Best Friends Forever Club

Can I admit something? I have a hard time hanging on to friends. Or at least I feel that way. I seem to know and like tons of people, but I feel as though only a select few people care enough about me to call me their "friend". From elementary school through college, my "best friend"s have come and gone, and none have really seemed to want to stick with me.
I struggled a lot with this when we were first married. None of my old roomates where married. I didn't have a friend to confide in. Thankfully, I had a beautiful older sister to talk to. I still missed my friends. I still do. Especially since I'm no longer in Divine Comedy, I can see me friendships once again slipping into something less than they used to be. I know it's just part of getting married. But sometimes, I feel lonely. Believe it or not, marriage can be a lonely thing sometimes.

I don't want to sound like I'm complaining. The point of the post is to express my indescribable gratitude for my husband. Whenever I make a new friend, this old insecurity comes back. I think "how long will it be until they get sick of me"? Which makes me think, like any other girl, "What the heck is wrong with me?".

That's not how it is with Alex. Not only is he my best friend, but I absolutely know that he always will be. Forever. I can't describe to you what kind of a calm this has given my spirit. I know that someone will always care about my day, will always remember to call me, and more importantly, I know that someone thinks of me always. I want that so badly for everyone, because everyone deserves it. Everyone deserves a best friend forever. I am so grateful for mine. I've never been a huge Valentine' Day person, but I was so overwhelmed today with gratitude for Alex today that I just had to express it somehow.

So Happy Valentine's day! Please know that whoever is reading this, that I love you. I really do. I'm grateful for my friends and family that read this little blog, and I hope that today you can feel the love of the Savior. Because He will be and can be your best friend forever. No matter what. And not only does everyone deserve that, but everyone can find joy in it.

Love to you all!

Two years ago...

Two years ago today (well tomorrow) I kissed this boy for the first time.

I'm not a super sentimental person who remembers different milestones, but

I remember because we had watched Groundhog Day on Groundhog Day.

And then kissed. Double awesome.

I'm glad I get to kiss him for lots more years. :)

Happy Groundhog Day! :)

Ode to Alex

I just want want to brag about my husband a little.

Sorry for the mushiness, but it's my blog. And my husband. :)

Alex is awesome. I've been meaning to write something about him on her for a while. He is working SO HARD at school. He studies and studies and then goes to works and is such a good employee. His boss totally loves him, because he's easy to talk to-- I know, a total shocker. I love how out going Alex is, but how much he loves just staying at home and hanging out.

Alex has been totally keeping me sane these past few weeks. There has been many nights when I come home crying and REALLY frustrated and exhausted, and he knows how to calm me down. He cleans the house and doesn't complain. He is a wonderful Uncle, and he may love his nieces and nephews more than their parents...or at least gets really close ;). He is going to be the best. dad. ever.

Alex is a committed person. In many aspects of his life, he can see the big picture. I tend to get stressed over little things that pile up, but he understands that smaller things are necessary for a bigger blessing. For example, school. I get so busy with my jobs that sometimes I think that homework is a waste of time. He helps me realize that I don't have much school left before I graduate, and it is such a blessing to be able to attend college and do all the things I do.

He is SO committed to becoming the best dentist he can, and getting into the best dental school that he can. He has had the same few friends his whole life, and that's completely okay with him. When he is excited about something, he gives 110%. He helps me with so many things, I can't even begin to list them.

Plus, Alex is hot. You can't deny it. :)

Alex is a person who always has the Spirit with him. I can't even begin to tell you what a blessing that is to have in your home. I love reading scriptures with him and talking about it. I always learn so much.

I could go on for a long time, and I'm sure he won't even read this, but I love my husband. He is...I don't think there's a good enough word for it. I love Alex and the fact that we were able to make covenants to each other and have the capacity to spend forever together. That sounds really good to me. :)

Oh, and Alex loves this recipe :)

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip cookies

1 box of Spice Cake

1 bigger jar of pumpkin

Chocolate Chips ( the more the better :) )

Set oven to 350 degrees. Mix together the three ingredients ( do not make the spice cake mix, but simply mix the powder with the pumpkin). Bake on a sheet for about 15 min.

Easy and delicious.

