who is Natalie….
I LOVE ummm Jesus 1st and foremost- that is like the only thing worth mentioning. He is like the love of my life. The apple of my eye. The sing in my song. You know when you have those irreplaceable moments with friends or fam and you think “this is what it is all about”…. well He made those moments and I live for them! They are what make this temporal life worth living-
Why? Cause He loves for us to experience the goodness off Him on this side of Heaven. So why? So we can bring these moments to all we meet, eat and do life with. So our life is an expression of the unexpressable. It is why we are here, to show the world that there is a further off place called heaven and it is going to be like the Place You Wanna Be!!!! Forever.
So while we are here let’s do what the God made man did while here on earth…. LOVE… LOVE.. LOVE… No conditions, no strings, just pure Jesus-style love living 
Things that make me smile: great friends, nice jeans, pizza, HOT TEA, flip-flops, iced coffee, movie nights, SURPRISES- love them, nature, jokes that I get, listening to people with accents, hummus, garlic anything! Ha, really though. Love missions work, love to read a good book, LOVE to listen and love to talk about the Lord- what He is doing and pretty much anything pertaining to Him. He consumes my life and I am A okay with that. I am also a sucker for star gazing, hiking or biking and dancing when no one is around!
Things that cause me to frown: saying goodbye, bad endings to movies or just plain bad movies, when I wake up and realize I need more sleep, fighting, arguing or complaining- there is not enough precious time for this nonsense. So that is all I can really think of- I will add if something else comes to my mind 
Don’t move…I mean that’s awesome your moving to Africa
I love you
HEY NATALIE!
I ran into Kristen tonight at the home depot. She told me that it is your birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRL! I have been catching up with your blog and I must admit that I get choked up when I read what God is doing in your life and what the future holds for you. Please call Jen to let her know when we can get together, I would like to cook a good meal for you before you leave on your adventure. if you don’t have her number look us up in the P,ville phone book.
Your brother,
