Write anything about Jana. Let’s create a fun board to read through for her 40th birthday.

# data[].attributes.body
Jana,

Happy 40th!! Something I am always thinking about you is, how nice and caring you are. You have been so wonderful to my children and family these last years in so many ways. We are grateful for your friendship. We are also lucky we live close to you in our neighborhood!

When Jim was hurt, you helped us with our kids and in many other ways. I'll never forget that;)

I hope you have the best 40th Birthday ever!

I am not saying Jana is stubborn But. One weekend we were at the cabin and I was in a hurry to go somewhere. Jana was watching tv still in her pajamas. I got her clothes out and tried to dress her. She fought me saying she wanted to do it herself. I finally got her dressed and I went to the pickup. No Jana. I went back in the house and here she was naked and looked at me and said I told you I wanted to do it myself. All I could do was wait until she got dressed. Hard to believe that little girl is 40 now with her own great family. I am so proud of you Jana. Happy birthday l love you Dad

Happy Birthday Jana!! You don’t look a day over 30 ❤️ hope you have an incredible day and that you know how much you are loved by so many others, including me🫶

It’s been a pleasure knowing you all these years and watching you raise an amazing family, all while tolerating Mike ;-).

But seriously, cheers to a new decade that will hopefully be filled with love and adventure!

Happy birthday to a wonderful person! From the eyebrow piercing days, everything Wisco, and all the adventures in life that have us still friends 20+ years later is truly remarkable! Your leadership, drive, and friendly spirit draw everyone into your company in the most positive way! Cheers Jana!

I had met Jana a while back briefly during a Bucks camp where my kids were participating. I remember thinking, I want to be friends with her … she looks like a cool mom. Fast forward 2 years later and we end up meeting again during soccer. I finally get to be friends with Jana! So cool, so hip and stylish, such a kind heart and wonderful spirit. As we walk to our cars at the end of practice I look at her and go… WAIT is that your car? OMG the car doesnt match the person. We have laughed at this one for a while. Love you girlie! Happy Birthday and cheers to being an amazing human!

Happiest of birthdays Jana White!!! Meeting your family over swim lessons and than soccer, I’ll never forget those early years of our families friendship. You have always stuck out to me as such a loyal, kind friend/mom and also thankful to have met you. Cheers to another year, looking forward to some time together soon.

Happy birthday, Jana! Girl, you look amazing for 30, let alone 40. You are an awesome (among other things, soccer) mom, wife (as I know Mike agrees), and a business woman! You kick butt in all areas, and I'm happy to know you. I hope you have a great birthday and a year ahead.

Happy, happy birthday to an incredible person! I’m truly in awe of how you juggle everything with such grace. I’ve absolutely loved our conversations over the years-whether at play date pick-ups and drop-offs, sports practices, or our village club chats-and I’m so grateful to know you. I can’t wait to continue the journey as we watch our kiddos grow up together! Wishing you a fantastic 40th year!

Jana,

Happy 40th birthday to you! We hope you have a day filled with the laughter and joy you bring to others. Over the years it has been great getting to know and love you.

Jana,

Happy Birthday! I always admire your sense of adventure and up for anything spirit! I would say only about .00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000002% of the worlds population would be up for marrying Mike, but look at you!!! Obviously one of my most favorite memories with you is when you opened your home to Miranda and I and we were able to all share a spiritual evening together at Zach Bryan. I appreciated that you didn’t judge me for the all of the diarrhea and even let me better get to know your beautiful children.

But truly, you are the best and I am always amazed at how steady, poised and calm you are . You live each day with intention and set a beautiful example for your children (and friends). Hope you have a wonderful birthday and 40th year ❤️

Sweet Jana, I am so fortunate that our paths crossed 16 (!!!) years ago in that little college town and has continued ever since - through moves, babies, and life's chaos. You are one of a kind and I am so grateful for you (and Mike's daily memes). Wishing you a happy, happy birthday and let's get on that Phillies-Brewers game plan very soon. ILYSM!!