Happy Fall! :)

Nat

Update

Look how cute Alex is in his new blog. Alex is a missionary all the way. I love how mindful he is of the gospel all of the time. It's pretty obvious why I love him :)


Before I get started, here's a really great zucchini bread recipe I used the other day. Yum.

Zucchini Bread

• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup grated unpeeled zucchini ( I just chopped some up and put it in the blender)
• 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips ( if you want. By why wouldn't you want?)
• 
  
• In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine the flour,  salt, baking soda, baking powder and cinnamon; gradually add to creamed mixture. Stir in the zucchini and chocolate chips.
• 
  
• Spoon into a greased 8-in. x 4-in. x 2-in. loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes.

Enjoy!

Things have been getting busy around here. I'll start from recently, and make my way backwards :)


Last night was opening night for Tuesday's with Morrie. Matt from DC is in it and is FANTASTIC. I've been assigned to work as a Stage Hang/Assistant Stage Manager for the show, so I've been going to rehearsals for a while now. Opening night went well, and now I have shows for the next little while. See ya in a month, honey :(.

My dad came is for a short visit this past weekend, to help move my grandparents move back to SLC. He flew in Friday night. We saw him Saturday for lunch - the morning was filled with Alpine Days festivities. Of course, I left my camera, but Alex and Tim ran in the 5k, and then we went to the Fireman's breakfast as per tradition. I'll get pics from Jodie later. I saw Julie B. Beck and got totally star struck. (Alex's) Mom offered to introduce me, but I was too nervous! I just love her! :)


Anywho, my dad came into town to help my grandparents move back to SLC. They are back where the used to live -- in the prophet's ward right by Temple Square! Alex was such a trooper and helped lift heavy things, while I put things away. Cousin Cody was with the men, too, and it was so fun to see him. When we weren't moving boxes and hanging up artwork, we got to spend some time with Dad. He even stayed with us one night, which was so fun. :) I am so grateful for the Dad that I have. He is such an amazing man, and I love getting to see him when he visits! We also visited Trissy and Sam, two of my favorite people. It was a great weekend! I only took one picture while Dad was here. He left all too soon, catching a flight back Sunday so he could be at work on Monday. Seriously, what an amazing man!

When Dad was here, we walked around temple square, went to 

Music and the Spoken Word, and explored around 

downtown for a while. It was so fun!

Brigham Young's grave in downtown SLC.

Speaking of Trissy and Sam, here's an old video on my camera of Neve/Nora playing ring around the rosy. Too cute!

I've been gearing up for my new job! We had teacher training all last week. I will still be working as a secretary on campus, and taking a full load of classes, and doing Divine Comedy one more semester. It will be so fun, and so exhausting. :) But, I feel very blessed to be able to do everything.


 TOMORROW if meet the teacher day! I must say, I'm a little nervous! I'll let you know how it goes. I'm so excited to meet these little one that I'll be able to teach. I'll have 12 3 year olds. Keep me in your prayers! ;)


Alex starts school next week too, and he's already getting into the zone. Because I've had rehearsals/performances so often lately, he's been going to the library and reading his textbooks he'll be using this Fall. What a guy. :) He really is the best.


Two weekend ago was the DC Alumni Show. Man, was that fun! TONS of my dearest friends from my first year in DC came back, and we did a bunch of my favorites. As always, it was crazy preparing for it. Some cast members didn't get there until about 12 on Saturday, and we had two shows at 7 and 9. We totally sold out -- we had to turn people away! Whit did an amazing, amazing job of putting the whole thing together. Since it sold out, it got HOT in that auditorium. August show + 400 people per show + us dancing around in hot costumes = gross. It really was such a fun show, though. We got to spend some quality time with everyone the next day on Sunday, and that was wonderful.

Marriott School Musical. I bet it's really hard to tell who is what character. ;) 

High School Musical finale dance! :)

 I think we cracked everytime. Someday, Brian, someday...

...and then the camera died. So we didn't get any Latter-day Miserable pictures. I'll get the group picture from Jodie soon, too! :)




And of course, I've still been working at the good ol' Math Department. We're gearing up for Fall to start, so it's been really busy. I've been writing this blog post here and there for a while whenever I've had some free time at work. 


