Its SO awesome. It was in Sandy this year. Actually, it might be there every year, but I went for the first time this year..so I'm not sure.. Anyways! Its a really great thing where people decorate trees, make quilts, make gingerbread houses, and bring other things to auction off for a Children's Hospital up here. &amp;amp; The trees are done in honor of kids and some adults who have an illness or have passed away. I'm sure there is alot more to it, but that's just the short story of what I was told. SO. I knew of a tree that was being decorated, and saw one that I recognized! It was really cool. I walked around for a little more than an hour but felt like I could have been there all day reading the stories and looking at everything. They even had a little booths to entertain the kids, food, and different performing acts. Gah, way tight. I would add more pictures, since I took a ton, but I don't have that patience moving them around on here. But. Here are the two trees I knew about, and their stories.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 241px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 292px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547669808297245586" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rKcPGpSCaEk/TP1ITD63e5I/AAAAAAAAAQA/e5LzaBcKzrw/s320/IMG_0004.JPG" /&gt;This little girl's story can be read here written by her mom: &lt;a href="http://kendraandryanwebster.blogspot.com/2010/12/festival-of-trees.html"&gt;http://kendraandryanwebster.blogspot.com/2010/12/festival-of-trees.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547670670983004274" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rKcPGpSCaEk/TP1JFRrLgHI/AAAAAAAAAQI/R7uRXUnD4C4/s320/IMG_0021.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;amp; This girl's story can be read here: &lt;a href="http://www.deseretnews.com/article/700072233/Death-of-teen-girl-is-latest-in-string-of-tragedies-for-Orem-family.html?pg=1"&gt;http://www.deseretnews.com/article/700072233/Death-of-teen-girl-is-latest-in-string-of-tragedies-for-Orem-family.html?pg=1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I'm sorry if either of those made you cry. They are so sad. But I loved that there were trees for them, because they both sounded like the sweetest girls.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;amp; I'm also sorry if this makes you cry. But I thought I should share it, because it was that. great. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So in Relief Society yesterday, Annie, gave the lesson. Annie's the President. She said she saw this little movie and thought "I HAVE to let my girls see this! Its just what we, as sisters need. The brothers too, but I know its what my girls need to hear right now." So she tried downloading it but couldn't figure it out. So she contacted the lady who made the movie..The woman said it wasn't for sale but that she would send Annie a free copy. Annie was so happy she could hardly stand it. She asked if it could be mailed to her by Friday. The woman asked why the urgency? Annie explained to her about the Relief Society real quick and the impression that she should show us girls. The woman agreed and Annie got it Saturday. (Pause! Now, Rewind.) Saturday night I was working. It was about 11:45pmish and baby Mitch was fussy. He wasn't wanting to eat, but wasn't going to sleep. So as I was walking back and forth rocking him I had the impression to sing some children's songbook songs. So I started with I Am a Child of God, than A Child's Prayer, Mary's Lullaby, and a few hymns to end. As soon as I was done with the first verse of the first song, he calmed down. Then I calmed down, even though I wasn't really frustrated, I was just seriously comforted. He fell asleep so I sat in the rocking chair and continued..as I kept singing the songs, I was thinking about Mitch Jr's family. Everything that they have been going through emotionally, and what a great job they had been doing dealing with it all. Here's Mitch's Obituary &lt;a href="http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/azcentral/obituary.aspx?n=mitchell-kent-menlove&amp;amp;pid=144191074"&gt;http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/azcentral/obituary.aspx?n=mitchell-kent-menlove&amp;amp;pid=144191074&lt;/a&gt; I got emotional and just felt so blessed to be helping out Elizabeth and the kids. Blessed that I still have my dad. Blessed that we have the gospel in our lives. Blessed that I am A Child of God. (Fast Forward.) Sunday afternoon for testimony meeting, Drew or Bishop Menlove, who is Mitch's brother..went first. He gave a strong, heartfelt, pure testimony of our Savior Jesus Christ and the many blessings he has received for he and his family. He didn't say anything about Mitch, but the way he spoke about Christ being our brother, it was as if he was basically talking about Mitch. It was awesome to listen to it. (Unpause! Back to RS.) Annie started her lesson by having us read some scriptures about our self worth in our Heavenly Father's eyes. She set up a list in our minds to think about in our lives as we watched this movie. I'm going to now say that you really need to watch this.. Part one: &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtxANzN2Woo"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtxANzN2Woo&lt;/a&gt; &amp;amp; Part two: &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4um8qubQh0"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4um8qubQh0&lt;/a&gt;   