Tribute to the Brothers!

So in case you didn't know i have the BEST brothers...like EVER!
I was blessed with 3 handsome, amazing brothers!
They each inspire me in different ways.....
Ronny my oldest is awesome! He is so handsome and my dads twin. He is the odd one in the family by his smarts, he is so smart in all the areas that the rest of the Hahns arent the best in such as math, science, he runs marathons, he's a computer genius, he's amazing! I love visiting with Ronny because he asks me about everything in my life and he makes me feel important. Ronny is also HILARIOUS, he likes to make fun of me and my super girly-ness, and when he tries to talk like a girl it's awesome haha. I love you Ronny!
Randy the middle child has always been known as the funny one. He can brighten any situation! I remember when I was just a little girl and maybe Carrie would upset me or something and i'd be up in my room and he would be the first to come up and make me happy. He is also handsome and very smart! He is able to do about anything and everything! He always seems to know exactly what i'm going through and he always gives the perfect advice. He is very optimistic, and I love showing him off to my friends! I love you Randy!
Ryan is the brother closest to me.  Growing up I always looked up to Ryan, I thought he was the most stylish, coolest kid ever. I thought that he should've been nominated Prom King, and just be the most popular ever because he was so cool! He was always the mediator between Carrie and I's fights haha. He taught me to just not care about the dumb things. He used to "eat my belly" and I loved it! He is also so handsome and incredibly smart and talented! I still feel like I'm not at Ryans cool level yet haha.

So basically I have the most amazing brothers ever. I want to marry a guy that is just like all three of them. I really consider my brothers my best friends...love love love you!

Best 3 weeks!

Sooo as all of you know I had the best opportunity to be an EFY counselor this summer. I did it for 3 weeks, 2 in Provo and one in Fresno California. It was an AMAZING experience. I cannot even begin to describe! I learned so much, and I've already put so much of it to use being home for only a couple of days.
The theme this year was Steady and Sure, the scripture was Mosiah 5:15 (awesome scripture go read it!)
So my first week I was assigned to just another guy counselor Ben Gardner. It was his first week ever also. This was kinda worrisome haha, but it ended up working great. Because we both were new we had to really work together. He is an amazing guy and we had a lot of fun together. We still text and keep in contact it's great.
My kids the first week were kinda shy, but they were great! I love and miss them!
This is Ben (my first co counselor).
This is Erin she wasn't my co counselor but we got to know eachother really well. She goes to BYU-Idaho so i'm way excited to see her up there! She's so fun and I love her. By the way the green polos are the shirts we had to wear everyday so people knew we were counselors.
Here is Erin again, this is at the Friday night dance outside. We were both put on dance duty, which is where you are assigned a duty at the dance, ours was to make sure no non Efy participants tried to sneak in haha (and yes it happens lol)
Here is my co counselor in Fresno. His name is Marc Harrison, he is actually really good looking but because he is making a fish face......HAHAHA just kidding. But he was great. I had some crazy kids in Fresno and he helped me deal with them lol!
Every Wednesday night it's games and pizza night. Games night is where your company (which is my kids and my co counselors kids combined) make up a cheer/skit and perform it in front of judges, create a banner saying the company name, and play a ton of games with the entire session(everyone at EFY). It's super fun, and it's a great opportunity for the kids to really bond. This picture is of my first group of kids, the banner is upside down..of course, hahaha.

These are just a few of many, and I will most deff add to this blog with more pictures, I just have to go develop them.
Being an EFY counselor was amazing (i know i've said the already haha). It was hard because I had to wake up at 5 am and couldn't go to bed until after midnight, and I was going going going all day. Yet it was so rewarding. 
Everyday I would have a devotional with my girls, and every other day I would teach the devotional to the entire company. Every day was scheduled, yet I had the opportunity to entertain my kids during the down time, such as waiting in lines or during lunch. It was great teaching them games, songs, or getting to know the youth. The youth are amazing and I honestly became great friends with them. I already miss them a lot!
The other counselors were so amazing, We all became one huge family. 
It was great because everyday I was teaching and learning and doing what I love which is working with the youth, teaching, and being involved with the gospel, plus I got to dance and sing and everything else!
I could probably write a novel on what I have learned but ya'll are probably bored by now!
But lets just say I plan to bring the EFY spirit home, and it's already made a huge difference in my life. I look at everything with a different perspective now. 
I love ya'll so much! The church is true! And remember to "always be abounding in good works" and dont ever forget Christ and if you can achieve that, that you can achieve anything!
