Hello World!
My name is Dana. I am 27 years old. I was born in Colorado, but now I live in the Great Lakes region of the United States. I have been married for five years, one month, four days, and eight and a half hours. :D My husband's name is Andy. He works for a commercial HVAC company. I am employed with a local grocery store deli. We are a year and five days apart in age with him being older. We just had our first and only child five months ago. Dylan is a joy to have around.

My immediate family minus my dad in 2008

I decided to start this blog to let my voice be heard. I've found, as a first time mom, that my thoughts are often pushed aside in caring for my family. I just don't want to be forgotten in the mix. I've always enjoyed a well written book, story, etc. I have been debating on doing this for awhile. I surrendered. Here it is. I sincerely hope you enjoy.