I loved this little movie. Most of the women had tears in their eyes as Annie got up, with tears streaming down her face, to close the lesson. She gave each one of us a butterfly button to remind us that we should lift ourselves up and to do the same with those around us. That we are children of our Heavenly Father who loves us, and who cares about our well being. I know I'm not doing her lesson justice, but I hope you get the point. The spirit was tugging on my heart and it felt like I had a warm fuzzy blanket around me. Best. Feeling. Ever. In those 24 hours, my testimony has been strengthened and has grown, because I wanted that comfort. The Lord wants us to be happy, so when we are open and willing, he is ready and able. When I am told "Cortney, you're amazing." Or "You're beautiful." Or "You're an amazing person." My first thought is to dismiss it with a "Ha, whatever." Or "Yeah yeah" But if they are saying it, and the Lord knows it, why shouldn't I believe it. It was a little turning point for me. A little growing and understanding moment. &amp;amp; It was just for me. This time of year is my favorite. And I love that its another reminder to count your blessings. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sorry this is kinda long. Just thought since I was on a roll with the posting, I'd keep in going. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Two more things.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1) I got to go with Caity to The First Presidency Christmas Devotional at the Conference Center last night. It was beautiful! The messages were awesome. And the music was amazing. :)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2) I went to the Mavericks &amp;amp; Jazz game on Friday. We won, 93 to 81..that's right. I was wearing my Mavs gear and got some trash talk coming towards me and behind me. But at the end of the game, I turned around just gave them a little smirk and walked out of that place proud to be a Texan. :)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;P.S. 12 more days til I'm in Texas.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thanks for reading.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Peace up. A-Town down.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/682782191472613828-2590348651712826738?l=cortneyfaith.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cortneyfaith.blogspot.com/feeds/2590348651712826738/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=682782191472613828&amp;postID=2590348651712826738&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/682782191472613828/posts/default/2590348651712826738'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/682782191472613828/posts/default/2590348651712826738'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cortneyfaith.blogspot.com/2010/12/moments.html' title='Moments.'/><author><name>Just Coco</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12163085680235034158</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rKcPGpSCaEk/TPP0TtSIYUI/AAAAAAAAANQ/g44A8iQASA0/S220/WebCam_20100822_1322%25282%2529.bmp'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rKcPGpSCaEk/TP1ITD63e5I/AAAAAAAAAQA/e5LzaBcKzrw/s72-c/IMG_0004.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-682782191472613828.post-6531164463568583638</id><published>2010-12-02T14:02:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-12-02T15:14:28.535-08:00</updated><title type='text'>A Very Special Christmas.</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So. In my last post I said somethin bout gettin early Christmas presents. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;amp; I got them! Holla Balla.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So. Here they are, if you care to know. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;A) Ive been known to have said a few times, "Oh I dont want an iPhone." "Its over rated." "Blah Blah Blah" But I ran out of room on my iPod last week. So I treated myself to a new 4th Generation iTouch. You see how happy she is?! Maybe its cause shes talking to her boyfriend? Either way..I question why I denied myself such happyness.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 291px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 179px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5546214812590067410" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rKcPGpSCaEk/TPgc_KhwztI/AAAAAAAAAPI/VNzxoujb554/s320/ipod-touch-4th-gen.jpg" /&gt; So its not an iPhone, but still has most of the fun things. I take back some of my remarks, because its so helpful! And fun. And slightly addicting. Thus, why I didnt want one. But I gave in, kinda. The result: Im so happy I got it! &amp;amp; My iPod Nano will be in great hands, that will love it and care for it! Win Win. Winner Winner Chicken Dinner. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now for the next present!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2) Since my nannyfamily will be traveling back to Arizona for Christmas and New Years..&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That means I get one of these: &lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 264px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 196px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5546217187787478770" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rKcPGpSCaEk/TPgfJa09FvI/AAAAAAAAAPQ/fo4qRVhm1sE/s320/airline-ticket.jpg" /&gt;And I get to ride one of these:&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 321px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 155px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5546217741203965682" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rKcPGpSCaEk/TPgfpoduhvI/AAAAAAAAAPY/tyQYiSbHyIE/s320/americanairlines.