we walked next door to the hardware store and took photos in front of this wall because we never miss out on a photo opportunity. 

Then we drove around to lots of little shops and drooled over all the cute tropical things. 

We went back to Grandpa's for the rest of the afternoon and chilled by the pool. 

(Grandpa is the coolest interior decorator and his whole house is a work of art)

But really. Is your Grandpa's house so cool that it has it's own merchandise? We all got "The Coop Casa" hats and have tshirts on the way!

So cas. 

Grandpa decided we needed to head into the city (Key West) to eat dinner and watch the sunset that night. 

He's sah cute 

When we got home us girls went up to the stargazing deck and laid there and watched the sky and talked about the most random things and laughed till we cried. This was probably one of my favorite nights from the trip.
