Today I surprised myself, which is pretty hard to do, if you think about it. Me and my family were hiking to a waterfall/swimming hole thing near Florissant. There were some people jumping off the rocks into the pool. It was maybe a 15-20 foot drop straight into the water. Ella dared me to get into the water and I replied that I'd jump from the rocks into the water. She actually got Mom and Dad to agree and so, I did. It took one and a half seconds to hit the water (I counted) and when I did, the water was so cold it numbed me instantly. It took me maybe 2 or 3 seconds (try counting it slowly, and it seems like longer) to come up and when I did, it was almost like the water had frozen my lungs for a second. It was completely exhilarating. Emma and Abby wanted to try it and I followed them up and did it again after they decided it was too high. It was really fun. Of course I had that whole 20 minute ride home in cold, wet clothes and that 20 minute wait to get food at Mountain Burger, but it was totally worth it. Post by Mike DeHerrera.

About Me!Hannah writes to satisfy her imagination. She's written six books so far--five of which need to be rewritten--and is working on a seventh. She ranges through a variety of genres, but favors contemporary YA, fixing broken characters. She wants to use her writing to change people and bring hope. She's currently going to college for Nursing and that takes up most of her writing time. She's a rather stereotypical writer, talking to imaginary friends, eavesdropping on people at the store, secretly being nosy, stashing herself away in her room with a paper and pen and chocolate and her teddy bear. She loves Jesus, the way the morning smells, her family of seven (four siblings), old movies, fairy tales, candles at night and helping people. She writes on another blog at nerdywriter.blogspot.com to hopefully build her chances of publication. My Author Site:Archives
