Dear Blogosphere has been my online journal for over seven years. It has followed me along a journey of education and growth. It is where I have shared adventures, delights, and thoughts with my family, friends, and the world-at-large.
Today, I find myself contemplating on God, religion, hope, and love. I converted to Roman Catholicism at Easter Vigil of this year. I am still learning about my faith and know I will continue to learn and experience it for eternity. So lately I have been sharing my thoughts on my faith.
Please join me on this journey. Share your thoughts.
I've been a tiny bit blue today, largely due, I think, to the chaos in my tiny apartment and lack of anything Natalie-esque on the walls (and the big ugly spider I encountered in my bathroom). Fortunately tonight I am the lucky recipient of text messages from my dear Caitlin. For example: "I'm going to write a resume with my realistic accomplishments in life, like knowledge of every Ludacris guess verse ever and proficiency in awesomeness." Mine include: memorization of all Billy Joel songs, producing great work under pressure, enthusiasm, seriously fantastic procrastination skills, and ability to pick up on other peoples' funks.
Regardless, I want to share the opening to the 2011 Tony Awards with you... in case I already haven't made you watch it in person:
It's been fascinating to watch the disagreements about the intentions of Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the evilness/goodness of the musical, etc, unfold on my friends' Facebook walls. I've largely kept out of them, except to mention how fantastic this song is:
Anyway, back to packing. I'll leave you with this gem of a song written at BYU:
I like the idea of writing a resume with honest and random accomplishments. Mine include: vast experience painting walls and making sugar cookies, proven worrier, self-taught quilter and extensive knowledge of dance history.
Mine will include: can't spell rap correctly, experienced driver on the Pennsylvania turnpike, have random knowledge of historical facts of the 1840s-1860s in Utah, Nevada and California, hamburger taste-tester, electrician.
Welcome to Dear Blogosphere! I am Natalie, a 20-something PhD student, a Catholic neophyte, and a newlywed. This blog has served many purposes and is now a place for me to collect and share my thoughts as a new Catholic Christian.

I had forgot about that fine Mormon wrap. Happy packing!

Haha, I love this. I want to do an entire blog post dedicated to my realistic resume.
