Day 7

Day 7 - A thank you letter to someone who has changed your life.


This is so difficult. There are so many people who have changed my life. So I'm going to make this general, out to all my friends.

To whom it may concern,
Thank you for everything you have done for me. Thank you for putting up with me, and most importantly, for not giving up on me. Thank you for pushing me to reach for my full potential instead of settling with the mediocre. You have changed my life so much just by being there.

Thank you for including me. I spent a lot of my life where people made plans around me. It never bothered me, and I didn't really notice it until I had friends who made plans with me.

Thank you for listening to my issues. I know I complain a lot, and yet you put up with me.

Thank you for making me laugh. And in turn for not making too much fun of me for my bad sense of humor.

Thank you for getting along with my crazy family. I know we're nuts, but we are a package deal!
It means a lot that so many of my friends feel so at home in my house.

Thank you for teaching me how to laugh at myself.

All my love,
Courtney,Courtney Mae, Chiclet. Whatever it is you call me :)

Well of course! ;)

Day 6

Day 6 - All your nicknames and who calls you them

See my blog post about this :) It's got them all listed with stories included!

Day Number 5

Day 5 - A picture taken near the most recent holiday. Mothers Day!!!! Does that count? I think it should. After all, it celebrates some of the most amazing people on the face of this earth!!!

Day 3 and 4

I know, I know. Second day in and I already failed. But I do have an excuse ( naturally) I was gone all day yesterday and when I was home, I was doing a Harry Potter marathon. And now I'm off to visit my grandma.

Day 3 - A song that you want to play at your wedding.
I honestly have no idea. Some sort of amazing piano music during the ceremony will happen. But as far as a particular song, nothing comes to mind. It'll depend on the guy I marry I guess!

Day 4 - Lyrics to a song that describes your life.
Homeschool Family by Tim Hawkins. Minus the jean skirts and overalls.

From The Mouths Of Babes

--Erin: You know that song " When I get older" it really should be " If I get older" because...you don't know if you'll get old. You might die, you know. :D

--Said to my friend: He was a very respectful boy." (emphasis on the "k" sound in respectful)

--It's ok Courtney, Mom just doesn't understand you!


--Dad : I've gotta show you the shortest man in the Bible!! He's a Shuhite!





-long akward pause while neither Ashley nor Erin get it-





Erin: Shu....Shoe....OOOHH!!!!!! SHOE-HEIGHT!!!!!!!!!!





Dad: Ya, and then there's the guy with no parents. Josua son of Nun.





Erin: Ya, he had no family. Where did he come from!?








--Erin: My nickname is 'awesome.' Actually. It really is. ALL the boys say so.

--Erin to the guy beside us at the stoplight " Ummm excuse me, you're not sexy so don't look at my sister like that" [ he was laughing at me for singing in the car :) ]

--Erin: Courtney, if you need like a ruler, or a pencil...like..don't even worry.....like...I've totally got one.

--Erin: Mom..I just need more candy...I've had waaaay to much healthy stuff lately

Mom: Aren't you eating ice cream?

Erin: Ya...but I took the sugar out first.....actually...I did.....

--Erin ( while praying) : Thank you for the wedding we could go to yesterday, and let them care about each other, and let them have babies whenever they want.

--Erin( again...while praying): Please be with mom and dad and their buisness together.

There are so many more things that she's said, but I'm awful at writing them down so that I can let you all enjoy the insightful comments of a eight-year-old stand up comedian.

I am going to start being more consistant in writing them down, and post more of these. :)
