okay, i think i need to break the rules a little & let you know about this photo, haha. during my trip to kansas city, my brother & i celebrated our birthdays at an italian restaurant, buca di beppo. when it is your birthday, they serve you huge cupcakes & sing happy birthday to you. it is so much fun! & when my mom snapped this photo, my brother & i made the same exact face, which totally makes me laugh.

& also reminds me that i miss my family a lot. seven hours & many miles between, i think about them all of the time. i guess you could say i am a little homesick. turning 21 & getting married are both huge reminders that you're not a little girl anymore. still, there's nothing like family. this photo really reminds me of that.

love,
natalie

yup. i can wholeheartedly say that the lack of family is the worst thing about living in minneapolis. at least we have jared's (quite large, i might add) family here. but it's not quite the same. happy birthday!

Very sweet! I am super close to my two sisters. I think when friends meet them for the first time, see all three of us together, they "get it," get me in a way. The homesickness comes and goes, and it is inevitable given any huge step.

Happy (belated!) birthday!

It's nice to come across your little space. I'm really enjoying reading your words.
