Catch up

All stories have to start off somewhere. You can say my life is kind of a story, so there should probably be a base to start it all off. Let's see where this takes me...

Elementary School:

• Lots of coloring
• Cursive (you don't really use it kids)
• Met my best friend in the whole entire world, Karoline*

Middle School:

• First boyfriend, Jake (even though I was a ripe age of 14 & didn't know what a boyfriend was) 
• My sister & I found ourselves trying to adjust to our new single mom household
• Realized I will never hang out with the "party" crowd
• Met my best friend, Chandler*
• Met & became determined I was going to marry Kyle, even though he has no idea

High School:

• Found some cool friends 
• Gained my testimony & never lowered my standards
• Probably didn't make the best effort in schoolwork, but did decent
• Dated a guy I thought I was going to have an eternal marriage with, Lance
• Became best friends with Jake*
• Got my heart broken
• Dated the "high school hottie", Luke
• Dumped 
• Had one NCMO 
• Had a good time, but definitely happy it's over

I can't complain about how my life has turned out so far. There have definitely been some rough moments, but who hasn't had them, right? I've loved, hated, & everything in the middle. I've been to many places in the country & am blessed to have had the opportunity. I have the most amazing family & I wouldn't trade them for the world. I am much talk when it comes to how forward I can be with a guy, but when it comes down to it, a smile is probably the most I'll do. I am a firm believer that guys should make the first move to show there is an interest (start a conversation, ask for #, etc). My mom & I are best friends, and it's probably because we are so different. She thinks it's totally acceptable for a girl to make a first move, & I'm not saying it's forbidden, just not for me. I will be married in the Temple one day (hopefully soon) with the love of my life, for time & all eternity. I want to be a mom more than anything. I have high hopes & they are not coming down any time soon. 

*Karoline, Jake & Chandler are those lifetime friends. They mean the world to me. Yeah, I have other friends I might mention now & then, but these are those you just know are true... 

This is Me

I guess I should start off introducing myself. You can call me Natasha. I was searching the internet for some insight on life at BYU-Idaho & came across Confessions of a MormonSkank (if you haven't visited this blog, DO IT) and that's how I got my inspiration. I am an ordinary girl who is head over heels over any guy who gives me the time of day. I've grown up in a small town in Florida & it's been my home, but will soon be moving to Idaho to attend BYU-I. I have the most perfectly unperfect family I could ever ask for. I have been blessed to have grown up with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints as the most important aspect in my life. I have a true testimony of it & love it with all of my heart. I am here to share my experiences & feelings with anybody who is willing to read. I am not writer or journalist so please don't expect some amazing literature. I am here to share & hopefully help & guide those who are in similar situations. I hope you enjoy my life as much as I do (sometimes).
