I think I'm in Love....

No... No...not the love we all wish I had right now....but Even BETTER. I recently found this pretty little store full of pretty little things! And I wish more than anything I could have these earrings and MANY MORE:



RUCHE is the name of this beautiful little shop. In Love.....♥

{almost} March...

I wish I could have just waited a whole 48 hours to blog about this, but gosh....March is right around the corner. March means spring. Spring means almost Summer....I know that is a little bit of a stretch....but March means Spring break. I am looking out the window at the totally blue sky. I get so excited when this happens. I can't wait until the blur skies reflect good temperatures too!

Not very many exciting things are going on in my life right now....sorry for the super boring post...

SO---I guess I will do a {pre} MARCH soundtrack:

• Linkin Park- Waiting For The End

• One Republic- Good Life

• Jack's Mannequin- Dark Blue

• Justin Bieber- Favorite Girl

• Justin Bieber-Pray

I absolutely adore all of these great songs. They are ALL currently on repeat. But as you may know I go through hard core music addiction phases. At around this time last year I was on the Alicia Keys kick. But...Listen for yourselves! These will be on your March soundtrack too.

My Valentines...

I am a BIG fan of Valentines Day. There...I admitted it. Sometimes it seems pointless, and overrated, and overly talked about, and a waste of money....but it only seems to be pointless to the people who don't have a Valentine, (sigh). Even though I don't really have a special boy to be with this year...and who knows how many Februarys will pass until I do, DOESN'T mean I don't still have many Valentines....

Valentines Day and the whole month of February to me, it about LOVE, and letting the people you love, know you do.

Here are a few of my Valentines..... ♥

My Baby Ty:

I don't think you will ever be able to grow up. You will always have a special place in my heart. I love you so much. I can't wait to watch you grow up and see all of the great things you will do. You have two of the best parents in the world. You have an amazing example as a Daddy. Thank you for being my first Valentine this year....Can't wait to kiss you soon.

My Dear Momma:

This woman goes beyond words in my heart. Over the years we have not always seen eye to eye, but now that I'm all Growed up...I learned that Momma always knows whats best. I love you mom. Thank you for being so strong. Thank you for letting your baby girl cry to you on the phone when things aren't right. I love you. You are beautiful.

Kade:

My sweet baby brother. You are always on my mind! I worry that you don't know how much I love you. So hear me NOW.... I am so proud of you for everything you are doing. I love you. Great job in wrestling this year. We both know you can kick my butt. Miss you....stay away from the girls...they are trouble. I'll be the only girl in your life for now!

Kyle:

My...not so little brother. I look up to you so much for your strength and your mental toughness. You are on a very clear path to becoming an amazing man. Remember I'm only a phone call away. What a stud this year in football and wrestling. I love you and know you will always have my back. Can't wait to see you soon...

To the best Dad in the world:

Your strength amazes me. Your patience and love for me are unconditional. You are the hardest working man I know. I hope to someday marry someone who can be half the dad you are to me, to all of us...and to the sweet baby on its way. I miss you whenever I don't see you, and love hearing your laugh. You were my very first Valentine. I remember when I was little, you always made me feel like such a little lady by bringing me flowers on this special day. I miss that. I love you. Never forget it.

I could go on and on about the people I love....but the most important things to me right now...are right here. Family is what it is all about. Happy February. Happy Valentines Day.

PHONE calls....

Oh I love talking on the phone with sister. She is so funny, and no one makes me laugh harder than her. Most of the time anyway. We could talk forever I'm pretty sure, switching through subjects and gossip a million miles an hour.......then you can tell when one of us gets bored with the other.....:) We start saying ya....cool.....ya ok......subtle laugh....pity laugh......oh good.......LOL!!! THEN one of us calls each other out on it!! and then we ramble some more and the minutes by on again! Love that girl. Definitely the best best friend in the world. LOVE you Katie.

PS: I forgot to tell you that the Rock Springs local ZUMBA club performed at our half time for bball games........I ABOUT DIED. Yes- I thought of you, and it got even more funny! I'll tell you more about it. Call me.

I can do anything good!

You may have seen this a million times.....or maybe not. BUT I look up to this little girl.

Untill we all can look in the mirror and say these things everyday......Keep watching it.

I hope you have a wonderful day. And hey....its February, find something to be happy about!! Tell someone you love them.

And remeber....you can do anything GOOD......

XOXO Kortnie

Its been a whole year....

My best Friend...Ricky, has been gone for a whole year. Only February 2, 2010 he left for Basic Training for the Army National Guard. He was gone untill May in which he came home for two weeks before leaving again....For the best two years of his life.

He has been out in the mission field for almost 8 months. (only 16 more to go). This boy has become a very big part of my life. He is out serving the Lord and becoming a better person. I can't believe everything that has happened in this year. So much for us....him....me....and everyone else in our lives. Just thought I would let you know its been a year. Yup....Its been a whole year....

I saw the sign.....

(Sing this to yourself)

I SAW THE SIGN...and it opened up my eyes...I Saw The Sign!!!!!

This sign...made my day.

After ending practice last night at 10:30,

Getting in the shower and ready for bed by 11:00

Feelin a little insomniac again falling asleep around 12:30....

Waking up at 6:00 to run sprints......

♥You better believe this sign made my day. Thank you Chuck for letting me have a 2 hour much needed nap.♥

I try so hard to get so much done in a day, but when you are physically tired, it gets a little tough. But I made it. Love Tuesdays.

XOXO Kortnie

PS:Valentines post coming soon.....♥