Alex is still working at the Dental Lab and still loves it. We're both excited for school to start, but sad to see the summer end. It's been such a fun, relaxed summer just enjoying each other. Highlights for me have been evening bike rides followed by popsicles. And, of course, NC. Only two more years until the next one...


Now you're updated! Hope all is well -- and good luck with the start of school, everyone!


Love you all,


Natalex

One year ago...

One year ago today, I woke up in a dorm in Helaman Halls. I was working as a Sports and Dance camp counselor, and all I had to do that morning was make sure my girls were awake and getting to their various activities, and I was off work until 4 that afternoon. I was going to see Alex *butterfly flutter in stomach * soon, and the only thing we had planned to do was to go look at rings again. I remember thinking, “I’m seriously looking at rings?! Can this be happening?!”, but also being so, so happy at the same time. I woke up to a sweet text message, as I often did, that said “Happy Anniversary! There’s a surprise in the scooter…” and then some mushy lovey dovey stuff. I think it was our 6 month anniversary from our first date? Maybe it was 7 months. I know, I know, only 6 months, but we were almost constantly together for about a month before that even happened, and knew each other 6 months before that date. So, I didn’t feel rushed into it.

I had the best summer job – I worked from 4 pm until 9 am the next morning, hanging out with kids, and eating all of my meals at the new Cannon Center. Oh, and spending 9 am to 4 pm falling in love with Alex.

So, I quickly got dressed, made sure my girls were awake, and then started to get ready to go home. I found a daisy (my favorite) and a note that said “There’s another surprise for you at our spot”. Now, this may require some back story. Alex and I would go on drives a lot when we were dating to talk and get away from roommates. We love to drive up by the Y and admire the view. There’s a house (scroll down and slick Street View), the last house on the hill before you get to the Y parking lot, that we absolutely love. At the time it was for sale, and we always joked about retiring in Provo and buying that house some day. I would still love that. :) So, there’s a spot kind of right by the house, where you can park and look at the view. We used to ride the scooter up there and talk for hours. I love that spot.

I stopped by Gold’s Gym because I saw Erica and Andrew and told them what was happening. I think Andrew thought Alex was proposing, but I said “Oh, no, he does stuff like this all the time. And we’re looking at more rings this afternoon.” Which was true by the way – he does really romantic things for me all the time. And we were going to look at rings that afternoon. Or so I thought. :)

I finally got there, and there was Alex! :) Now, at the time he was working as a Dental Assistant, and worked a few mornings a week. He got this morning off! I was so excited to see him! The first thing I told him was “Your flower fell out when I was driving!”. He parked the car so that I couldn’t see behind it, and led me around. He had set up a Kneader’s breakfast picnic. YUM. If you haven’t had their French toast, you need to. In fact, we went this morning before I had to work to celebrate our little anniversary today. :)

So, we sit, we have breakfast, we talk, it was so wonderful. Then Alex gets kind of….nervous. I’ve never seen him nervous, not even before speaking in church. He says, “I’ve got one more thing for you. Close your eyes really quick.” What a guy. At this point, I thought -- man, he's really being romantic today! I honestly had no clue, because we were looking at rings today! So, I close my eyes, and I can hear plastic rustling. He told me I could open my eyes, and right in front of my face was a dozen red roses. I took them from him, and looked at them and said “Oh, honey they’re beautiful!” or something like unto it. I saw in the corner of my eye Alex kneel down for something. 

Then I looked at him, and he was on one knee. With a ring box in his hand! He said some very sweet things about me then told me that he loved me and wanted to spend the rest of his life with me. He said THE question, and I said “Ohmygosh, ohmygosh, ohmygosh” for about two minutes. I’m pretty sure I said ohmygosh before he even asked the question. Or maybe even spoke. I could NOT believe that he was proposing to me right now! He laughed at me and hugged me. In my mind, I had already said yes, but poor Alex was just waiting for an answer. He said “Babe, you haven’t said yes yet”, and I shouted “Yes, yes of course!” He put the ring on my finger. It is such a beautiful ring. I had picked out the setting a couple weeks before that, but didn’t really think much of it. I just said “Oh, I really like that one.” And I do! I wish I had a good picture with me now. I’ll have to post one once I’m back on my computer. :) It’s simple and elegant and classic. Anyways, at this point you know I was crying. I started crying during the ohmygosh ohmygosh time. It was such a wonderful moment. It was actually a really spiritual experience for me.

