Birthday: 8/23/1985
Gender: Female
Interests: HI! my name is Dana and I love games...NOT!!!!
But give me a ball and call it a sport, and I'm down. I love being outside, taking walks anytime any where, being with the people I care about, making Erin laugh, watching JoAnna, Alissa, and Dave harmonize, and playing with my little friends(Jenna-4, Ashley-22mo, and Miriah-6). I am an organizer, I am a mom (according to my sister), I am stubborn, and I really really like getting my way. Despite all these traits I am pretty fun to be around:)
Expertise: As of late I have expertise in stressing out, and trying to take things into my own hands, even when I know that God will take care of it for me.

| Wow I realized that I was just using this to keep up with a few of you,
and now I am thinking that you guys have no clue what is going on with
me. So I'll tell you a little bit:).....
So the semester is now officially over and I have three more days
untill summer school starts. I dont really get any kind of break this
summer... well except for the week I am getting married!!!!!!!!:)
SO Jon and I now have all the stuff we need to make our invitations, we
just have to finalize things on the computer and start printing.
Hopefully we will be able to get them out in the next week.
I am still looking for a dress. I am so picky and so cheap that I
haven't found the right combo yet. Even the people who are buying the
dress are telling me to spend as much as I need on a dress, so I kind
of have the world against me when it comes to trying to keep things
cheap. I might break down this weekend and actually go to David's
Bridal to look at "Wedding dresses" it seems like with that term
comes at least a $400 mark up. Even the most casual dress I see in the
David's Bridal catalog is $399. Unbelievable. You would think that
casual=cheaper... but I guess they don't think that way. I just feel
preasured that I need to find a dress now...like this weekend.
Erin set the shower date for July 23rd at 2pm just in case y'all were wondering.
Jon and I still haven't gone in any direction in regards to Help plant
a church with Dawson or staying at Sierra Bible. But it is official
that It is goign to be an Evangelical free church.
I am starting to build closer relationships witht he girls I work with.
I love them all in different ways, and I am hoping that God will open
the doors and I will make the effort to get closer to them and be
Christ to them. Work is my mission field right now.
Jon is looking for a job, so pray that God opens doors. It is kinda
late to look for a summer job, but this is when he got the one last
year, so I am not too worried, I just hope that it is a job that he
remotely likes.
I seem to also be building relationships with a few of the younger
girls at Sierra Bible... Would God build up those relationships and
then send me somewhere else???..... I don't know.
I have to go to Bible study now.

| Just got back from Florida last week. We had a lot of fun! It was
pretty cold in Atlanta, but in florida in was in the mid to high 70's.
One of the nights Jon and I had the best date ever! KAtie and Scott had
a edding to go to, so it was just eh two of us for a few hours, and
katie showed Jon how to drive the Vesba, and we rode to the beach on
that and had a picnic diner on the beach and watched the sun go down
and walked on the beach. then we went driving all around on it. we had
a blast!

| Rebecca's wedding was beautiful, and I had a great time with Michelle.
We wore ourselves out!!!! On the way home we had an adventure... here
is our story...
We didn't get home till 1 that night. the other girls (JoAnna,
Tereasa, Gracie, and Erin) had a flat tire, and needed new
windshield wipers, Michelle and I got a little turned around but got
back on the right track pretty quick. The first two hours I was so
grumpy! It was pouring the whole way and I was anticipating the
horrible snow. When we got to it and paid to get our chains on I was
ready for the snow and kind of in a better mood, but we were in for a
long night. there was barely any snow, so we were driving pretty much
with chains on the pavement the whole time. When we had gotten to where
there was no snow on the road at all and it had been that way for a
while we decided to find a place to take off the chains. Then the fun
began. we got the outside part unhooked easily, but we didn't realize
there was an inside part. We remembered to turn the tires all the way
to one side, but we couldn't find the latch. We both tried multiple
times. We were wet cold and all dirty, and to top it off we had to pee.
After many calls to poor Travis (who was three hours ahead of us) we
got one detached, but the other was stuck. some time later after our
efforts seemed hopeless and after much time of prayer a highway patrol
man finally stopped. After he scolded us for pulling over in a bad spot
and telling us that we cold get killed he said that he would follow us
while we drag our chains two miles down the road to the chain spot.
When we got there he couldn't get it off. He said it was all tangled.
He suggested AAA, or calling a tow truck and then went looking for bolt
cutters and or a chain guy to help us. He found neither and left
wishing us a good luck.
Michelle, talking to Travis again said "WE'LL DO IT" so we got out of
the car to get the jack to jack up the car, remove the tire, and take
off the chains. But when we opened the trunk all our bags and stuff
from the wedding was in there on top of the tire and jack that we
needed. I was delirious by this time and I just went hysterical. I
started yelling and throwing all of the stuff out of the trunk. I
wasn’t mad, I was laughing and Michelle was busting up watching me. I
was throwing all our stuff into the snow and screaming “ I just want to
go home!!” I saw Michelle’s dress and suggested we put them on to add
to the fun. As I was doing this a black man came walking up to us crazy
girls making all the noise and asked if we were alright. I screamed “
no we are not alright” and I told him (still hysterically yelling) what
was wrong and that we were looking for a jack. He took a look at the
tire and in two seconds off came the chains. I was shocked, but
definitely not speechless. I continued to yell at him in doubt of his
accomplishment, thanking him, and I even offered to sing him a song… I
don’t know what kind of song I was offering to sing, but I offered. He
walked away and I told Shell to give him $20 so she went skipping after
him to offer it only to end up nearly in the street next to his car
like an idiot offering our money. He didn’t want it, but he was
interested in where we were headed. He was goin’ to the down town area
and was disappointed that we weren’t. When she got back into the car,
we were both still loud and delirious cracking up at ourselves.
We called him our Black Angle Man sent from God. God was definitely
laughing down at us. Boy!!! Does HE have a sense of humor. Just when we
were going to break down crying he provided an incompetent highway
patrol man with no common sense ( he had suggested us drive the rest of
the way to Reno dragging our chains which were still attached to our
breaklines…duh!!!!!), and then HE provided a black angel man who wanted
to party just when we were going crazy. After all this we
ended up at my house with bursting bladders and a great story.

| now I'm sick. I had a taste of it on friday, but now I have he full
fledged sore throat, joint aches, cough and runny nose. Dang
viruses!!! They take so long to go away. Pray that God would not allow
this to interfere with the great time I am going ot have with Michelle
in a couple days.
My Jon came over and made me lunch while I was sick:) We were all out
of soup, but he made a wonderful grilled cheese sandwich!!! He is so good to me!
