I got to talk with Hannah today, huge relief, because I had been so worried that she didn't believe her 2007 visit was going to happen, but she does, and we are going to MAKE THIS WORK and I also found cheaper tickets *whew* and and and I am filled with magic and glitter memories! so I went looking through the photos of last years visit, and I'm so filled with love and joy. Can it be? I am the luckiest girl in the world, to have found this beautiful person. ♥ She is my spirit-twin, she matches me so very well, understands me so perfectly. eeee she makes me so happy! We're coming up on our second anniversary of friendship (can it be so young?) and 15 months of soulfriendship today ♥

These photos are from the 4th day of Hannah's first visit! :D We went to my partner's parent's house as has been my habit for years. I can't think of a close friend (whom I've met in person) that hasn't met them. Before I dated my partner, his sister Rebecca and I were inseparable -- his family have been a big part of my life since I was 15. Less now than before, but that's to be expected I suppose, since I no longer have a need to be parented. Still, I take my friends to meet them because they're awesome and so are my friends. :D Unfortunately Mr. Ben and Miss Kathleen were off having a date weekend (necessary when you have so many kids!), so they didn't get to meet her but elya, Natty, and JJ did. Hannah said the atmosphere of their house was so warm and welcoming. :D


Hannah proves she can touch the ceiling too

Hannah gleeeee!!!


me looking wicked with my lei >:-D

-- we had randomly found two lei at my partner's family's house and had made a game of trying to throw them over each other's heads. Everyone else was all wtf? but we thought it was HYSTERICAL and laughed 'til we cried!

Then we went to the FAIR!!! (in my tiny town, crazy!) which we had miraculously noticed on the very last day they were in town, and decided to go to! I had never been to a fair before (seriously!) so it was especially exciting for me. :D ohhh I loved it! I was soooo thrilled and amazed that God/dess had arranged it for us :D




at the fair! excited Hannah!


Hannah is a little weirded out that I'm being Miss Clicky-click
