We begin our weekends with a "Welcome Dinner" and open mic night on Friday, then ease into Saturday with a hearty breakfast and outline of the day's activities. Sundays begin with a casual breakfast then we say "farewell" to our families.

In 2008, Natalee graduated from Santa Fe high school in Santa Fe, Texas. She then joined the USAF as a vehicle operator and received orders to Japan.

Natalee spends her days taking care of her two children and enjoying life with her partner, Justin White, an Army veteran she met after her husband’s death, who saved her life. 

Throughout her 34 yrs, Natalee has overcome many tragic events and today, she shares her traumatic past in hopes to inspire others struggling with complex grief, mental health and addiction.