-Kate (& Kevin, Clayton, and Brendan, too)

I'll always remember the days when we came to visit Grandma Ellen in Madison and you lived in the house behind her. We had countless laughs at the "kid's table" during the holidays and made lots of memories. Hard to believe we are in our 40s now! Wishing you and your family the very best for many years to come. Happy Birthday!

Love,

Zac, Leslie, & Emma

I remember when you came back to interview for a real job, I kept having to correct you before you moved on to the other rounds of the interview that it was the Georgia-Florida game, not the other way around….alphabetical order be damned!!! I’d also like to apologize for being the best damn dancer at the wedding ;) oh and happy birthday

Happy 40th birthday Jana! I think back to the days of family gatherings and running around laughing and going to watch you in all your sports throughout high school. It’s been a blessing to be your cousin and watch your family grow! Can’t believe we’ve gotten to these ages! Happy birthday Jana- wishing you a year full of happiness, love and many more memories with your beautiful family! Love, Cousin Meg & Dustin

Jana My darling girl, you have filled our lives with so much love, laughter, and happiness.

We have shared so many happy memories and as you approach this special day of your life, know that you are in our hearts forever and ever. We love you, Mom and Alan.

Happy 40th Birthday Jana! Although we don’t see each other often you are one of the people I’m genuinely excited to hear is going to be at a tailgate or some other event that I’m at. No matter how crazy these events are you always take time to ask how I’m doing and what is new in my life, and I always look forward to hearing how things are going in yours. Your kindness is unmatched and I’m fortunate to have gotten to know you over the years. Until the next time I see you I hope the kids and Mike spoil you on your birthday. Have a wonderful birthday you deserve it!

We absolutely love that we get to spend time together cheering our boys on at soccer, even though we’re definitely the loudest ones on the sidelines—especially when Coach Mike is coaching them! 😂 You are such an awesome, loyal friend, the best mom and wife, and someone we can always count on. We are so lucky to have you in our lives.

Cheers to 40! Though honestly, you don’t look a day over 30! May this be your best year yet, filled with joy, love, and all the happiness you deserve.

Love,
Your Serbian fam – The Bjelic’s

Happy 40th Birthday Jana! I hope you are out celebrating somewhere in leather or sequin shorts! Don’t let anyone ever tell you they are out of style (or too short). I am grateful for our friendship and the fact that it can pick up whenever and wherever. Thanks for staying connected, convincing me to run a half marathon (supposed to be full) in Madison when I just wanted to drink beer and eat cheese as well as always making the effort. Until next time, lots of love friend, Carolyn

# data[].attributes.body
We are all so thrilled to be asked to be part of your special birthday. Sending you congratulations on joining the 40 club. It’s really not that bad! We all have such fond and special memories from our time living in America getting to know you. The girls still remember you helping them learn to dive in our pool, and cheering them on (despite the frequent belly flops!).  Plus an honorable mention for the time you thwarted Mike’s attempt to feed the girls dog biscuits in an effort to cure Eleanor’s fear of dogs. Hope you have the best day and enjoy all your celebrations.

With all our love from across the pond,

Dan, Hanna, Eleanor and Madeleine

40 and fabulous. The Wisconsin girl got to return to her roots. Appreciate you letting us come into your lives. Watching your children grow from the start of the twins first, it’s been a journey and so special to be able to know you. Your hospitality in Peoria was much appreciated and your eye for all things decorating is appreciated . Celebrate you and your 40. God bless you in the next 40;) Fondly, Lori Larson

Jana,

We are part of an exclusive group of women to have married a 2001 Mahomet boy. The fun times and stories we can share are priceless!

We see each other less often now, but I love that we can pick right back up over some coffee in our comfy clothes when you visit. I admire your business sense and willingness to share it with others, your support of Mike's endeavors (and your fortitude for his antics), and most of all your commitment to your children. May the next decade be your best yet. Happy 40th birthday!

