WHERE IN THE WORLD?????????? O.o

Hello people of the earth!!! I decided to do my where in the world 6 times! Yeah, you heard me. 6 TIMES! So if you don't know one of these places, guess the others!

I'm also going to give some clues if you're stuck. (I don't know if they help or not)

 Picture #1 is a bridge that I have been to.

 Picture #2 once saw a double rainbow ;)

Picture #3 is not in Asia.

Picture #4, think Alex and Marty.

Picture #5 was in an Indiana Jones movie.

A Wedding Story

This is the Wedding Story of my mom and dad :) .

   Stephanie Slaymaker and Jim Baghdadi got married on August 19th, which is actually also my mom's birthday. They had been together for almost three years before they got married. They got married in Las Vegas, Nevada, and nobody came, because it wasn't like a traditional wedding. A justice of the peace married my mom and dad. They got married in Las Vegas because my dad said that they could have the wedding and the honeymoon at the same time. They got married in the morning, and that night they went to a casino and stayed in a hotel called The Luxor Hotel.

   The groom  rented a white convertible, and the couple got married at a famous location called the little white chapel. Many movie stars got married there. The little white chapel is little, and white, and I think it's really cute :). My mom was wearing an ivory colored dress with lace around the neck, and my dad was wearing a navy blue suit. They drove up to a drive-through window and got out of the convertible. There was an older man at the window who asked if the couple wanted to start a family, then he got out the rings and asked them to say the vows. Then they put on the rings and then they kissed. There wasn't any music or entertainment, but after the ceremony they got their picture taken in a gazebo decorated with white roses. That night, they went to a really nice New-Orleans style seafood buffet for dinner.

   Though this wasn't the traditional white wedding, my mom said that it was one of the happiest days of her life. She really enjoyed that the wedding took place on her birthday, and that the hotel they stayed in was in the shape of a pyramid. She said she wouldn't change anything about it. When I grow up, I don't want my wedding to be too crazy, or too boring, and I think that my mom's wedding was a great way to get married, although I would have maybe invited some more people. Even though my mom and dad are divorced now, they are still good friends and I'm glad that they had a really nice wedding.

My Name Story :D

Hi People!!!! This post is about my name and how awesome it is! Well, not exactly, it's about how I got my name and a few other things about it. (By the way, my name is Hannah if you didn't already know).


     My name is Hannah, and it was decided from the start that my name would be Hannah. It means "grace" or "gracious" and its origin is Hebrew. It's a popular name in the United States, and my mom and dad both really loved the name and it held many good qualities as a choice. For example, it's my aunt's name but you pronounce her name differently and spell it in Arabic script   هناء. <----- Isn't it cool???


       Hannah also a biblical name (mentioned in the bible). Hannah was the mother of the prophet Samuel, and when she was unable to have children, she prayed that if god gave her  a son, she would let him be raised as a priest. And the last reason (my favorite ;) is that the name Hannah is a palindrome, which means that it is the same word spelled backwards. H_A_N_N_A_H!!!! <----- Isn't it cool???




      I really like my name, and I think it suits me well. It was a breeze to learn, and it's pretty common in the U.S. I think it's simple and pretty but if I were to change my name, I think I would change it to Nicole. So that's why if I have a girl I would name it Nicole. My second name choice for a daughter would be Savanna because I am utterly obsessed with cheetahs and they live on the savanna. Plus I like names that start with S and I think Savanna is pretty. If I were to have a boy, I'm not sure what I would name him. I guess I like the name Micheal or Nick but I really haven't given a thought about it. Well, that's my name. BYE, BYE!

Pictures of EASTER!! :D

Awwww...

PEEPS!



Chocolate Bunnies :)



My Family Tradition: Easter :D

Hi guys!!!!! I decided to do my family tradition post about how my family celebrates Easter in America :D

By the time Easter rolls around, pretty much every store in America is decorated with pastel colors and bunnies :). I just love how bunnies and pastel colors go together. About a week before, my family usually goes to the dollar store to pick up some cheap easter decorations which are actually not that bad. Then we get out our own decorations in the basement and add the new ones to them. And the whole day we're decorating like crazy!

The night before easter, (haha I almost said christmas!) my mom boils about 6 dozen eggs. (They're white so the color is more vibrant) While she does that, my sister and I get out all of our mugs and open up the packets of egg coloring you can buy. The coloring comes in the form of little tablets. We drop a tablet in each mug, and then add white vinegar or water, depending on the type of coloring. Once you add the vinegar, the tablets start to fizz, turning the vinegar the specific color. Then when the eggs are done boiling, we use a scooper thingy that comes with the colors to dip the eggs into the mugs. About two minutes later we scoop the all of the rest of the eggs back out and they're different colors!


The last thing we do before we go to sleep is leave out all of the finished eggs out on the dining room table, along with a carrot for the easter bunny :). Then, when we wake up, my sister and I rush downstairs, each with a basket. All of the eggs we had colored the night before were hidden throughout the house. My sister and I race around the house, seeing who can find the most eggs. There are also baskets filled with candy and prizes hidden. Ones with ribbons tied around the handle are mine, and ones without are my sister's. My favorite easter candy would have to be Peeps. My sister likes the chocolate bunnies best. It takes about 3 weeks to eat all of the candy :).

A Favorite Spot! :D

One of my favorite spots is a city in Virginia (USA), called Williamsburg. I lived there for three years, so it's a place that's pretty special to me. Even though it's a rather small town, I was surprised by how many things there are to see and do there, and if you look at the pictures above, you can see some of the coolest things that I love about Williamsburg.

Some reasons that I love Williamsburg (and Virginia in general), is
1. How green everything is: with all of the forests in the area, trees, bushes, and grass are plentiful.
2. The seasons there: Summer is pleasantly hot, spring is beautiful, with meadows of flowers and little fawns and baby bunnies. During fall (autumn), all of the trees turn brilliant shades of red, yellow, and gold. And finally, at winter time it gets very cold and we sometimes get snow days!!!
3. It's rich history: All of it is very interesting to me, especially since in Colonial Williamsburg you can really experience how life was like back then.
4. Virginia has really nice schools and universities. I hope to got to college there one day.
5. The best part: Williamsburg VA, small as it may be, has a Busch Gardens Amusement Park, a Water Country USA waterpark, and a humongous hotel called the Great Wolf Lodge!!!!!!!! (pictured above)

These aren't the only great things about Williamsburg, but if you really want to find out what other surprises it has in store, you should go there yourself. I highly recommend it. :D
