Natalie in Europe!






This is one of my first days in Brussels! You can tell because I'm wearing a coat, and my cheeks and nose are red from the cold :) This is at a Park kind of close to where I lived, where lots of people from church would play soccer on Saturday mornings!





(left) This is a picture of me at the Royal Palace in Brussels :)



(below) This is me at the Asian towers... :) not really sure what they were, but they were cool!



















This is me at the "atom thingy" as I called it for the first month or so in Brussels. It's actual name is the Atomium and it is HUGE! Not only that, but when the sun goes down, it sparkles! How cool is that?!

Anyway I would love to add more pics of my wanderings, but I'm sitting in a wooden chair, and my butt HURTS! So I'm outta heeya!

Ciao!

April Sunshine brings May Rain!

This seems so backwards! The weather was beautiful on Friday April 30, 2010. Then when midnight struck, the weather became cold, windy, cloudy, and rainy. The beautiful flowers on all the trees are falling off, and what once used to be a beatiful purple flower blossem, is now a brown smashed mess on the dirty city sidewalks. I must confess, the view from where I sit is rather grey. (sorry, I couldn't resist the Pride and Prejudice quote. But it is true, I am sitting at my desk, looking out the window at the grey city sky, that seems to be putting a grey tint on everything else.)

However, despite the grey tint that seems to be enveloping my life, I am loving life, and look foward to the bright future!

I am going to start eating healthier, and excercising with my new buddy jnetti! We have talked about it, and decided that your soul consists of your spirit, AND your body. Therefore, to increase in spirituality and come closer to God, we must prepare our physical bodies as well.

Hopefully I will give you more updates, and my next post will include pictures of my wanderings and travels! It's been fun! So be excited!!

Ciao,
Nat

After spending a good 45 minutes trying to figure out how to change my blog template, I am giving up! I don't know how to use this, which is probably why I never post anything! :) I was going to write something else, but I don't remember what it is... Oh well! Peace
