2009

This has not been the biggest blog year for me, but it's been one of the best years of all 29 of them. And I promise to share more in 2010. Why, Natalie, why would you do that? Well, in 2010, I will begin touring with Second City's RedCo. After two short years of understudying, I am finally going on the road. There are many emotions wrapped up in this...I am of course very happy and excited...but my sometime-aversion to travel is popping up a little, as is my separation anxiety from Chicago and from Matt. But my attention defecit really lends itself to being on the road, and for that I am grateful and excited to be doing something that may really suit me. Also, who isn't excited to be doing a few shows in Iowa City??? Anyway, this is what I moved to Chicago to do and I feel very blessed to be given the opportunity. And you're welcome, blog audience. My travels will be documented here beginning January 22. FUN!

What else? Well it's been a wonderful holiday. Matt and I spent Thanksgiving in Decatur, IL with no less than his entire family. It's a different experience than my family for sure, considering I have less than a third of the family he has. But I've always liked our small gatherings. Which we will have over Christmas in Vegas! Matt's coming with me, and we already have a full entertainment schedule.

Oh, I haven't said a thing about my 29th birthday. Well...

It was fun.

I hope everyone is having a great holiday.