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Which will land me here:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 241px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 196px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5546218735187700034" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rKcPGpSCaEk/TPggjfV6qUI/AAAAAAAAAPg/QtxBMoDbxwA/s320/home-big-huge-texas.gif" /&gt;Not where the star is, but you get the point! I'll be home for a full 18 days of fun, smiling, eating, sleeping, playing, not sleeping, laughing, lovin on puppies, family, secondfamily, kids, friends, watching movies, jammin out, Christmas time goodness. Pure bliss. Im so stoked. I started giggling when I bought my tickets today. I leave Utard on the 18th, and return the 5th. Dont get my wrong..I really like Utah. They have Great Harvest Bread, (sad that the first thing I thought of was food) The beautiful mountains, plus lots of family here. BUT. I seriously love Texas. I cant imagine raisin my kids anywhere else. I heart it. God Bless America? Yes, but God Bless Texas a lil more. ;)&lt;p&gt;P.S.

Loverly. Cue picture number one. My favorite is when its like today. The snow is everywhere, but not on the roads, and the sun is shiny! SO pretty. Love it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 283px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545063057747279874" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rKcPGpSCaEk/TPQFeNYrAAI/AAAAAAAAAOI/K5x_ZT_LY8s/s320/p_00662.jpg" /&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;2) Nanny job is going well! I love this kids, and their family is so awesome. Little 411 for those of you just joining in.. Elizabeth is a mother of four..three boys and a girl. Max, 10. Morgan, 8. McKenzie 4. And Mitch Jr, 3 months. Her husband, Mitch, passed away from an unexpected heart attack and stroke two weeks before Mitchie was born. Her nanny and close family friend was leaving, so I found out about the job through my friend Tyler..whose bishop is Mitch's brother. Anywho. It feels good helping them out, and they are a sweet family whos been through heck, but they are doing well. I will take more pictures as time goes by, but for now, meet baby Mitch! He is &lt;em&gt;always &lt;/em&gt;smiling with his die for dimples. Cue picture number two. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 252px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 292px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545067989480444850" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rKcPGpSCaEk/TPQJ9RhfE7I/AAAAAAAAAOQ/i76xuoCb4jQ/s320/p_00632.jpg" /&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3) Devin &amp;amp; Dallas got married! So fetch. Caity and I chipped in on a gift for the lovebirds, and it was great to see the Ladners, they be a tight family. Cue pictures three and four.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 230px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545068843418078994" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rKcPGpSCaEk/TPQKu-sFTxI/AAAAAAAAAOY/_358UsMdDsk/s320/p_00645.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 312px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 239px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545068940695878338" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rKcPGpSCaEk/TPQK0pE6usI/AAAAAAAAAOg/dlCo__LjUf0/s320/74838_10150104283432316_786167315_7442186_7288395_n.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;4)Olivia Grace MacDonnell is finally here! She's beautiful. Chelseas preggo again, baby number four, and hopefully baby boy Fullmer, lol. &amp;amp; Theron, my buddy, turned five. I feel old. I love the kids in that family. And the big kids too ;)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;5) Christmas is coming! I LOVE Christmas. I love fall time..its a favorite. But Christmas is my most favorite. Cue picture number five. If you havent watched this movie yet, shame on you. &lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 216px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 188px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545071177532829394" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rKcPGpSCaEk/TPQM218Z7tI/AAAAAAAAAOo/Wv2uLnQKa60/s320/elf.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;5) Can you say Black Friday? It was my first time..and my body hated me for it. We were at Walmart from 10 p.m. til 6 a.m..but I had alot of fun! I was just in so much pain the last three hours with my lower back and knee, never again. Although, I say that now but it prolly will happen again. I did get 24 movies though, and most were 2 bucks. Not bad.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;6)Learning how to get around Utah is different with all the numbers and North, South, East, and West is junk. I would like to say Ive got a handle of it, but until Im being honest, my gps..Bailey Garmin has been very good to me. &amp;amp; A shout out to my car too, shes done well in this weather so far.