here's the thing, every year, i find myself saying, "I don't like halloween."
I don't know why, i just don't like it that much.
Every year, I decide on one costume and then change it last minute.
This year was different. I had some fun festivities for Halloween.

Roommate Halloween Party:

we made some of these cute cupcake Owls. Adorable huh?

some of the roommates and our owls.

group of owls=parliament.

next one of our friends had a small get together at their house.
this turned out to be a Cyclops pumpkin.

Lori, Ryleigh, and I

The Howl:
I told myself last year, "I'm not going to the Howl next year."
but, i went.
and it was SO fun. I'm glad I did. I would've missed out.

some of us were a Clan of Gypsies!

my whole costume. i really like the whole gypsy thing... i could be one.

my roommate Lori as Wendy Peffercorn (sandlot lifeguard).
her tag says, "Hi I'm Wendy Peffercorn, I can save your life." Classic.

my friend Eric as a nerd, in character and all.

madison and I

creepy dance since freshman year, aka. gorilla.

we even had gold coins to trade... chocolate of course!

love these girls.

kyle and me.

the best lookin gypsies in the whole Howl.

I'm so glad i went. i had a blast dancing, seeing friends, and enjoying company!

Today, I wish I had nieces and nephews to go trick or treating with.
Instead i guess i'll just lounge around in these puppies for the 6th year...

Happy Halloween.

everyday i see the obesity in America get worse and worse.
i see the people who waddle instead of walk.
i see the drive-thru at Taco Bell, McD's, and Wendy's get longer.
people are giving up.
people aren't taking care of their bodies.
they'd rather eat the greasy,"leave you wanting more food."
than the healthy foods.

what makes me even more upset is when i see a 5 year old
who ways 30 lbs less than i do.
and how tall are they, less than 3 ft?
and me, 5'11 3/4 (i went to the doctor today)
why do parents allow this to happen?
i couldn't imagine it's fun to be fat, isn't it miserable for them?
why would you want to make your child miserable?
why not put them on a team instead of infront of the computer?
is it because you're lazy? maybe...

well, i have news for you.
one day i will change this.


watch me.

"ready, set, hike!"
that's right, I Natalie, played on a powderpuff football team.
i loved every second of it. Even though we lost in double overtime, last down....
it was a blast. would have been better if it was tackle.
My mom stated the other day "maybe you were supposed to be a boy."
i love any sport, it's thrilling, exciting, it made me miss a team SO bad.
gah, i gotta find a league or something for basketball.
My friend Kade recruited my roommate Lori and I to be on the team.

us practicing after school before the game.

my roommate Lori was QB. and a bomb QB she was. Domination.

got through defense.

the team, we may not have won, but we got told more than once by multiples,
we were easily the best lookin team on the field.
sometimes that's better than being "beastly"
the sign says... "Kade, you may be hot, but your team is HOTTER."

we had to wear mouthguards.

ashley, lori, and i

...happy halloween...

dear fall,




thanks for being beautiful.

this weekend i get to see these two wonderful ladies:


Kristin and Quincy.
i have been friends with them since i was 2.
they kindly accepted me into their friend circle as "the new girl."
i have laughed more with these two girls than maybe anyone.
ridiculous things have gone on when we are together.
it never is awkward when we haven't seen each other for some time.
we pick up, right where we left off.
it's been too long since we've all hung out together.
and I CAN'T WAIT.

watch out Provo...
the blond, brunette, and red head are all back together.

I was looking up Physical Therapy Schools and pre-requisites today.

it was a little over-whelming.

there are too many.

I don't know how I'll ever decide.
Oregon, Texas, Arizona, Maryland,
Flordia, Colordado, Utah, California
Massachusetts,out of USA, ect.

but as for now. I guess i'll just add some more classes I need to get into PT school to my list of things to do, and see where the wind blows me.



enjoy the weekend :)
