I have been inspired.

by a blog.

lame, I know.

Whatever.

If you know me, you know I LOVE mod podge. There is absolutely no point in crafting without it.

So, Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present to you,

Mod Podge Rocks.

So go ahead, be inspired. I LOVE THIS!

A little thing I like to call...

Summer.

What is summer, you may ask?

It is snowcones, swimming, shorts, sandals, snails.

Well not snails, I just liked the alliteration that was happening.

Anywho, I wish I had pictures to post, because I really like blogs, but just blogs with pictures. Lots of pictures.

Instead, I will give you a fine little list of my life at the moment.

10. APE class with Dr. Houston.

He is SO funny. Seriously though.

9. I moved into my apartment with S and E.

We have the cutest apartment. Ever. All thanks to my wonderful apartment-mates.

8. I am going to watch So. Much. TV. This. Summer.

Really though. I have watched 4 movies in the past 2 days.

7. I am working.

20 hours per week.

6. I have already filled up one and a half snow cone punch cards.

Judge me.

5. I MISS A.T. and T.H.W..

Abigail=Bestie, Taylor=Sister. I need them back in my life.

4. I am going to see Iron Man 2 at midnight.

I have not seen a midnight premiere till last summer. So pumped.

3. I miss Taytayfonaynay and JedlyJoe.

When your best friends move home, life stinks.

And yeah, I know home is a whopping 25 minutes away. Still sad though.

2. I am really running out of things to say.

1. We are watching Baby Mamma.

Excellence.

Well I will blog this summer, alot I am sure.

Peace, love, and snowcones.

My current loves...

1. Snow Cones.

2. The movie "That Thing You Do".

3. My friends.

(SO MUCH)

Will I blog instead of writing my Bible paper that is due Monday?

Obviously.

Will I take this time to show you all some of my banquet pictures?

Obviously.

Will I stop writing stupid questions that no one actually answers?

Obvi- Just kidding.

Btw- I have no idea why this is underlined.

Anywho,

Banquet!!

We are SO sassy.

(Side note: I can't put into words how excited/happy/pumped/pleased/thrilled/blessed whatever happy words that T is at OC. Just thought I would inform you of that.)

We kept saying, "Hey, we don't have a picture together yet!" 24 pictures later, you get this.

Roommates next year? Yes, please! I am SO excited. Love this girl.

My favorite picture of freshmen year.

Duh.

Some people go watch movies, or go do something lame. Not us. We go bowling. So cool, I know.

In other, mostly unrelated news, I am running for Sophomore Class Vice President.

Vote Natalie Howard.

And to whoever stole my rockin' campaign signs, you are not very nice, and I wish you had not done that.

And to whoever committed Voter fraud, Really? Voter fraud for class VP? Come on. Now we have to revote. Again.

Welp, work is over, and I have done nothing for the past hour.

I. Love. Admissions.

Duces, Kiddo.

Why talk, well, er um, write....

Baha. She was so angry...

Dirty Dougie!

I need her.

Perfect friends.

Brother!

Yeah. Those are footie pjs...

Awkward family photo. Perfect

LOVE.

We bought them cokes. And loved it. (Us and them :))

I love her, and I love 16th!

Laura, I love you and miss you already.

Brick (MUD) Crew! Excellent!

yeah, that is Sarah Risley's handwriting...

Sugar High? CHECK!

Eduardo, friends forever.

I taught him everything he knows.

No way, Josue

when I can say it in pictures???

Well well well.

That is all I can say.

The other thought that comes to mind is Ay Papi.

Do you ever just have one of those "Uhg" days/weeks/months?

That feels like what my post Mexico life is going to be.

I am concerned that I am becoming a melodramatic winey people, so I will try to take a chill on the complaining.

Mexico was great. And when I say great, it was horrible also, but I had to get over myself and realize why I was there. The trip not being perfect for my little self-centered, um self, made me realize how much I am always focused on myself. Like in this paragraph, I have already used a personal pronoun 9 times. Jee Wiz. Anyways. I went down with a lot of expectations of what I wanted, where I was going to go, all the big things that I was going to do.

Then God slowed me down and said, "Really, Natalie? Who do you think is in control here?"

I saw the people that I go to school with, live near, and spend all of my time with completely open up and serve. I didn't know people could love like that, but they can. It was entirely refreshing and wonderful.