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;7) Having no t.v. has been quite good for me. Ive narrowed it down to only three shows. All of which I can view online. :)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;8) I miss my best friend. There are times when I go to turn next to me to ask her if she just saw what I just saw, but instead Im laughing by myself and trying to send her a picture of what I just saw, but its not quite the same, lol. Beth's been awesome, and I just wanted to give her a holla as well. P.S.Mylifewouldsuckwithoutyou!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;9) I treated myself to a Christmas present early this year. I should have it this week. Then. You will know too! But now come to think of it..I got two presents. Both of which will be here this week, ha. I love Christmas! I will share the news once I have them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;10) Ive met some really splended people up here in the land of Utard! But thank you to my Aunt, who is housing/putting up with me for the moment. Mom &amp;amp; Dad, for helping me get here, and understanding that I still care about yall even though I only call like two times a week..I'll try harder. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Alright kiddos. Im pretty fetchin sure I left out a ton of things, but thats why we keep posting. :)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/682782191472613828-9002874236976764589?l=cortneyfaith.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cortneyfaith.blogspot.com/feeds/9002874236976764589/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=682782191472613828&amp;postID=9002874236976764589&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/682782191472613828/posts/default/9002874236976764589'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/682782191472613828/posts/default/9002874236976764589'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cortneyfaith.blogspot.com/2010/11/shocking-i-know.html' title='Shocking, I know.'/><author><name>Just Coco</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12163085680235034158</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rKcPGpSCaEk/TPP0TtSIYUI/AAAAAAAAANQ/g44A8iQASA0/S220/WebCam_20100822_1322%25282%2529.bmp'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rKcPGpSCaEk/TPQFeNYrAAI/AAAAAAAAAOI/K5x_ZT_LY8s/s72-c/p_00662.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-682782191472613828.post-7891499352458815548</id><published>2010-11-29T00:07:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-11-29T00:27:02.235-08:00</updated><title type='text'>They call me Coco</title><content type='html'>I love country music.

I did get to be with extended family, nice. I did get to spend time with both sides of the family, nice. I did get to watch a whole football game, nice. I did get to eat pumpkin pie, nice. I did get to see beautiful mountians, way nice. I did get to wear a Texas shirt, nice. I did get to laugh, nice. I did get to remember all the 1028934984+ blessings I have in my life. I did get to think of the gospel, my family and friends and how much they mean to me.

That I am strong. That I can do anything that I want to do. Who means the most in my life. What I like and don't like. That I cant please everyone. That I am important. That I need to have fun. That I need to be more confident. That I am loved. That I am a daughter, sister, friend, niece, granddaughter, 'aunt'. And that I can make a difference. &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My little brother and I are competing to lose the most weight in two weeks..but my goal is to keep going for a month. I yearn to be back in my clothes that just hang in my closet, and to go to the pool and not be embarrassed. I want to wear shorts in the summer. I want to lay in the sun. I want to go out with my friends and do physical things. I want to live my flippin life! I'm doing it for me..but having fun with my brother is good too. &amp;amp; To meet this goal my three main sidekicks are.... &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 69px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457596628782368946" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rKcPGpSCaEk/S71HN-HxSLI/AAAAAAAAAMo/y0Uz2lkUXOQ/s320/weight-watchers.jpg" /&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 179px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 252px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457596544244084962" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rKcPGpSCaEk/S71HJDMRcOI/AAAAAAAAAMg/065XIMoQh-E/s320/jillian-michaels-30-day-shred.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 158px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457597032044828034" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rKcPGpSCaEk/S71HlcZCFYI/AAAAAAAAAMw/t11btWnU5WM/s320/35804_thebiggestloserworkoutbootcamp.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;I can do it! I know I can! Come June 5th I want it to be a new decade of life, a new body and a more confident me. Now all I have to do is avoid all the sweets my little tooth wants..lol. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Music also is something I deeply love. Love to listen to, love to play, love to love. It helps keep my motivated and energized. Its funny how it can match any mood you are in.. &amp;amp; My first song on my playlist by Kris Allen (A new fav) is my new motto.. There are no boundaries!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Oh, and shout out to Katherine who really got me motivated.