THEN, we went home to Alpine to show the family the ring, which of course they had all seen. We made a million phone calls. Alex told me about calling my Dad the night before, and how nervous he was. We went and saw the new HARRY POTTER, and that night for work, we ate in the Sky Room, this really delicious and nice restaurant on campus at BYU. It really was the perfect day. :)

I loved Alex so much then, and I love him so much more now. I never planned to get married when I did, but I’m so grateful that I did get married when I did. I could never imagine life without Alex, and I am so grateful for him, and that he asked me to marry him a year ago. And that we’re married now. :)

To celebrate (okay, not really) we’re takin’ a red eye to NYC tonight, and then an early morning flight to North Carolina and relaxing for a week at the beach with the MONK FAMILY! We’re so, so excited.

Happy Friday! :)

Love you guys,

Nat

How we met...

Since in about a month it will be two years since I met Alex, and I figured I should probably record the story before I forget it all together. At the time, I was keeping a journal...sort of :)

Whenever people ask us how we met, I like to say "we were in the same singles ward a while ago", but Alex like to say with a grin on his face "We met in a hot tub. She looked good!"

The hot tub thing is unfortunately true. But it's not what you think. I promise.

The week after the Monk Family reunion ( which happens every two years, and the next one is in a couple weeks! ) I flew out to UT to start filming a small movie I was in. My friends Matt and Sarah and Lindsi, all from Divine Comedy, where working on the project with me. It was a great learning experience, and I'm glad I did it. It was very independent and spontaneous of me. :)

So, I'm in UT making a movie with my friends, and getting paid for it. Tough life, eh? About a week into the shoot, my apartment contract for the Fall opens up. It was late July/early August. I had been staying with my friend Lindsi, but I moved into my apartment as soon as I could. I was the only one of my roommates there, so I invited my friends over to go swimming. Enter hot tub.

We were all hanging out, being goofy and talking about Divine Comedy things. We were swimming, and all decided to go into the hot tub. After a while, these two really cute guys sat in the hot tub too. There was the awkward hey-i-don't-know-you-but-we're-essentially-bathing-together greetings. When I looked up and saw them, I thought "Man, I hope they're in my ward. Especially the blonde one. Woah, what a smile". For real. I really remember thinking that. Of course, Morgan said his name was Alex, and they had me fooled for the first week I knew them into thinking Morgan was Alex and Alex was Morgan. Doesn't surprise you, huh?

We starting talking, I told them what apartment I was in, and Alex said "I think that's in our ward". I then started to think, "Man, I hope they're in my FHE group". We talked to them about Divine Comedy, and neither of them know what it was, which I thought was AWESOME. I had too many guys try to talk to me about Divine Comedy, or getting into it if they were my friend. It got annoying.

I was looking through my journal the other day from around that time. I found one entry after our first Sunday, when I found out that those boys were in my FHE groups. I wrote "We got put with apartment 207 today, and I am actually really excited. They all seem like really nice guys. The cute guys from the hot tub are in that apartment :). Morgan seems nice, and Alex seems a little more outgoing. He's cute -- but the kind of cute that always has a girlfriend. Oh well, that's the least of my worries right now."

Good one, Nat.

Then, we both would date other people on and off. Mainly Alex.  We were friends, we would talk/text/flirt occasionally. Everytime I would come over there was a girl with him. Seriously.But then, when we both had stopped dating someone, we started getting to know each other more and more. I went up to dinner at his family's house with my friends Alex and Kittye, and his family told him he should date me. I remember overhearing his mom ask him "Is she the one you were talking about?" and hoping so hard that she was talking about me. Turns out she was. :)

What I've Learned This Year

Hello all! My junior year in college is coming to a close, and what a year it's been! I just had our end-of-the-year banquet with Divine Comedy at Tucano's -- yummmmm.

It was so fun spending time with my friends, who I don't really see anymore. And as Whit was being adorable as usual and handing out awards for everyone it hit me how incredibly blessed I am, and how much I have changed in the past year. I've learned a few things...

1. I don't know much. And the more I learn, the more I just realize there's more to learn. I don't know anything in comparison to our Father in Heaven, and I've got eternity to make up the difference!

