Hi. I’m Hannah.

I’m a writer, a photographer, a blogger, an artist.

I tell stories.

I’ve been telling stories since I was ten and stole my Dad’s camcorder so my friend and I could record ourselves performing the Carol-Burnett-style sketches I wrote. We were going to send them to Lorne Michaels and be famous.

I’m not famous.

And yes, at ten years old I was aware of Lorne Michaels. I also read Carol Burnett’s autobiography when I was in fifth grade. I was one of those kids.

My degree is in theatre and creative writing. I’ve always fancied myself as an entertainer and over time, I have become the live-in comedienne to my friends and family. My dream job is to work on Saturday Night Live. In the mean time, this blog is a creative outlet for my entertainment exploits. Here, you will become victim to the stories of my foibles, my photography, my creative triumphs and failures, my self-deprecating sense of humor, and my off-the-wall ideas.

I apologize in advance if you don’t like fart jokes.

I don’t agree with the phrase, “Boys don’t make passes at girls who wear glasses.” Because in 2006 a svelte young man named Aaron did, indeed, make a pass at this four-eyed girl and we are now happily married. We have one child – a miniature poodle named Millie Dillmount that I affectionately call, “Booger.” She insists on jumping in my lap every time the opportunity presents itself. Aaron and I have been trying to make people for longer than I would have preferred, to no avail. If you are interested in reading about what I have to say about our experiences with infertility, please feel free to read my Waiting for Grace series.

I’ve lived in Houston my entire life and if I had the resources I would travel everywhere and maintain two homes; one in Houston and one in New York City – New York, because I have a very amorous affection for the City That Never Sleeps. It’s also where Aaron proposed.

I’ve been told that I come across as shy and I always say that I must disagree with that assumption. There is a difference between being shy and being quiet. When one is shy, they are afraid to speak. When one is quiet, they are choosing not to speak. I’m a quiet individual. I’m not afraid to speak my mind, I’m simply observing and keeping to myself. I’m very pensive and analytical. I live in my head. However, I have bouts of social extrovertedness from time to time, especially around my immediate circle of family and friends.

One of my biggest goals in life is to show people that they are loved, that they have purpose, and that they are priceless. I want to see people the way Jesus sees people.

I have this weird theory about the art I put on my walls; It has to be something sentimental that was made for me or by me or it has to be pictures of people I love.

In this phase of my life, I’m yearning for so much; to be a mom and to turn my creative passions into a life’s work. These desires are reaffirming my faith in miracles – once you’re desperate for one, you learn to have faith that it will happen.

More than anything, I love to laugh.

I hope you like my blog.

I’m also blessed and honored to be a contributing writer for an online ministry called Dancing Upon Barren Land, a Christian infertility support ministry. Lesli and her website reaches throughout the world to minister to those struggling with infertility, to offer support and encouragement. I frequently post on the website and will always let you know when I do. But if you’re struggling through infertility or know someone who is please visit Dancing Upon Barren Land and share this wonderful ministry with others!