Next to ice cream, its the best thing ever invented. I adore the creator of this idea.

Peanut butter m&amp;amp;ms. Dove chocolate with peanut butter. Its all almost a sin to eat. But we're in a world of sin, so why not go along with the flow? I mean, everyone else is doing it!&lt;br /&gt;So Dove puts cute little sayings on the foil that wraps your little piece of heaven. I like seeing what they thought of next, and if it applies to my life at all. For Christmas I got a bag of..you guessed it..Peanut butter filled Doves all to myself. It was in my stocking next to my coal. Thanks a lot Santa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Anywho&lt;/span&gt;.

Some are: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;*That I can do anything I set my mind to do. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;*That Im stronger than I thought. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;*That the gospel is apart of my every day life. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;*That Im true to who I am. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Ive had a rough, fun, sad, happy, crazy, quite interesting past few weeks. I feel like I could climb a mountian and be okay. I know I will be okay, but it doesnt mean it will be easy. I have so many people in my life who are there for me, not to mention my family, who has always been there..I am so blessed. Being able ot take a step back and look at where I am in my life is humbling. Ive had so many opportunities and Im only nineteen and a half. Over these last few days Ive felt like Ive grown in so many ways. Getting older is kinda scary but fun..so here I go one day at a time.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/682782191472613828-2872935746800390828?l=cortneyfaith.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cortneyfaith.blogspot.com/feeds/2872935746800390828/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=682782191472613828&amp;postID=2872935746800390828&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/682782191472613828/posts/default/2872935746800390828'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/682782191472613828/posts/default/2872935746800390828'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cortneyfaith.blogspot.com/2009/12/me.html' title='Me.'/><author><name>Just Coco</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12163085680235034158</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rKcPGpSCaEk/TPP0TtSIYUI/AAAAAAAAANQ/g44A8iQASA0/S220/WebCam_20100822_1322%25282%2529.bmp'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-682782191472613828.post-3882383935362314178</id><published>2009-09-23T07:52:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-23T08:58:13.229-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Dear Stacey Lin</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Happy 21st Birthday Stamacey!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384689894191127858" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rKcPGpSCaEk/SrpC7fDl3TI/AAAAAAAAAIw/Nk9Hj4Ffo8k/s320/100_0921.JPG" /&gt; &lt;div align="center"&gt;She's the best sister anyone could ever want..&amp;amp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;She's the bestest best friend that you could ever ask for..&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Here is 21 twenty one reasons why you are the greatest.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;1) You're sense of humor is hilarious. I love how witty and sarcastic you are, and how you still let me have those "pee in your pants you're laughing so hard" kinda moments.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;2) You're a wonderful listener. I can always come to you went I need to , or just to talk about random things and I know you'll be there for me. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;3) You give some of the best advice. Its legit and from the heart. You'll say what needs to be said and then make me smile and feel better.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;4) You're strong in the gospel. You've always been a great example to me with how you handle church callings and responsibilities. You know how to have fun but also not get to buck wild.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;5) You're so smart. You do great at all you do.

Props to you.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;6) You can just sit and read a book.

I love that you can tell us how it is but its because you want us to be who you know we can be.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;8) You're also thoughtful and caring. Even if you're busy you're thinking about someone wondering how they are, and might randomly ask us how we are doing.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;9) You're so gorgeous. I heart your face.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;10) You're so kind. When someones being down or someones crossed the line, you'll straighten us out some til we're nicer, or help out.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;11) You're always trying to be better. Just when I thought you have done it all, you're going off and getting an oscar or something.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;12) I love that you're my twin. I hope we always have matching outfits.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;13) You're very creative. You can make such cute things with anything.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;14) I love that even though you're a million miles away, and dont talk as much as we would like, you still love me and know I lav you too.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;15) You love the gospel and live it day to day.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;16) I love that we have our songs and and how we sing in the car when you're home.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;17) I love our wall to wall quotation times we always do, and just quoting with you.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;18) I love that we got to spend time together and got to graduate high school together.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;19) You know how to work out situations and make things right that were off. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20) I love how you always support me. You always have my back and are there to help me in anyway you can.

