family. [because sometimes they're all you've got.]

Well, that's all. i would go on, but you probably stopped reading a while back. Thanks for reading. I'll have a better post soon.

here's a picture for the road..

I'm just sayin'.

It's always winter but never christmas...

This is Me after 2/4 finals.. imagine what i looked like after the other 2....

hmm, catch up time..

So i basically took all four of my finals in one day. I was on campus from 730am until 9:00 at night! I definitely got 82% on 2 tests, 87% on 1, and a 50% on the 4th one... it was a roller coaster of a day. funny thing was, the lowest score i took first. (at 8am!) that's what i blame it on. Scheduled final at 8am on a MONDAY!? not smart. not studying?? even not smarter.

So, after eating with Mary and visiting my friend kyle, Mary and I called Jared and went to sit in the car and watch the fabulous christmas lights that have music played along with the flashing.. it was tiiiiight. THEN! Mary and Jared were in the mood for an adventure... So, An adventure we did.

We drove up this hill thing and then started our hike... but oh wait.. it started snowing. And the entire freaking trail was covered in snow. So what did we do?? WE HIKED. it was pretty hard (well, for aerobic phobic Natalie it was). then once we got to the top... (after much slipping, sliding, almost falling and dying...) we just stood there and admired the "general splendor." it was the most beautiful thing I've seen in a while. especially with the fresh snow falling and the beautiful lit up Provo/orem. i wish i wasn't heaving the whole time.. (oops! ..time to exercise?!)

After we nearly died (not really, but still.) on the way down, we went to jared's house to have hot chocolate... luckily he had about... hmm, a million different flavors, otherwise i would have died. luckily he had chocolate hazelnut... it was DE-LISH. :] so yeah, that was my adventure before christmas break and after finals!!! YAY for being done with those!!!
And thank you to mary and jared for a phenomenal evening... i loved it!

That is all.

Favorite Holiday?

YES!!

So I have just realized how much I've missed talking to myself on this... So here I go again, 3rd time in one day. I just really like cute blogs. mine hadn't changed in a while, so I thought... "Hmm, I'm not ready for a christmas background, and there are only so many fall/thanksgiving backgrounds... Why not celebrate the best holiday in November?!" So I am.

November 18th is a day to remember. A day to celebrate. A day to change the way you think about Natalie Foell and the World. On this day the world will change. The world will have one less teenager in the world, and one more responsible adult that is still living with her family. It is on this day, where Natalie [no middle name] Foell becomes "one year older and wiser too." She has learned so much. She has yet to learn as well. But on this day, Natalie becomes a woman.

WELL.... NOT REALLY. BUT SHE DOES TURN 20. So holla. She will definitely post photos and glorious things about what she does on her birthday... if you have any ideas, PLEASE PLEASE let her know!! All Natalie knows is that she wants a pinata. She might even make it herself the weekend before... Anyone want to join her? Just shout a holla.
PEACE.

separation...

P.S. this post is not as entertaining to read, but still important.

On November 5, 2008, Proposition 8 passed 52% to 48% (according to CNN.com). All I have to say is THANK YOU 52% of California. I am so glad that California voters were able to keep church and state separate...

In the words of President Gordon B. Hinckley, way to "BE SMART."

Most of the other propositions... Get a clue California.

And to the good 'ol U. S. of A. I won't say we're screwed, but I guess we'll have to wait and see what kind of adventure awaits us...

Shout out to all the Californians who worked their trash of to help this proposition pass. Way to be tight. Especially my fam. haha.

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND.......

ME!!

SO, here are some pictures and stories from my recent adventures...
Back in September I took a trip to Ogden/Logan Utah and had a BLAST! I visited my cousin Ann Marie and watched Gilmore Girls all night with her! It was soo much fun! We saw the "Nights in Rodanthe" movie (a Nicholas Sparks book [author of the notebook, a walk to remember, etc.]), and played all friday and saturday!
Picture below: Ogden, UT LDS Temple... for some reason a lot prettier than the Provo, UT one.. haha.

After visiting with Ann Marie, I drove a little farther to Logan, Utah to visit my good friend Sam. We had a blast together. We went to the Utah State University Hockey Game, visited his parents (my families good friends), and just toured Logan all weekend! It was a great time. (Thanks Sam.)
Photo: Sam and I after church on sunday..

My only picture of the Hockey Game...from my ghetto phone. (I forgot my real camera in the car) [USU vs. BYU] (BYU got their Trash Kicked)Since that trip I have found a LOVE/ADDICTION for hockey. I must say that the USU fans were 10x better than the BYU fans. But hey, I guess BYU has to be bad at something... (other than womens volleyball)
Jessica G and I at the BYU vs. Metro game (seen above)

Another Recent adventure... BOWLING...
You know, I think I discovered two of the greatest sports in the world. Hockey and Bowling. I'm not sure why i think that... but they sure are great.
This is my good friend Jordan and I playing "Skittles Bowling." Jordan was way into it and danced even when he didn't have to. (He's kinda a dancing machine.)
SO, RULES OF SKITTLES BOWLING: first, you write down a key... Red=bowl backwards, Purple=bowl with opposite hand, Green=Between your legs, Yellow, Orange... etc. (i couldn't remember what the others were...) So... You have a HUGE costco-size bag of skittles... then, You pick a skittle (one for each roll) and look at the corresponding ridiculous movement you have to do... then, BOWL. Check It.
Me watching Jarom, trying to learn the art of bowling backwards... It didn't really work because right after this picture was taken, my bowling ball shot out of my hands, and into the gutter... (DID I MENTION THERE WERE BUMPERS ON THE LANES...) So yes, my ball was stuck inbetween the lane and the bumper... I had to inform the authorities to help me out... It was sooo embarrassing/sad... (but still hilarious)(nina and I loving the skittles)

From then on I decided to bowl regular. (and I kicked trash.)

Final Score: Natalie: A LOT... Everyone else... Not so much. (seriously... i finally won when i cheated. It was great.)