Carrie (and the Johnston boys)

Thank you for finally joining us! This club is joyous, it is freeing, and it is motivating- so I know you will enjoy it. Seriously, what a season of life you are in. And only God knew you’d be in this exact spot raising 3 kiddos, building businesses, and living your life to the fullest. As you step into this new decade may you continue to inspire design and creativity while joyously laughing (at) with your hubby and kiddos. We are so fortunate to have been introduced to you in Gville and stayed connected all these years. Now, we’ve gotta make some new memories in the Midwest with the minivan load of kiddos we all have😜

All our love, always! The Wells

I am forever thankful for your friendship! I’m so glad you and Mike joined our “cult” and were always the glue that kept us together!

You are so many things to me but here are some of my favorites- fellow twin mom, the only person I will Polo, my only friend who’s made it on a sister text chain, my very active travel planner, fellow interior design lover, and the keeper of all my secrets:)

You are an incredible and endlessly loyal friend, wife, mom, daughter and cheerleader to so many. I could go on but I now you’re already wildly uncomfortable!

Love you,

Laurin

Happy birthday to one of my absolute favorite humans on the planet! I am so dang happy you were born and even happier that God chose us to be sisters in law. I admire you in every single way- motherhood, friendship, and just being someone who can do it ALL! So grateful for your friendship, advice, wisdom, grace, and the calm you bring to all the chaos. I could go on and on, but I’ll leave it at this: I simply couldn’t do life without ya 💓 LOVE YOU & cheers to many more!

Happy Birthday to my beautiful friend! From the moment we met, we knew we’d connect. We’ve shared so many deep conversations and vulnerable moments. Though we’re in different phases of life, I love how we can talk for hours and always find common ground. I truly cherish our friendship. Wishing you a beautiful day filled with sunshine and joy—have an amazing 40th!

Love -

Welcome to the 40 Clerb! How are you 40 when I'm still 32? I hope you have the BEST birthday because you truly deserve it. I mean - you have to put up with Mike White on a daily basis! You are for sure getting the VIP treatment in heaven. Haha!

I'm so grateful for that obnoxious stork announcement sign in our front yard that kicked off an amazing friendship not only between us but our husbands and kids. We have so many awesome memories together: comedy shows, concerts, backyard bbqs, play dates, Kohler trip, coming to my 40th bday, dinners, ski trip and surprising grumpy Mike for his bday are just a few🤣  You are such a blessing to all those who know you. You are an incredible mom, wife, daughter and friend. I will never forget when I stopped by your house for the first time to drop off a little gift to welcome you to the neighborhood. The boys were tiny little babes. You welcomed me in and I helped you feed them. I can only imagine how difficult it was for you to have two brand new twin boys in a new city. But you made the best of it! I'm so grateful to have had you as a neighbor and I wish you still were. Pop-A-Shot or BUST! Haha! Thank you for always being an incredible friend! Love you and Happy 40th 🩷 - Karen Kepple

From meeting in the alley during naptime to exchange bulk size food boxes our kids all of a sudden hated to taking up the entire trail with our side by side double strollers on “warm” February days — the gift of your friendship in the early motherhood years is one I will forever cherish. I don’t think I would have survived these first few years away from family and everything I’d ever known if it wasn’t for your invites to destroy the basement on stir crazy winter afternoons or the early morning workouts we suffered through together. Our walks and talks were truly a lifeline. I DO NOT SAY THIS LIGHTLY, YOU ARE BLESSING IN MY LIFE. I thank God for the 40 year old you 😘😘

Every time I think of anything Jana related, the glue that holds it all together, is what comes to mind. Her wild, crazy, beautiful family, or bringing families together for events (or vacations 😎) she truly is a rockstar. So cheers to you my friend, you deserve the most fabulous birthday!

No way you’re 40!!! You’re aging like fine wine—graceful, timeless, and only getting better. Some of our best family memories revolve around you, and it’s no surprise—you’re the glue that holds us together.

You are truly the Type A personality this wild Type B family desperately needed. Without you, there would be no vacations, no perfectly coordinated family photos, and certainly no events starting on time with all the fine details planned. You bring order to our chaos in the best way possible.