Lets play catch up..ready, set go!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::&lt;/div&gt;I FINALLY got my patriarchal blessing August 6th. I dont know why I waited so long, fear is lame. I love my blessing so much though. Everytime I read it, BAM, hello..here's some more insight for you! Its legit.&lt;br /&gt;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;Dear Stacey's gone again. Back to Utah in the land of the big BYU. Why we only took like two pictures togther all summer? I have no flippin idea! Whatever, Im getting cheese fries.&lt;br /&gt;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;Two weekends ago I got to go to Colorado with Luke. His sister Briana needed help with her roof, and Luke wanted me to go and meet her and her family. She and Chris (her husband) got us plane tickets, how flippin kind, and off we flew. They live in Cheyenne Wells which is two hours from Denver near Kansas. We got in Friday night and Saturday we went to work! Luke, Briana, Chris and Briana's friend Stacey (I dont know if thats how she spells her name, but thats how Im rollin with it) anyways, they all got up on the roof and didnt mess around. There were a few battle wounds but it was worth it. I got to keep an eye on the five kids and play with them, but also answer all of their questions because hey didnt hold back, lol. Sierra, Ridge, Brynlee, Rhiwan, and Snowdon..good funny kids. They are coming down to Texas Labor Day weekend for the BYU-Oklahoma game in the Cowboys Stadium (hollerr)..that will be way fun to see them again so soon. I didnt take any pictures in Colorado either, fail.&lt;br /&gt;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;Last Thursday my mom, Dana and I all went to Houston..well Katy really. Anyways, we went to try on wedding dresses..that was fun! We left in the morning, got to College Station so we could pick up Dala. We got Subway for lunch, gah..I love Subway. Then we drove on down there. Dana's first dress she tried on was way pretty and it looked great on her! I had ones that I liked but werent in love with..they just didnt seem quite like 'Cortney' dresses. But were cute non the less. It was good becuase I found out things about the dresses that I thought I liked and ones I thought I didnt..plus I got to spend time with Dana..ballerr.&lt;br /&gt;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;Then Friday night, Luke and I got to Burleson where his brother Nathan lives. We took his oldest niece Angel out on a 'date.' She is SO sweet! She's full of life and is smart and loving. Im amazed sometimes that she is younger then my little brother Tyler. Of course girls do mature faster, lol. We were going to go see Band Slam, because two votes to one vote wins, but it stopped showing at 4ish, lame. So we went to Braums, score. I LOVE ice cream. Its a weakness of mine and will be the first to admit it. I got a double dip with chocolate chip cookie dough and peanut butter cup, heavenly. Then we just went back and chilled with her, Nathan, and Jaquie (my bad if its spelled different!). &amp;amp; That was really nice to talk with them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then Saturday morning I got to go out to brunch with Beth, Marlee, Chelsea and Lyla! We went to the Corner Bakery, oh dang. Beth got this pumpkin muffin that was so yummy. They have these huge cinnamon rolls too, if you havent had one, go get one. After chatting it up and eating we went to Hobby Lobby (Love that store) to look for fabric. Marlee got stuff to make these picture holder/bulletin board things that is super cute. We went back to her apartment and she and Bef put the fabric on the board, they she was going to criss cross the ribbon to make something like this..&lt;a href="http://i.ehow.com/images/GlobalPhoto/Articles/4869808/149794-main_Full.jpg"&gt;http://i.ehow.com/images/GlobalPhoto/Articles/4869808/149794-main_Full.jpg&lt;/a&gt; ..but it is cuter then this one. Anywho. That was good fun!&lt;br /&gt;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;This weekend was Stake Conference. I really love it too. President Porter and his counselors are the bomb.com. Its so sincere when they speak to us and I really like hearing the stake sing together. Saturday night was the Adult session and I sadly forgot to bring my spiral so I could take notes (that way I also dont fall asleep) but I didnt bring it, so no notes. But I loved it, there was a nice spirit that was there. Sister Evelyn got released from Young Womens Presidency and Im sure it was a bittersweeet thing for her. I loved having the same pesidency throughout most of my young women days, it was comforting and I love them..duh.