Well as you can see from Angelee's blog, Jana and I have had are ups and downs (by that I mean that I am usually standing up and Jana is laying down due to the massive injuries!) I do remember a few funny moments with her that I will share.
1. One day I went over to the Robertsons to spend the night with Jana. The next day for some reason we decided to start wrestling (I know, seems so out of character for either one of us) so fists flew, people were down on the ground and all of a sudden Jana screams out in pain. Naturally I stopped to see what the problem was and Jana ran into a corner and appeared to be crying. I immediately went to apologize and Jana holds out what appeared to be a huge mole. Well unfortunately I was a pretty stupid kid and so I started to cry because I felt so bad and at that point Jana bursts into laughter. Its true that I did rip her mole off her back but the crying was a big act. If I had any sense I would have charged her for my doctor work and laughed in her face!
2. Here is the other funny story that came to mind, this happened about 2 years ago. Michael and I decided to come out to Utah and visit. We were at Jana's and LaNell aka The Brownie Monster came over. LaNell had recently been told about a nice 1 mile hike and since it was a beautiful day we all decided to hike and then wade in the lake. At this time Jana had Benj and I believe she was pregnant with the Pac Man. We know that LaNell hikes Everest every other weekend so a one miler isn't going to put a dent in her. I'm sure that in LaNell's mind she was thinking "great, I get to hike with a pregnant lady and her kid and 2 chubbies that think there exercise consists of walking to the car, getting out of the car at the 7v and walking in to get their Dr.Peppers for the day." I actually thought that I could make it but I was the first one to quit due to the fact that it sounded as though a train was walking up a hill. About 5 minutes after me Michael states that he didn't think the trail we were on was the right one so he said, "why don't you guys check it out and see where it leads, I'll wait right here." Second one down and two to go! About 5 minutes after that Jana who is carrying a kid starts to lose her zip and tells LaNell that she should go on without her. LaNell walks a few more steps and then decides to stop since her entire party is sitting on three different rocks waiting for her. Later on LaNell told me that she and Jana didn't even make it 1/2 a mile haha. The trip was fun even though LaNell still tries to get donations for the gas she said she wasted driving to the place, LaNell you know you loved getting all that marital advice from Michael!!
Good times Jana! I think your a great mom and friend.
