There is just something special about Old friends.
The past 2 days I got to hang out with my friends Jeff and Ryan. We were really great friends in High School and then after we all graduated there families moved to Georgia (they are cousins).
Even though I haven't seen them in years it didn't matter, the conversation was rich. There was a comfort level with them that's harder to obtain in newer friendships. Yeah, we have changed a lot in the past years but our hearts are still similar.
I feel blessed.
Now, don't get me wrong... I LOVE my new friends. God has done amazing things through the friendships.
I LOVE YOU GUYS!
Be Love.

Updating!
I know I know I know... I am horrible blogger... most people do it everyday yet I do it once a month! (if even)
Krista... this is for you more then anyone Else.
I just usually dont have much of anything to blog about. Dont get me wrong, I enjoy my life. I love simple pleasures. I could sit on my front stoop for hours with out moving, but is that really something that people want to read about? Me sitting!? Or the thoughts that go through my head as I sit?
Such as:
"wow, that grass is sooo green"
"hummm its soo interesting that birds hop, its like they have so much joy they cant contain it"
"Look that man is passing, oh gosh he is picking his nose... i bet most people pick there nose while they are driving."
"how can she say to me love will find a way, gather round all you clowns let me hear you say, hey you got to hide your love away."
I think not!!!
I will try to think of ways to make my life more exciting!
be LOVE.

Joy
I love finding joy in all aspects of life.
Yesterday while driving home I passed what looked like a 70 year old women driving singing her little heart out. It brought me sooooo much joy. I dont know why.. but it just did.

I am no longer wearing my winter coat because I am sick of it!
I AM READY FOR SPRING.
I love winter.. I really do, but come march I need warmer weather. I am a nature person, I experience God so much through his creation. I am hungry for it. I need a change in weather mentally as well. The end of winter is when i hit my low. I need to feel.
Be Love.

Memories
One thing that I miss A LOT about this past summer are my girls.
One of my biggest ways I feel love it through touch, and the girls that I lived with this summer and I really never held back. We would always play with each others hair, or scratch each others back... and as silly as it sounds.... I really miss that.
I also miss the people this summer that live by example. These people were missionaries. They have given up so much just to live the life that God has called them to live.
They lived by love.
I learned to live more and more by the spirit. I still do...... but it seems harder here. Stuff gets in the way.
I want to live free.
God, teach me to live free!
Be love.

Long Distance
I am 22 years old and still live with my parents.
The past week I have been house sitting for my aunt and uncle. They are in Arizona for 3 weeks. The other morning my 7 year old sister Bekah called me.
This is how the convo went:
Bekah: "Dana, you need to come home."
Dana: "why?"
Bekah: "Because I need you to do my hair for school."
Dana: "I'm sorry babe, I cant come home right now, but I will stop by in the next few days."
Bekah: "Ok, can you come on wednesday so you can come the 2nd grade musical?"
Dana: " Of course I wouldnt miss it for the world."
I love that girl sooo much.
On Wednesday I did go home, hung out with my family, and went to Bekahs Musical (which was 22 mins of singing and dancing)
After we got back home I told my sisters that I had to go and ask them for hugs and kisses. Bekah started to cry (which was really out of her character). She didnt realize that I had to go back and continue house sitting.
It kinda broke my heart.
I am moving out of the house in July. I Think its going to harder then I thought.
BE LOVE.

Mittens
This weekend my friend Kate and I took a trip to Holland Michigan to visit our friend Shauna.
I was just a lovely weekend. We laughed a lot. I like to laugh.
The 3 of us really enjoy speaking in British accents when we are together. We got lots of looks from people because they thought they were real. One man even wrote about in a journal he had. Funny huh?
Sunday on the drive home Kate and I stopped in a small Michigan town called Constantine. A dear friend of mine lives there, and since he kinda lives on the way home I told him we would stop for awhile.
His Grandpa told us to call him "bad Chucky". I really liked his grandpa.
We got caught in the snow strom on the way home. NO FUN! My friend only lives 2 hours away. The first hour went by fast, but the last 45 mins took us 3 hours. It was a stressful ride, but we made it home safe a sound.
Be Love.
