Da da da da! Happy 4th of July everyone! I hope you're getting ready for a jampacked weekend of food, fun, and fellowship! I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful weekend!

Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back

So who on earth is this Courtney girl? I'd like to say that I know but she's kinda been gone for like ever! Not like anyone is keeping up with my blog or anything but for the very few that are... thank you and hello there again. I've been so busy with everything. Ya know like that little nifty thing called life and it's been kind of a crazy ride. So I'll be in touch and hopefully post more often. Again. Sorry and have a fantabulous day!

I'm Thankful For.....

Thanksgiving is right aroung the corner, tomorrow actually, and I am thankful for a lot of things. I am thankful for the opportunities and blessing and talents given to me by God. For my home and my wonderful family and for my and all of my family's health. I am also thankful for the clothes and food that we are fortunate enough to have. I am thankful for the good times and things that I have been able to do and also for being fortunate enough during the economic troubles. I am also thankful for being able to live in such a country of freedom and opportunity. And again for all of my fantastic family, distant or close, for being so supportive, healthy, and loving. May everyone's thanksgiving be safe and enjoyable! God Bless!

P.S. What are you thankful for?

Happy Birthday Ta Ta!! I love you!!

I'm Back!!!

Hi everyone! I'm so sorry for the huge delay and that I haven't been updating my blog, but here I am now! So let me catch you all up! I had a birthday on Thursday and I turned 16! I still can't beleive it and does anyone know if you're supposed to feel different? Because I don't at all! Here's the real kicker! At the beginning of the month, my grandparents came over to spend the weekend with us. They went out for the afternoon with my parents to go get my mom "a new chair" as they said. But when they came back I looked out there to see the chair, but no chair! Instead, behind our truck was a red Saturn Ion with balloons! They bought me a car!! I couldn't believe it and I cried! So I finished up drivers ed on my birthday ironically, and I'm hoping to take my drivers test to get my licsense next week! If only we weren't so stinking busy!!! AHHH! But I'm trying to be as patient as possible! Oh and for everyone who called me or sent cards regarding my birthday, thank you so much for thinking of me and I really appreciate it! It was very nice of you! Also on my birthday, my varsity jacket came in! How funny and of all days for it to come in! Halloween was fun too. I don't trick or treat anymore, though fun as it is, but now I help out my mom and dad by passing out candy. It has also become a tradition that my best friend Sam comes over and hands out candy with me. We still both dress up and have a great time. This year I was a little pressed for time with my costume, but it surprisingly came out looking awesome! I was a boy for halloween and all I had to do was raid by brother's closet! My dad said that he trully didn't know that it was me at first! And school is going well, just trying to hang in there and make through the year, but that's high school for ya! Volleyball season is over, and I have my banquet on Monday, and guess what starts on Tuesday? GYMNASTICS! It's a never ending cycle of activities! I am going to make a conscience effort to update more and keep everyone up to date! Thanks again for being to patient with me!!

Future yays and nays

Here are some things that I am looking forward to during the year......... going to Michigan Adventure with the Johnstons, finishing drivers ed and getting my liscense in October, maybe getting a car, seeing my friends at school and being in choir and piano, playing in volleyball games and competing in gymnastics meets, going to Florida for Christmas to spend time with my grandparents and aunt, having my grandma come in February, finishing the 10th grade in one piece, having summer come!

Now here are some things that I am NOT looking forward to during the year........ having summer end in 3 days, having school start and be in a gynormous new school, not having some friends in my classes, winter time, midterms, conditioning at gymnastics, final exams, going into junior year when big exams count the most!!!!

Well now you know the ups and downs of my life! Does anyone else have yays and nays of their schedule? Give me a holler and let me know!

I'm SO sorry!

Wow everyone! I'm so sorry about the delay! I have been on vacation and have started up with volleyball again, so I guess I've been slacking on my blog! Well let me catch everyone up. As I said before, yes, I did make the volleyball team. Or I guess in this case, I re-made the volleyball team, cause I'm on JV again. We have practice almost everyday, so that explains my absense. I have been working really hard, infact, my whole team has. And yesterday we voted on team captains, so lets all cross our fingers. I'm really excited to find out and can't wait to start playing again. So, moving on to our next topic, the icky word, SCHOOL! There, I said it. Unfortunatly, it starts on Sept. 2, so to make it more realistic, in 12 days!!!!! Yes, it's true, it's down to a matter of days now! Well, I have to admit, I am looking forward to choir, of course, being in two awesome choirs this year, volleyball and gymnastics. As much as I love summer, I am looking forward to school, a little bit. Just keep thinking, only 3 more years of high school.... oh boy. Again, I'm sorry to keep everyone on the edge of their seats waiting for me, ha yeah right! Well, gotta run, I gotta go clean my room......uggghhhhh!
