Des Moines

Little-known fact about Natalie #4:

Painting houses is one of my favorite things to do in the entire world.

Yes, houses. And it's all about using handbrushes and rollers, baby! Every year the mid-hi group of my church in Iowa goes to Des Moines for a mission trip. I was a senior-hi leader on the trip for three years. I always enjoyed working at every site during the trip, but enjoyed working on the house the most (they work on a family's house each year). I wish I were able to do this every summer! And I honestly wish that when my parents had the house painted a couple years ago that we had done it ourselves.
