About Me

http://www.annavandas.com/music
My name is Anna. I am a person... well, just a child... who loves Jesus. I have been spending this year balancing 3 huge passions of mine: painting, music, and dance. I am married to an amazing guy (Dave) who balances out my inadaquecies, and who pushes me to go for my passions where I might have otherwise cowered in a corner. We currently live in a school bus that's been converted into a little mobile home, and I go to a full-time dance school (www.dancebarnstudio) right beside us. It's kind of a budding artist-community where we live. We like traveling and exploring. I love children and the joy they bring to life just by being who they are. I love nature and am constantly rejuvinated and inspired by it. Life is a bunch of adventures, and it's too short to waste by doing anything that we're not passionate about. So go for it. There's nothing holding you back, and the best possible person you can be in life is you... who God made you to be.

yo yo new year.

I have to agree with my friend Becky, 2006 was hard. For me, at least. There was SO much hard stuff that God was wrenching me through, just to get me to unpry my fingers from the things I just don't...

money money money

Money. Seems to be the cause of a lot of people's woes and stresses and arguments lately. What is going on here? Are there people that are supposed to be donating to each other that aren't? Is God...

the Blue Bus

Yes, yes, I know... new hair, new background... it's a lot to handle. I think it's a result of all our change these days. I had to get on-board with this whirlwind! We also now have a new home. ...

hair dye

So I very impulsively dyed my hair last week. Yes, yes... I know. Everyone says that if you're a natural blonde, why go any other colour? But it was time. It was my first time...It was pretty fun....

A whole lot of unspecific rambling.

    Life is so funny.  You get thrown for some real twists, and I never know the possibilities of around the corner.  I try to plan and forecast what we're...
