Natalie Johanna

Natalie Johanna loves to watch tv. Her favorite things to watch are Cubs games and Degrassi: the next generation. Her birthday is December 2, making her a Sagittarius. Natalie is a clear thinker and likes to explore. Nat is friendly, straightforward, and honest. She likes when people agree with what she has to say, but she will listen to one's point of view before giving her own. Natalie loves to dress up for special occassions, but she also loves to play and be a tomboy. Natty is a terrific gymnast and loves to compete. She loves the uneven bars. Though not immediately obvious, Natalie is a rock chick. She loves fast and loud guitars and can frequently be found jumping around in her room to the Foo Fighters or Linkin Park. (Her dad is always telling her to turn it up). She has a dog named Coconut, whom she sometimes forgets to keep an eye on. Once, Coconut ran away and got into the neighbor's flower bed! Natalie felt terrible about that, and had to give an embarrassing apology.

bedroom

Natalie and Samantha love to dress up and listen to music in Nat's bedroom.

cubs fan Natalie is wearing the exclusive Cubs jersey and cap, given to girls 14 and under at the Chicago Cubs v. Milwaukee Brewers game on June 26, 2003 at Wrigley Field.

Natalie lives in LA now but that doesn't stop her from being a Cubs fan! She and Kailey argue over who is a better team: Dodgers or Cubs! Kailey is hoping that she will be able to get a Dodgers jersey someday.

playoffs

Nat was so excited about the Cubs being in the playoffs in 2003! She watched every game in front of the tv... I told her it was bad for her eyes but she insisted on sitting that close! I figured it was ok since the Cubs have not won the World Series since 1908 and this is a great accomplishment to be in the playoffs again!

Natalie loves gymnastics! She was jealous that I got to go see the 2003 world championship All-Around competition and the 2004 Olympic Trials (prelims and finals). Here is a picture that I took from the Trials with Natalie's favorites in the front.