When I think of you, the first things that come to mind is your smile, contagious laugh, and, of course, them long leeeeeeegs! But on a deeper level, it’s the way you make everyone around you feel truly seen, loved, and valued. You have this incredible ability to connect with people, remembering every name (which is impressive, considering the Whites have way too many friends!).

I’ve always looked up to you like a big sister. Whether it was passing down your hand-me-down clothes or giving me heartfelt advice when I got married and bought my first house, you’ve always gone out of your way to show how much you care. You’ve been one of my biggest cheerleaders, and that means the world to me.

I’m so glad you and Mike both showed up to that yoga class all those years ago—Mike, you’re a genius for that one!

Jana, I love you so much, and I hope you have the best birthday EVER!

Happy 40th Birthday Jana! You are such a sweet, kind, and happy person. I feel so happy and honored to know! You and Mike are such great parents, your kids are beautiful and blessed to have such adventures with you!!

Something I really enjoyed was the last time our group of ladies was at your house you had us share something that was a highlight and lowlight of our past year. I believe you said it’s something your family does. It sparked some great conversations and really opened people up to knowing more about each other and I enjoyed and appreciated that!

Enjoy your special day🎂🎉

It’s been so long since you left Gainesville that my iPhone library doesn’t have any pictures from your time here. I had to dive deep into the Facebook archives to find this gem of you showing proper respect to the HBC, Steve Spurrier.

And then there was the bomb you dropped about having twins!! Always so exciting and fun with you. We miss you living in the Heights, but happy you’re back in Badger’s country. Cheers to You!!!

First let me start by saying how proud I am of you and to be your sister! You have made quite a life for yourself...and 3 beautiful sassy kids who I'm honored to be called their Aunt! Mike had said to write a message or favorite memory...well I'm doing both! I wastrying to think of a memory and the one that always sticks out is when you were about six and at my moms house. Dad was coming to pick you up from seeing Lance and I. Of course you followed your brother around like you always did...but when it was time to go you climbed in the back of the truck in the cab. You sat down on a bucket or something and looked at us and said "but dad, how will I have an oxygen?" I have never forgotten that story, and when I look at your kids that's something I can definitely see Deano saying!

I hope you have a fabulous 40th birthday! Love you!

Jen

It’s been wonderful getting to know you in our small group. Kindness and poise radiate from you and your smile and openness are very welcoming. I pray that God continues to bless you and your loved ones. May the year ahead be filled with joy, laughter, health happiness, and countless, priceless memories.

# data[].attributes.body
One of my all-time favorite Jana memories involves her sharing with Laurin and me that, “You’re so grateful that Mike doesn’t really love back massages” to which he replied, “Oh my goodness! They’re my favorite thing ever, but I gave up hinting that I wanted one cause I assumed you wouldn’t do it!” 😂

Y’all remain, hands-down, our funniest friends, and I’m so thankful that we’ve been able to stay connected after all these years, despite the distance. I am personally grateful that Laurin has a best friend in you, Jana, and I know that it will survive the next 40 years as well.

Y’all are a blessing. We are so grateful. Happy 40th birthday, Jana!!

I think the thing that sticks out most in my mind about Jana is what she meant to my mother, grandma Hegg. She was the joy of my mother‘s life. I still remember stories about her cutting through the backyard and climbing the fence to see grandma. Here’s to 40 amazing years, I hope you have a wonderful day. Congratulations Jana!

I can’t believe that it will soon be 40 years since I first met you. I worked at the hospital that you were born at and was the first person to see you besides your Mom and Dad. I remember how happy they were having a beautiful baby girl. When I saw you I remember how special it was that I could be a part of that day. You have grown into such a beautiful person and have passed this along to your children. I’m proud of all of the things you have accomplished in your life thus far. I say that because I know there is more to come. Can’t wait to see what comes next.

Love you and have a great Birthday!!

My dear friend, hard to believe you’ve been in my life for only a few years instead of near lifetime. In the trenches of some tough kid years, sweating it out at the VC and all the stuff in between.