2. I am surrounded by wonderful people. The past few months I've had times where I feel very alone -- especially when Alex is off studying all night. At the time I've felt sad -- I'm a people person, and I always wanted to invite people over -- but what a blessing to have some time to myself! This is probably the only time in my life when I CAN have some alone time. I've been able to study the scriptures more, figure out what I want to do with my future, and the BIGGEST blessing of all is that I have Alex to spend my future with.

3. I've learned so much about the Atonement -- how to use it. I don't think we can ever fully understand the Atonement, but I am so grateful for it. I don't see how any marriage without a firm belief in the Atonement, forgiveness, and repentance could ever work.

4. I've learned that you don't need to serve a full time mission to be a good member of the Church. I always believed that about other people, but not about myself. I always thought that I am so indebted to Heavenly Father that the least I can do it dedicate 1.5 years to him. I've learned that dedicating your average, everyday activities to him is hard, but equally as important as serving a full time mission. I can be a missionary for the rest of my life without having served as a single, full time sister missionary like I was always planning on, and embracing that has helped me so much this year. That being said, if you feel like a mission is for you GO. If you're not sure, PREPARE to be a missionary -- because you will be a missionary for the rest of your life!

5. Being in charge can be hard, but it's so rewarding.  I've had the chance to be one of the co-leaders in Divine Comedy this year. There were some really hard weeks *cough, Harry Potter cough*, and some really, really great ones. I saw new cast members become comfortable in the group, I saw learning, growth, creativity, and I got to help others reach that. What a rewarding thing! And sometimes, what a stressful thing! It was a fun taste of motherhood to come. :)

 

6. LOST will never answer my questions... but I will always keep coming back for more!

7. The temple is the most peaceful, happy place on earth. All of my self-esteem issues, negative thoughts, just leave my mind for a couple hours. I wish I could live there ( and plan on it for the later years of my life ).

8. We should be happy wherever we are in life, but we almost NEVER are. I was looking forward to this season of Divine Comedy to end, and now it has. It's just done. And now I'm feeling sad about it! I only have 1 more year left of college. How scary is that! College is such a WONDERFUL blessing, and I'll probably have to go back and read this post next year when I'm eye ball deep in papers, because it's so hard to appreciate where you are, at this moment. But college is an experience I will never experience again, and I should appreciate every late night cram session!

9. Laughing makes everything better.

10. I love Alex!

Happy Spring time, everyone!

Springbreak would be nice...

HELLOOOOO!

This is Natalie...Madsen. Still not used to that. I just thought that I would blog today. I'm at work, and this sounded like a much better idea than homework.

Alex has his Spring break this week! Sadly, us BYU Cougars don't get a break. This seems like the time of year when people loose their energy to function/study/write papers, but this is total midterm time! Ah, well, it definitely could be worse!

Here's a little Spring Break substitute -- a recipe my friend Sarah gave me. It's like drinking sunshine!

Brazilian Lemonade:
-In a Blender put:
3 cups water
1/2 cup sugar
4 tablespoons sweet and condensed milk
2 limes, washed, with the ends cut off and quatered
-Pulse five times (if you do it more, the lemonade will be bitter)
-Strain and serve over ice

Yum!

** WARNING GUSHINESS AHEAD**

So, I think I'll just write about how much I appreciate Alex. The poor guy has to put up with me being gone all the time, and when I am home my mind is still running a million miles a minute about my day, that it's often hard for me to slow down and just sit and laugh with him. But, that's my favorite thing to do. Alex is better than you, whoever you are reading this. Sorry, but it's true. He's the smartest, cutest, and nicest person I know, and I'm so glad that I can be with him forever. I honestly don't deserve him, but I'm glad I got him anyways. :)

Anybody who know Alex know that he works hard, when he really puts his mind to it :) He is always willing to drop anything for friends and family, and frequently does. I am SO excited (maybe a little too excited) to see him as a Dad. :) He's going to be the best Dad in the world. Between the two of us, when we have kids, we'll be playing with them so much I'm not sure if we'll get much else done! You should see him with his neices and nephews -- as soon as they see Alex they get big smiles ad their faces and tackle him to the ground :) I love it!

