 1-8     Texas, and her adorable little countenance was framed by a full
 1-9     head of blond hair; and
1-10           WHEREAS, The long-awaited arrival of this beloved new Texan
1-11     has brought great joy to her parents, as well as to her maternal

1-13     grandparents, Frank and Molly Homer; and
1-14           WHEREAS, Hanna will no doubt wear as much maroon as she does

1-16     from Texas A&M University in 1984 before earning his M.B.A. from
1-17     Angelo State University in 1989, while Hanna's mother, Jennifer,

1-19     her career as a fourth grade teacher for the North Lamar
1-20     Independent School District; and
1-21           WHEREAS, Hanna will surely thrive in the loving embrace
1-22     formed by her parents, extended family, and friends--a circle that
1-23     will undoubtedly nurture this fine young Texan throughout her life;
1-24     it is with great pleasure that the members of this chamber formally
 2-1     announce the birth of a new citizen of the Lone Star State and
 2-2     congratulate her parents on this joyous occasion; now, therefore,
 2-3     be it