&lt;br /&gt;Sunday morning was with the whole stake, except some spanish speaking members becuase they were having a session at 12 for those who wanted and needed to listen in Spanish. This time I didnt not forget my spiral. So I have notes from this one, lol. A main focus was on the Temple and it was great! I loved hearing how all the topics melted together and that I learned a few things. I wrote down something that I thought was really cool. "Doing your geneology is an important work, it progresses to temple work, which can bring the gospel to everyone, and everyone's connected, thus you are changing the world one name at a time."&lt;br /&gt;After conference we went to Lukes house, made lunch (yummy), cleaned up some (always love that) and watched Twilight (which I actually like and am excited for New Moon). Then we went to my house and chilled with my family for a little bit. Luke taught me how to say I know the church is true in chinese, and had a little conversation, (I was proud of myself). That night we got to go to Plano with the Elders up there and talk to a little chinese family about prophets and the book of mormon. I got to tell the father what I learned in chinese, that was funny cause I choked, just happens when Im put on the spot with speaking it. But I really like learning that language, its so interesting, lol. They finished up the lesson a little early so we got to stop by Debmom's home, love it there. Maybe its the food..I dont know..haha. "Jk lol." They all make me happy. Lukas is talking so clear now..its amazing what about 3 weeks can do..I could understand what he said! Emma too! I love seeing all the little ones personalities grow. Too cute.&lt;br /&gt;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;Well Devin's gone too. Up to the land of the big BYU..except she's going to Utah College of Dental Hygiene (She is so fetch). Im so excited for her, she'll do great!&lt;br /&gt;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;Beth Anne MacDonnell is officially a senior in high school now. Crazy sauce! Im so proud of her and I hope she has a great year. She's a hottfinamug with a sweet spirit and love to death with all my heart. B is for Beautiful finamug. E is for Energetic finamug. T is for Togther by my side finamug. H is for Honestly sincere finamug. I love her stinkin guts, she makes me smile. Two for you Glen Coco, you go Glen Coco! :]&lt;br /&gt;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;One last thing. Prayer and scripture study are so important in my life and especially right now. My life is changing, imagine that. Faith is central to who we are and is essental to who we'll become. Having Faith in our Heavenly Father is a peaceful thing. &amp;amp; I love ALL of my family, blood or not. Til the next post. Peace out dude.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373612537463250530" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rKcPGpSCaEk/SpLoIdgVHmI/AAAAAAAAAF0/sxDudb0BD6Q/s200/100_1649.JPG" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Just because she called me when I was writing this post.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt; &amp;amp; She's the bomb.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/682782191472613828-7868934211824799222?l=cortneyfaith.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cortneyfaith.blogspot.com/feeds/7868934211824799222/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=682782191472613828&amp;postID=7868934211824799222&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/682782191472613828/posts/default/7868934211824799222'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/682782191472613828/posts/default/7868934211824799222'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cortneyfaith.blogspot.com/2009/08/moments.html' title='Moments'/><author><name>Just Coco</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12163085680235034158</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rKcPGpSCaEk/TPP0TtSIYUI/AAAAAAAAANQ/g44A8iQASA0/S220/WebCam_20100822_1322%25282%2529.bmp'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rKcPGpSCaEk/SpLoIdgVHmI/AAAAAAAAAF0/sxDudb0BD6Q/s72-c/100_1649.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-682782191472613828.post-1695559412211511742</id><published>2009-05-08T11:45:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-08T11:59:39.432-07:00</updated><title type='text'>I know.</title><content type='html'>I barely started this blog and I cant keep up with it.
