Looking Back at an Old Photo.


This is one of my older photos that I took on December 24th, 2010.
That seemed like so long ago to me...
The grass was brown. The trees were drab. The sky was gray and cloudy.

Now the grass is green, the trees are full of bright, shiny green leaves, and the sky is blue.
(Well, not now. It's 8:26 now. Oh well.)

Do you like spring? What about it? :)

Yesterday...

...a well-expected package came in the mail.

It was huge, but not heavy; lovely, but not really a huge deal.

Can you guess what it is?

It was...
(Sorry for the messy table and house in the background. And this is not the best photo; I certainly could have made it more presentable, couldn't have I? Sorry!)

YES! It was my violin. Well, you probably have no idea what I am talking about, right? ;)

Almost four weeks ago, my mom ordered a violin off of I-can't-remember-what.com. (Amazon or something? I don't know.) She got it for a pretty good deal. ;D It was normally pretty expensive for just a violin, and while it's a beginner's one, it was gorgeous when I opened the case and looked at it.

 Ever since I was little, I'd been wanting to play the violin, and seeing lots of other girls online just made me want to play it more! ;) So that's why I was really excited when it was ordered - and especially when it was mine. 

*I seriously don't mean to be bragging about this if it appears that I am in any way. I had been wanting a violin for a VERY LONG time. So it's a treasure to me, and I am very, very grateful for it.*

So - can any of you tell just how excited I am? ;) I really am. Right now I'm sitting at the foot of my [quite messy] bed and looking at it. It's probably about three feet tall; just a guess, since I can't see it all that well. ;)

I'll try to post when I start taking lessons. Maybe yes, maybe no. ;) Just kidding.

Sorry if this post was really boring and/or a little long. Next time I'll try to make a really interesting one.

With love,

Hannah

PS. Like the new design? I decided not to wait until summer to give my blog a makeover, just because I thought a spring design would be nice.

PPS. Comments here have been slow lately, so I would really appreciate some:) Also, don't worry -  today or tomorrow I'm drawing the giveaway winner!