The thing I love most about Alex is how caring he is. When we're fighting, I mean arguing about something (and yes, we do have disagreements believe it or not :) ) he is so easy to communicate to and work things out with. He puts Christ at the center of his life, and especially our relationship, and for that I am and will be eternally grateful. These first few month of being married have been wonderful, but hard. The hardest thing I've ever done. But it has also been the most joyous thing I've ever done, and that's because of Alex! :)

Anyways, I love Alex. A lot. More than you, but after reading this hopefully you love him more too :)

Dang it, I just wrote a gushy blog post. What's happened to me?! :)

Love you guys! ( and by that I mean Melanie, because I think she's the only one who reads this...)

Happy 2010!

Hello!

Happy 2010 from the Madsens :) Alex is studying all night tonight, and I have no practice and no immediate homework and no babies, so I thought "I should blog". This semester has been going great so far. I'm back into Theatre classes again -- which I love. Still working the secretary job -- it is such a blessing. After this semester I'll be a Senior in college, which just sounds too grown up for me. But then again, so does being married :).

Alex is in Chemistry and a Medical Terminology class, both of which he's really enjoying. He's still working at a Dental Lab, and sometimes shadowing dentists. I don't know anybody else who likes to spend their free time look at people's teeth :) But I love him more and more the more I get to know him! :) Okay, mushiness done.

I've only burned about 3 dinners so far, but I'm beginning to master the crockpot...kind of :) I just took a trip to Vegas with Divine Comedy to see some shows -- Blue Man Group and The Lion King. It was a blast! But kind of strange without Alex there -- I missed him, especially while walking the strip with creepy people around me. :)

School is going great, being married is work, but great :) We both really love it. As soon as we get a camera, we'll put up pictures of our apartment. We LOVE it. It's really been great to us so far.

So that's the latest with us! Nothing too exciting, just enjoying being married :) Love you all!

Natalex

Woo. What a month.

Okay first of all, how cute is my husband? Yes, Alex is now my husband! :) What a sweet post -- I didn't even know he knew how to do that. Being married is different than I thought, but still SO MUCH BETTER than before.

The wedding went very well, no big glitches, except when I lost both of our recommends on the plane....but thanks to wonderful priesthood leaders we were just fine! We're anxiously awaiting getting our wedding pictures, and will be sure to put those up when we get them.

Our first week of marital bliss included rehearsal for Divine Comedy every night and a show that whole weekend. The next week, and this week too, Alex has been studying til late hours of the night in the library trying to get ready for finals. Apparently when you're engaged you don't do so well in classes, so finals are kinda important. Woof.

This thursday is our HONEYMOON!!! WOO!! We're both so excited, it's the only thing that's been keeping us sane. We'll leave Thursday evening after Alex's work and stay the night in St. George with Alex's mission friend Wilstead. Then it's off to San Diego for our cruise!! Oh man, I am so excited.



Our favorite news of the week is CARLIE'S TUMOR IS GONE!!!! Isn't Heavenly Father amazing? What a blessing! I've learned so much about fasting and prayers -- hooray!!

Well, if anybody reads this, we love you! We'll put wedding pics up soon! :)

-Natalex

I love Natalie

Hello. This is Alex. I feel strangely out of place in the blogging world, but i thought that this would be a good place to let Natalie know how much i love and appreciate her. This might sound cheesy but she means the world to me. She is more than a best friend to me, she is my lovely wife, a title that i am glad that only she gets to have because she is so much more special than anyone else reading this.... I love everything about her and everything about our relationship!

Here's some engagment pictures taken by my AMAZING cousins, Tandy and Trissy!

One month!

Hey everybody!

We've had an interesting week to say the least. After my throat kept on swelling up, and after a couple doctor's visits, it was proclaimed that I have mono! It coule have been MUCH worse, but now that means I have to "take it easy" for a month, not like anything big is happening...oh wait.
We're getting married in a month! Woo! Exactly a month from today. We can't believe how it has crept up on us!

Alex is doing well too, and no signs of mono yet. Yes, that means no kissing until the wedding day! We're working on announcements this week, and everything should be out by then.

Sorry we're not big into the blog, but i'm 98% sure no one reads this anyways....

One month! Yay!


Love you all,

Natalex
