Natalie Gulbis Journal A Week With Auntie Val

Many of you know that I am very close to my family. My Aunt Valerie helps me feel the sense of family on the road. I have called her Auntie Val since I could talk. She is famous in our family, on tour and even in the media for her NAT PAKS. She sends me care packages once a month filled with all my favorite things and a cute fun surprise. Each pack has a theme. Last week it was Easter so there was everything in Easter theme from napkins to paper plates and every color was bright and spring shades of pink purple and lime green. She sends thank u note cards, tooth brush hair ties, ribbons, to go containers, lip gloss all the fun things a girl has at home but not on the road because its difficult to travel with those things

She also send cookies homemade breads, foods, peanut butter and jelly sandwich necessities. She has me dialed in. The attention to detail in this pak is amazing. I appreciate the effort time and love she puts into these paks

Well this week my parents, and family rented a home. Its a beautiful place with a infinite edge pool and lake. The kids splash in the pool and we have bbq”s almost every night. For me its extra spoiling because Auntie Val leaves me notes on the coffee maker for when I get up at 5 to head to the gym. She packs me a lunch for the course and has amazing dinners every night from. From home made turkeys dinners to spaghetti, steaks and she is going to teach me to make homemade key lime pie. I have learned many cooking tricks this week.

It has been great to learn more about my grandparents and our family traditions too. The mornings are so fun. There is so much going on. Everyone is cooking and getting ready for the day. There are 7 people in the house. They all get up at different times and all have a different favorite for breakfast from country fried steak, pancakes to my protein smoothie. Of course my aunt has it whipped up gourmet style in minutes.

She makes team shirts for the group that match my Adidas outfits everyday. The shirts for Sunday have a California license plate that says Nat Pak and my logo on the front. They are fantastic!!

My mom got in Thursday which completes the motherly love in my life. Its been such a treat having the family together.

I hope everyone has a great weekend.
