Dear Blogosphere

About Dear Blogosphere

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.

Love, Natalie

My Little Cow School

wants me.

Snagged from here.

Got word today that I have been accepted to the PhD program here!

YAY!

I am so happy and so excited! I had to hold myself back from screaming into the phone when I got the call. I then proceeded to spastically jump around my apartment whilst calling my mom.

I'm a happy Aggie. (Can you tell how hard it is for me to not fill this post up with exclamation points?!)

I was so nervous I wouldn't get in. The nightmares I've had, Dear Blogosphere, the nightmares!

HAPPY Wednesday!

P.S. Still waiting for the word from three other programs so I'm not 100% certain I'll stay here. But... well... :-)

Te Amo

Because anything looks classy in my wine glasses.

I went grocery, etc, shopping yesterday evening and gave into my love of conversation hearts. I had three options: en Español, BIG hearts, and sparkly, tart ones. I'm not a fan of the large ones, and the idea of my candy being sparkly freaks me out a tad, so Spanish it was!

One of my most memorable dates involved an entire "conversation" in conversation hearts. We went to a movie and passed them to and fro, the conversation getting hotter and heavier, until he dared to pass me the "Kiss Me" conversation heart.

Awwwwwwwwwwwww!

Hahaha.

Happy Tuesday!

Happy Accidents

I finished my first "roll" of Instax Mini film after a nice photography walk downtown this afternoon. Lots of great pictures, lots of happy accidents! I'm really enjoying instant photography and how little control I have over the process. And it's so much more than just snapping a picture. One must be somewhat thoughtful and careful, as each photograph costs about $1. Then, after you've taken the picture, you watch the lines, colors, and patterns slowly appear. It's rather magical and you can't help but reflect as you watch each image appear. Then laugh at the blurriness and effect of the flash, or marvel at "how well that one turned out!" Yeah, I think I am in love.