In second grade, Jana decided that school was too boring and headed to her Grandma Ellen’s house. She didn’t go in but crawled up into our boat parked there and spent the afternoon. We found her after some searching when the school called to tell us she wasn’t there. It wasn’t proper behavior which we discussed but I also thought it showed her independence and resourcefulness. Deciding to leave school but not going into her grandma so she’d get sent right back. It’s been part of her always. She’s done it her way in school in work and in being a wife and Mom. She’s excelled at them all. So proud!!

Jana,

I am forever grateful you brought your kids to our school so I could meet you and enjoy this wonderful friendship!

You’ve provided me so much guidance just in the way you parent your kids, treat your friends and prioritize your marriage.

I look forward to all the adventures with kids, hikes up the hill, paddle boarding in lakes (even though I had no idea you hate lakes 😆) and many more vacations to come!

Love you!

My most vivid memory is the first time I met my potential daughter in laws.  You in Athens and Alyssa in Champaign.  There are a few times during your life that events will be burned into your memory.  You know when you meet someone it will change the direction of your life forever.  You will get to witness this feeling with Dean and Charlie bring the one home or they take you somewhere to meet them.  You will realize how this decision will affect the entire family dynamic and your sons’ future forever.  Luckily I been very fortunate.  I cannot tell you about having a daughter, but usually the mother gets the trump card in those relationships.  Just glad you are Mike’s partner in this journey.

Love, Ron

I admire your strength, your calm in the midst of everything, your intelligence, your caring ways, your athletic abilities!, your great recipes 😊, your organizational skills , the way you take care of family, your trip planning, your love of Jesus, and the way you care for all of us!

I so appreciate how great of a mom you are to Charlie, Dean, and Wynnie, how lucky. Mike is to have you, and how you are such a joy to us and your family.

You are truly one of a kind. I am so thankful you introduced yourself and old Miss Mya. The trajectory of our lives forever changed. Megan was right when she told me-“ I met this other mom, Jana, she is great and you will love her”. She was right! From strangers to best friends in a short amount of time, I can’t imagine my life without you. You bring joy to all who know you. You love my kids as your own. You are so real & honest in the most beautiful way. You are an amazing mother. I love that you are the female version of Scott. I love doing life with you and your family. I am blessed to call you my friend. Thank you for all your love and support and friendship. You are one of a kind❤️❤️ I can read this out loud to you and give you lots of hugs to make sure you realllllly know just how much I mean it 🙃 I love you mama j.

Here come some words of affirmation!

You're amazing, and I'm so grateful to have you as a friend. You're always down for an adventure-as long as it fits into your schedule, wraps up before 9 pm, and preferably involves a physical challenge or climbing a literal hill. You're a true gem, one of a kind, and your subtle sense of humor absolutely kills me. You're never getting rid of me at this point so here's to more laughs, hills, and even a night out here and there!

Love you buddy,

Meg

Jana, Bana, Fofana.

When I think of Jana, I think of words that rhyme like banana.

Or, maybe we’re not even saying it right. What if it’s been pronounced Jayna this whole time.

Food for thought.

Anyway, happy birthday my mate. Get weird with it, break the law a little, get a felony, serve a sentence or two in your forties. Let loose. Why not?

You have a beautiful, loving and caring heart that has blessed many friends and family. 💕

My favorite story was in 2022 when we were at the cabin. The kids and I were on the lake, and Wynnie fell in. And she wanted to come in back to shore, and she wanted you to come rescue her. When her and I were swimming back to shore, and we got to the weeds by the dock.And she kept saying she wanted you, and you got all ready to go get her, but you stopped in your tracks and went " I'm sorry Wynnie, there's weeds!" So I had to rescue Wynnie!

The best part of that story was the look on your face and the tone of voice you had when you saw the weeds and said that! It makes me giggle thinking about it!

Love you

Happy 4oth Birthday, Jana! You are such a special person that deserves to be celebrated everyday. I am so grateful that life brought us together. We have so many great memories together that always make me laugh. I can't see Lionel Richie and not think of you. Wishing you a special year full of health, happiness and endless laughs. You have accomplished so much and should be so proud of the wife, mother and friend you are. Cheers!
