About Me

So who is this person who is going to be rambling on this site three to four times a week? Well, my name is Natalie and I am a 24 year old third year dental student at WVU. I was raised in Morgantown, WV, then went to Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, OH for undergrad to get my degree in Biomedical Engineering. At Case, I joined the sorority Delta Gamma, which is one of the best decisions I've ever made. I'm currently back in Morgantown, learning how to drill and fill teeth. I enjoy running in my spare time, and have a disturbing obsession with almost anything that is sold by Anthropologie.

My fiance, let's call him Mr. Bicycle (I don't think he wants me divulging our names via the interwebz) is a 25 year old chemist at a large pharmaceutical company in Morgantown, WV. He grew up in Fairmont, the town next to Morgantown, and he went to WVU for undergrad. He's hoping to get into dental school and is applying this year. In his spare time he bikes. A lot.

Though Mr. B and I grew up 20 minutes away from each other and had mutual friends, we never met growing up. In early 2009, I was having trouble meeting new people/dating prospects. This wasn't an issue in undergrad, because my school was smallish and had a lot of greek events/activities, so I met new people all the time. But in dental school, I was in school for 10 hours a day, then studying my brains out. No fun extracurricular activities=no way to meet an awesome guy. Anyways, I joined a dating site in hopes that maybe I'd meet someone interesting. Luckily, Mr. B was having the same issue and also joined the same site. He sent me a message, we went out, and have been almost inseparable since. We also own a yellow lab mix named Tsali, who occupies much of our time.

Mr. B decided to seal the deal last March. He asked me what rings I liked, and then tried to act like he didn't buy one after we went and tried some on. I was able to get it out of him, so the proposal was no surprise. I'm not really big into romance/surprises so that was fine with me.

We're getting married July 30, 2011 so I have plenty of time to get everything together. Right now it looks like we'll have between 300-350 people, so it's going to be pretty large. This means that I can't incorporate some of the elements I'd like to, but it should be fun to have such a large affair.
