I was challenged by a friend to find a high school picture and post it on my “Who I Am” page.  In the digging I came across a book that I put together in 1983 to give to Mark to show him a little history of who I was growing up.  It was crazy to look at again after all these years.  Lots of “firsts”.  Some of you know me from some of these “earlier” years….I’m sure this seems silly, but it was somehow therapeutic today…:-)

My First Day…

My First Swimsuit –

My First Baby Brother – (is it just me, or does this eerily resemble the pic of Blake and Mitchell on my earlier post????)

My First Wedding (flower girl three times that year)

My First Day Of School (in the dress daddy bought me)

First Grade –

My First Missing Teeth And First Really Bad Haircut

My First Bike And First VW Bus (years later I would crash our 2nd) –

My First Puppy –

My First Second Brother –

My First “Photo Shoot” –

My First (and only) Yellow Page Ad –

My First (and, again, only) Tiara –

My First Senior Picture –

So that was a glimpse of my life before real life actually began.  I have aged considerably, hopefully matured a little, but ask Jesus daily to keep the same child’s heart inside me.  Joy and pain and life have had their way with my face, my body.  And hopefully they have also had their way with my heart to make it softer, gentler and more childlike…

Let's stay connected!

I promise to send some encouragement your way, and a bit of hope for the soul...

xo, jana
