Tear Jerker

It has been 10 years, 10 years since Nate and 9 other men lost their lives.  I honestly can't believe it was 10 years ago.  I remember the night so well - me and a couple other friends stayed in that night because we felt "weird" - weird as in something didn't seem right and we just wanted to stay in.  This was pretty rare for us partying  "lounge rats" as the upper classmen referred to us Pi Phi sophmores.  We were in our "rat lounge" watching tv when we heard of a reported crash. We immediately start calling Nate's phone - straight to voicemail.  We probably dialed his number a bazillion times that night, only to hear his voice on voicemail.  Nate was a great guy. I will always remember him with the best of memories.  Right before the crash, he had told us girls about this new singer named John Mayer, let's just say, Nate knew this guy was going to make it :) Below is an article about Nate, warning grab your kleenex's now... this article, along with the Outside the Lines video, is of course so sad but at the same time really illustrates what an awesome person Nate was!!
