Earth Day Festival was this past Sunday & it was so enjoyable. Luke & I had a table set up with some of our prints & my earrings at the local community garden, where he volunteers. It was really nice to talk with visitors & get to know more people in Columbia. Everyone was really complementary of our work & even called us "artists" which was pretty strange. It was such a great afternoon!
That evening, Luke made dinner for me & I rearranged my room. Afterwards, we sat out on the front porch, ate dinner, & talked about our lives. So often, I can feel really "left out" of groups of people. As if there is this big secret that I don't know about or I am missing something in life. Luke & I were talking about this for quite some time & realized that we spend so much time with one another because we feel so comfortable with each other. It is difficult to explain the connection I feel to him, but it is something that I treasure. I feel this way with Tori, too. I suppose it doesn't matter how many people you surround yourself with; it is the security of that relationship that matters the most.

In other news, I am really looking forward to the summer. Only ten days left of actual class! Tonight, I have to stay up & write a paper. It will be nice to spend my nights reading & baking & meeting up with friends. Also, just to let you know- Luke got the job at Uprise Bakery: one of our favorite places in Columbia! He started this morning and loved it! I am so proud of him :)
love,
Natalie

Natalie,
I love the photos of your earrings and our prints. They're great pictures. What a wonderful afternoon that was!
And what a sweet post. I really can't put into words the connection I feel with you. The security and love and vulnerability in our relationship is unlike anything I've ever known.
I love you so much!
Luke, Uprise opener-in-training

look at Luke's signature, "Uprise opener-in-training" how sweet.
you two do seem so at ease with one another. I love to see you together.
and it surprises me that you feel sometimes as if there's a secret you're not in on - if anything, I'd say that your presence makes others comfortable - you really seem to bring out the best in others!
jeremy and i saw luke on his first day - such a perfect job for him! i'm so stinking excited that you two are about to embark on wedded bliss together.
