Hey! I'm so glad that you decided to visit my blog! When I moved from Colorado to Alabama for college, I figured that this way the best way to write what's going on in my life without having to write a bunch of emails that say the same thing.

Car accidents and other freaky things

So, some of you might know about this already and if you do, deal with hearing it again!
I was freaked out when Adam called me and told me that my dad had been in an accident where this lady ran the stop light and about 45 mph and slammed into my dad. I rushed to the hospital with Adam just to walk in seeing him texting on his cell. It made me laugh and I felt way better, especially after I found out he had been texting me, Adam and Hay to let them know he was ok. After the amubulance took him to the hospital, they did a catscan on him and a bunch of other x-rays. When we got there he had just come out of MRI and was feeling a lot better, although (as Jimmy Fallon says it best in Fever Pitch) "he had a whole 'nother head up there!".
Thank God, he came out of it with a second head and a lot of bruises, a big cut on his arm and a lot of back and neck pain. It was an interesting Friday, and I have to just smile at how bad it could have been, but wasn't.
Anyway, not too much else going on except I am officially done with my first year of college in two weeks!!!!!! Can't wait, I'm sure you will all hear about the graduation and I'll try to post a picture in my cap 'n gown (my first ever!).
Love to all,
Natalie

P.S. Those of you wondering about the new van we recently bought, the whole rear driver's side including the tire and axle is gone. There's no repairing it. Ah, the power an F-150 smashing in to you can have!

Sick as a D-O-G

Sorry I haven't written in a while. I have been so sick I haven't been doing anything. Friday night I went to bed at 6:30! My family was at Adam's apartment, and I was so tired I fell asleep before we even had dinner. At 10 my parents woke me up and told me it was time to go home, so I drove home and went back to bed at 11. I slept until 10am on Saturday! Then we had youth on Saturday night so before that I took a 2 hour nap. Yeah, I was really tired. Then on Sunday morning I woke up for church and was so freakin sick. I got up just in time to get the last 5 minutes of church, then fulfill my duties in "chair ministry." (That's the lovely term that our school registrar gave us for setting up chairs for the school and church). I really don't mind doing, (in a really weird freaky way I think it's kind of fun.) But Sunday I was miserable! Anyway, we had our special once-a-month Sunday night training and I was coughing so much, the school dean, Ron, (I love the guy like a 2nd dad almost) came over and siad (right in my face like only Ron could) "Go home!" And he made me smile. So then I went home and my dad, my best boss in the world gave me the day off today! So now, I'm sitting here, sniffing and hacking (sorry for such a descriptive assesment of my current state of being), wow, could I sound more like a freak trying to use big words? Anyway, I'm not in a great state of mind right now so anything I say that doesn't make sense just forgive me! So, that is what is in my life right now. I have the week off of school (couldn't have come at a better time!) and tomorrow we're going to see Keith Urban live in concert!!!!! It's gonna be a blast!
Anyway, Happy V-Day tomorrow, don't worry if you don't have that special someone, you never know. He may come while you're sleeping!

Love to all!

Tristan and Isolde

Ok. I know I'm totally a nerd for talking about movies but this was so good! I asked Adam to take me and of course cause he's the best guy in the world, he said yes. But he was happy to find out that there was a lot of action in it. Of course, there was lots of romance, which was really good. I thought I should just tell people that it was such a good movie!

Just thought you should know! If you see it let me know what you think!

A really good quote

This is an amazing quote from a book that I read. It's the feelings of a girl who finds out the man she loves is already married. It's a classic, been around for a long time. Whoever can guess it gets ten cool points! (Man, does that remind one of Costa Rica Trip 2003 or what?)

A Christmas frost had come at midsummer; a white December storm had whirled over June; ice glazed the ripe apples, drifts crushed the blowing roses; on hayfield and cornfield lay a frozen shroud: lanes which last night blushed full of flowers, today were pathless with untrodden snow; and the woods, which twelve hours since waved leafy and flagrant as groves between the tropics, now spread, waste, wild, and white as pine-forests in wintry Norway.

Piano and Friends

I know I'm such a horrible person! I'm so sorry for not writing in such a long time. But it's just difficult cause the only time I have on a computer is at work. If anyone would like to donate a computer to me I'd GLADLY write everyday! (wink, wink) I would really appreciate that!
Anyway, still playing piano, loving it! I am trying so hard to grow my talents, I've decided that I need a real piano before I die. I AM going to own one. Don't get me wrong, keyboards are great, but you just can't beat the sound of a really great piano. The other day I played our church's baby grand during a break, it was so amazing! I totally didn't feel worthy!
Well, I know that everyone says they're really busy, but I barely have time to think! Good thing breathing isn't a conscious thought or I'd be dead for sure!
Anyway, I'm loving life here. Scholl is good. Job is good. Fam's good. We have a new registrar for school, she works right next to me, she's so awesome! She's so funny I'll just be sitting at my desk and she'll say something to someone walking by and I'll crack up! I love her to death.
There's also a girl that just joined school and her name is Natalie! She's really fun and stuff, but I've never known what it felt like to know someone else with the same name, so it's pretty darn weird.
That's what's going on with me. Please comment and let me know all your thoughts!
Love to all,
Natalie
