20 years ago....
I was 6 years old. I spent my days playing barbies and climbing trees and wearing some army pants that I thought made me look tuff. I was a closet thumb sucker, I hid under my blankets at night and sucked my thumb and continued to until I was 12 yrs old.
10 yrs ago....
I drove a 79 toyota corolla, that was brown and rusted through, we called it, the tird. I worked at a dry cleaners in the afternoons and was playing soccer. I was dating Josh Corbridge, a short lived romance that only lasted about a month. My nephew, Haden was 4 days old and I had never loved a baby so much.
5 yrs ago...
I was 21 and was the girl's camp director in my ward. I had just quit a job that I loved working for Peterson Chiropractic, but I needed a change. we lived in West Valley city in my in-laws apartments. I had just had my second mis carriage and wanted a baby more than anything.
1 year ago...
I was pregnant with my 3rd boy. I had just read Twilight and New Moon and was counting down the days to the release of Eclipse. I spent my weekends in New York, working as an actor on Saturday Night Live and was having a hard time living my double life, much like Hannah Montana. ( I just threw that in there to see if you were paying attention, good one Laura :) and being an actor on Sat. night live is my dream job.)
So far this year....
I now am a mother of 3 boys and I couldn't be happier. My dad was re-baptized into the church and he married his sweet heart. My sister moved across the country, only to come back less than a year later homeless from an eF 5 tornado and very pregnant. I have served in the young womens and have put my heart and soul into that calling. I have learned more about who I am and have come to love and accept myself more this year than any other and from doing so feel I am more loving and accepting of others. I went through a very hard time and experienced a lot of anxiety and from it suffered from insomnia. From this experience I learned that my Heavenly Father loves me. I also have learned to sympathize with others.
Yesterday I ....
baby sat my niece, Lieci, and my nephew, Matt while their parents moved the last of their things from their house and I cried when I realized they were really moving and I can't just run down to visit Reta when ever I want. I took offense to something I probably shouldn't have and have been stewing about it all night and morning. I danced around with my boys to the song, M79 by vampire weekend. I stayed up late talking to my husband and feel closer to him than I ever have. I realized that he loves me fully and completely and I am so happy that I can tell him anything.
Today I....
Need to apologize to someone. I am going to play with my boys. I am hopefully going to go to the Temple tonight, because it has been way to long since I have been there. I am going to rent a movie and get some type of take out and have fun with my family. I will probably talk to Teri, Reta and Michelle and possibly Katy on the phone. I will clean my bathrooms.
Tomorrow I will...
Try to get calls and reports done for work. I will work on my lesson for Sunday. I will go grocery shopping. I hope I will go for a run. I will work in the yard with David.
In the next year....
I want a mini van, my dream vehicle. I want to go on a trip with my husband. I would like to run a half marathon. I will work on being positive and try to not judge others. I would like to go to a rockin concert and on a girl's night go some place that has Kareoke and sing my heart out like nobody's business. I tagg, Erin, Jamie Anderson and Katy Wassom.

Thanks for doing that, It's really fun to see what ya put! I love ya Nat & I am sorry that it's hard for you with Reta & John moving. I was thinking about you when Mike was helping them move & I realized that that was going to be hard on all four of you guys. But just think how fun it'll be if you guys sell your house & move into the D.R. Horton houses! :)
P.S. Isn't The Waitress just soooo good? I wish that I was friends with Keri Russle!
Hey last time you tagged me and I didn't do it because I was moving and didn't have my own toilet. Sorry!!!!
I was paying attention Hannah Montana! That was a lovely tag. You've been a busy girl. It sounds like things are going really well and you are very good at your calling!!!
Fun post! Nothing like a quick life recap... with I'm sure so much more to insert. I love the little NY insert. Don't you just love the YW program and serving there - I sure do.
Way-to-go Nat! I thought I recognized you on SNL - you were super funny!
It's crazy to think back to when you were first trying to have kids and now look, you have your three sweeties. You've really been blessed.
I too worked on SNL and then it got a little inappropriet and we had to part ways.
I forgot to mention that I still watch SNL religously I just can no longer be seen on it.
And I also forgot to tell you that I accept your apology! I still love you!
Love it! You are so awesome Nat! You are one of the main reasons my girls go to YW! Love ya!
NO, don't think how fun it would be to move!! No, no, no! Laura, if she does move by you, remember that she is an amazing neighbor, and how much her old neighborhood misses her. I would have loved it if you were my young women advisor's.
Nat,
You always make life sound exciting. This was so entertaining to read. Thanks for sharing your greatness with us!
Loved reading this! Man..I'm really hoping I wasn't the offender yesterday! I think you're one of the most fun people I know! I think the girls in YW are so lucky to have you...they can probably relate to you better than most cause you're so young, fun, and free spirited!
yeah I sucked my thumb till I was 10 and I couldn't even tell my best friend, I was so mortified. How I wish I'd have had a friend like you to hang out with and feel normal around.
I see you tagged me, I will do it soon, like this week
FYI, love ya.
