And Lyssa Was Her Name-O

So at night while I'm trying to fall asleep, I make up stories. Most of which are about my future life with Prince Charming. (Sue me, I'm a 17 year old girl!) So I'm going through this awesome story in my mind but I keep hitting a stumbling block...HE HAS NO NAME!!! So I'm trying to come up with a good name but trip and fall. Few names sound good with Natalie!!! Then I realized it needed to be 3 syllables. So I start brainstorming those...HELLO there are none!!!!

So it's the next day, I'm in Cantori A-Hour and voice my concern. Five hours later...we're in honor choir and Alyssa gives me a list of 3 syllable names and they were just too good to not post.

1. Timothy

2. Atticus

3. Jericho

4. Dakota

5. Jeffery

6. Don Carlos

7. Julian

8. P Diddy (or Puff Daddy)

This weeks English assignment was to create pictures of moments with words.

Here's what I came up with, along with some pictures to supplement.

Have a great weekend!

What’s In a Name?

Sitting in a room too sterile for its own good. Crammed onto a tiny couch not meant for three people. Holding a precious newborn small enough to fit in my purse. I still didn’t know what Baby Madeleine’s full name was! Her parents had kept me in suspense for months. Now, sitting next to my brother-in-law Andy, the moment had come. He was writing a blog post to announce the arrival of his fourth child. He typed “Madeleine” then turned to me, “you ready for this Nat?” “Yes!” My breath caught in my throat as his abnormally large fingers typed the word Rose. For the first time in my life, I was speechless. This beautiful girl in my arms shared my name! Instantly I was struck by the power of this moment. I felt the pressure of being a role model. I immediately resolved to never do anything to make Miss Madeleine Rose feel ashamed of her namesake.

All Lit Up

I’d been waiting for this moment ever since I set foot on French soil. It was my last Sunday here in this beautiful city and unlike my hometown of Mesa, the streets of Paris teemed with life. People were everywhere, living it up and enjoying the beautiful weather. The air surrounding me was electric, like someone had plugged the city into a wall and pressed the ON button. Though it was almost eleven o’clock, I felt safe walking alongside my 6’3’’ brother-in-law Andy. We quickly made our way up to Sacreqour where, according to Bekah, we’d have the best view in the city. As the minutes slugged by and turned into seconds, my anticipation reached a breaking point, no longer bubbling in my stomach, but boiling over like hot water left on the burner too long. Then, finally, it came. The Eiffel Tower sparkled and shone like nothing I’d ever seen before. The beauty of it made tears come to my eyes. I could’ve been hundreds of miles away and still have been able to see the brilliant glittering. “Okay,” I thought to myself. “I can go home now.”

What's in a Name Part Four?

If I were Native American, my name would be

Little Raindrop.

I'm short and I love the rain.

If I were Latina, my name would be

Natalia.

Actually, as it is, my name almost was Natalia. That's what JerBear wanted, but my familiy protested saying that they wouldn't know how to pronounce it so I became Natalie.

Another side note: Natalie means Nativity and I just happened to be born on April 7th, the day after Christ's real birthday. I think that's pretty cool!

And if I were Chinese, or say, learning Chinese at a camp for two weeks then my name would be

Lui Na Li!!!

That's right folks, for the next two weeks I am no longer Natalie Lewis, I am Lui Na Li!

Pretty snazzy eh?

(Don't ask me what this means, because I don't know.)

In other news:

Chinese is possibly the hardest language ever and it is definately the hardest thing I have ever attempted to learn. Two days in and I can already feel my head spinning!!!

Everyone have a great week!!!

Names, Lame and a Game

This is the last of the Names.

LIVES LIFE TO ITS FULLEST

ALWAYS KEEPS IT REAL

UNLIKE ANYONE ELSE I'VE EVER MET

READS TWILIGHT!!!!

ENTERTAINS HUNDREDS!!!

NEVER A DULL MOMENT WITH HER AROUND!!!!!

If you've been hiding under a rock or something and haven't read her blogs yet go here and here.

You know what's lame??

When you go so many nights without somthing to do, then the one night there's something you HAVE to do, you get two other options!

I'm participating in Relay For Life tonight,

Which is great, its going to benefit cancer relief and be alot of fun.

I'm just bummed because I got an offer to babysit or I could've gone on a date.

Why does this always happen????

I know not.

Here's the game.

Come up with caption for the following picture.

The best one (as decided by yours truly) will get.....

Something.

I will announce the winner next Wednesday, the 15th.

Probably.

So go for it.
