Here we go again!! It's Amanda Senior Year and today I left part of my heart at OBU again! Just one more year but it feels so good to see how much Amanda loves her school and how responsible she is with everything she does! Finish strong in your Cheerleading and work hard to earn the double major! God bless you sweetheart and have a great last year at College!!!❤️????#OBUClass2018

Two of my favorite Hannah's in one pic but also two of the strongest girls I know. They have been through some crazy trials the past few months, but still seek Jesus daily and know that the Lord is up to something they can't even understand yet. Senior year with y'all is going to be the most fun!!! ❤️
