Hey my name is Natalie. I'm originally from Corpus Christi and am studying civil engineering at UT here in Austin (graduating May 2013!). I'm very loyal, outgoing, laid back, and down to earth. I really love an adventure such as, but not limited to hiking, kayaking,skiing, or camping, and love to play sports. I would love to try paddle boarding still haven't done that yet. I'm not the best at sports, but I just like to play and have a good time. I love to laugh and smile a lot =D! I like to go to the movies, hang out with friends, and pretty much anything. I really love music, all types, and love to sing and dance a lot. I am one of the teaching assistants for the social ballroom dance class at UT. I'm pretty short, but I love it and embrace it. I love my family and we are all really close. I can be fun and crazy (in a good way). I can also be quite the goober sometimes. I live life to the fullest and like to have a good time.

I'm livin it up! I have less than a month at UT and accepted a full time job offer in California for September. I also really enjoy working out, so I became a member of CrossFit this year. I will also be training this year because I will be cycling from Austin to Alaska with Texas 4000 (a UT group) to raise money for cancer research and spread hope and knowledge along the way. I'm stoked!

...well I like to try a lot of things and really love sports but am not the best at them. I really love to sing, but whether I'm really good at it or not you'll have to decide. I really love to volunteer. I am also pretty good at making people laugh and listening to people.

Probably a mix of my blue eyes and my smile. I have a very positive outlook on life.

I'm not a very picky person and like a lot of things. I love all types of music from country and hip hop to Mumford and Sons, Rise Against, Blink 182, etc. I'm not a very fast reader because I never stuck to reading a lot, but when I find a really good book I do enjoy reading it. However, I guess I would rather go do something outdoors. I love all kinds of food too and enjoy cooking. I absolutely love dippin' dots!

1 - My Family is definitely #1 (so important in my life) <3
2 - God/my faith it has gotten me through the ups and downs
3 - My friends, especially my best friend
4 - Hope
5 - Music /Dancing
6 - Travel

Everything else is pretty materialistic.

my future and just about everything in general. Sometimes I'm surprised by how many thoughts run through my head.

...typical Friday night? No such thing. It all depends, perhaps out to dinner with some friends, movies, at home cooking and watching a movie, downtown sometimes (I love dancing just in case you didn't catch that =D), or heading home to visit the family and my grandma at the nursing home.

Just ask...I feel like I am pretty open about my life.

you want to of course! Also, if I sound like someone you could talk to, if you want to get to know me, or if you want to go do something fun together in this great city of Austin.
