Laughter

I got a text tonight from a friend. This is what I read:

"r u outside? i can hear lovely laughter and thought u might be near."

He doesn't know it but it pretty much made my night.

Laughter is so healing.

I love to laugh. It makes me feel so warm inside!

"Courtney, it's not that funny." Is something I hear often.

But I don't care. Laughing makes me feel safe. And I love it.

Justin Hackworth told me I have an infections laugh. I was beaming!

A girl in my ward told me she laughs when I laugh.

If I can make people happy by laughing then it's just the icing on the cake.

A couple of my favorite quotes are from Audrey Hepburn and Sister Hinkcley. Check them out to the right. It is definitely the thing I like most. And crying does give me a headache!

I think Lord knew I would need to laugh a lot, so he gave me the ability to find laughter in lots of places. I am so grateful! It's one of my favorite things about me-that I laugh easily.

I hope you find some time to laugh today.

Enjoy this picture of me laughing with Mr. Hackworth!

Summer Nights

I'm itching for summer!

Wide Open Spaces

Doesn't this look so nice?

I want to go somewhere where the grass goes on forever. On horse back preferably.

You can't see where you started and you can't see where you are going. You're just in the present moment! The past and the future don't matter. Just that very moment. Pure bliss!

My Cup Runneth Over

I belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!

And it is the FREAKIN' best!

First-Conference rocked. I am really rocked!

Second-I love my calling. I love feeling the love of our Father in Heaven for his beautiful daughters! I love those girls so much. SO MUCH! I love them so much sometimes I feel like I might just blow up.

Third-I went to a baptism today. I felt the love the Savior has for that beautiful girl so strongly that I thought I might just pass out.

I hope you all have the most amazing Easter!

Please don't forget the meaning of this wonderful holiday.

HE LIVES!

-2 Degrees

I love the cold! I really do. It's so wonderful. I feel so comfortable bundled up tight to walk out the door into it. I love putting on so many layers until it feels like I might burst from the pressure.

This morning when I left for school it was -2 degrees outside! How wonderfully crisp it was as I walked to the bus stop.

Want to know my favorite part about it being so cold? It's kind of weird. And you'll probably think I'm crazy and you'll probably laugh at me. But I really do love it. It's when you walk outside and you take a big wiff of the cold air through your nose and your nose hairs FREEZE! I love it. I love that feeling. Call me crazy, but I just love it!

Welcome Winter! I hope you stay for awhile!

Don't Quit

Don't quit when the tide is lowest,
For it's just about to turn;
Don't quit over doubts and questions,
For there's something you may learn.

Don't quit when the night is darkest,
For it's just a while 'til dawn;
Don't quit when you've run the farthest,
For the race is almost won.

Don't quit when the hill is steepest,
For your goal is almost nigh;
Don't quit; for you're not a failure
Unless you fail to try.

Swing, Swing!

Today was splendidly warm! I haven't been on a swing in a long time and I used to go swing at my old elementary's playground all the time, so today I told Kelsey I wanted to go swing. We did. It was a great time!
