Jimmy Eat World

I recently went to the Jimmy Eat World concert with Luke (Dan's little bro) and we had a lot of fun. This is the third time I have seen them in concert and they get better every single time!! I love concerts, hopefully this summer will be filled with them!

San Francisco

In September 2007, my friends and I decided to run away for a week and visit the wonderful town of San Francisco, CA. It was a blast! We spent a lot of time riding BART and shopping the streets of chinatown, but we also found time to visit the famous Golden Gate Bridge. We had a ton of fun wandering the streets and just being our goofy-selves.

Should've Been a Cowboy...

After years of deep contemplation and a little encouragement from me, Dan finally realized that being a cowboy is where it's at. Fortunately, he decided to keep a little of that hardcore rocker in him as well...I think he looks pretty good either way!

Ceska Republika

Dan has been on his misison for nine months now and he is loving every minute of it. So far he has served in three areas. His first area was a town called Zlin where he served with his trainer, and favorite companion ever, Elder Loveridge. He stayed in Zlin for a transfer or two and was then transferred to the beautiful city of Prague. He loved it in Prague, especially when he was able to take early morning runs across the Charles Bridge on his p-days. He was just recently transferred to Brno, the second largest city in the Czech Republic. He is now a senior companion, training a brand new missionary. He is excited for the experience of training and in doing so, he has quickly realized just how far he has progressed with the language. He loves the people in the Czech Republic and has made many friends in the short seven months he has been there. The first thing that Dan really liked about the Czech Republic was what they call "Rohliks." They are a soft, breadstick like food that can be found all over the Czech Republic. Dan's favorite food is bread and therefore it was a welcome site for him to see that they love breadsticks so much!

From the beginning...

Dan and I met during the summer of 2003. Our friends started hanging out together and consequently we became friends as well. I wasn't too interested in Dan but he liked me and so I went along with it. I thought it would be a typical teenage relationship-date for a week or two and then call it off-but it obviously didn't work out that way. We started spending a lot of time together and before we knew it, we were falling more and more for each other every day. I quickly realized what an incredible person he is and I fell in love with him without even realizing what was happening. We dated all three years of high school, becoming best friends in the process. We shared so many moments together, both good and bad. We told each other everything and we just knew that we had something special, something different. After high school we continued dating through our first year of college at BYU. On March 1st, 2007 Dan received his mission call to the Prague, Czech Republic mission. We spent every spare minute we had together until he left on July 18th, 2007. So far that is the story of Dan and Colbie, but don't worry...it will be continued soon!
