Gleek!

Day 14 - A TV show you're currently addicted to.


Well I do love Glee, I do. But i've been pretty disappointed with it lately. There's been a few good songs, but everything seems to be about sex and con traversal subjects and such. Ya know? I understand why they do it... but It's just taking away from it's great-ness! I don't see why they had to have 2 girls basically kiss...? But I continue to watch it. My favorite thing? Is that I have a Glee Buddy.. you guessed it, Tyler. We have Glee nights every Tuesday. It's quite fantastic. We'll see how tonight's episode goes. I haven't heard anything about it, so it should be interesting :)

Tyler and I a few weeks ago on Glee night

My dear friend Oj Yma made this for me, cute isn't it? :) I love it!

And I love you all :)

Peace & Blessings

Say what?

Day 13 - Your favorite musician and why?


I honestly can't answer this one... so, I'm I refuse :) I enjoy ALL kinds of music.. except for screamo nasty gag me crap and some country. ya know what i'm sayin?


*I just want you all to know that my family ate dinner without me.. and I was in my room. My little brother didn't feel the need to tell them I was just down stairs and the rest of them didn't think to see if I was even home.. lovely eh?


I really do have a great life :P


I guess i'll go eat by myself... bum holes.


I love you all!


Peace & Blessings

My Weekend :)

My weekend was full of laughter, screams, sweat, pumpkins, singing & great company!

   I was able to go to Dr. Slaughters with Tyler this weekend. I haven't quite figured out why we pay to have people in masks to scare us... But it was worth it! We stood in line for a VERY long time, with these 12 year old behind us that were all up in our grills. It was great. And we saw some pretty sweet dancers dressed as mummies and the guy from SAW. CREEPY!!! Tyler and I didnt get put in a group like we thought we might. NO! We went through the whole thing with just us 2... It was intense. haha! Although I didn't let go of Tyler's arm and hand through out the whole thing, I wasnt legitimately scared until we got to this room that was supposed to resemble a coal mine, they made us stop because we caught up to the group before us.. (no worries... we didnt run at all...) And the guy "working" in the mine came right to me, I think he could tell I was nervous. He started showing me his hammer that he pulled people's teeth out with... then his friend BOB joined us, we finally got to go but they chased us with their hammers and they were slamming them against these metal plates.. it was so scary! haha. We did okay through out the rest of it.. then we heard the chainsaw.. we decided we would wait until the group in front of us got through... so we could just run right through that room. Yeah, didn't work, the chainsaw guy was waiting for us and scared the crap out of us, so we ran, or should I say Tyler ran while pulling me and as we push through the sheet at the end, everyone that had finished was waiting there.. and laughing at us. It was fantastic.
A word of advice: Dont wear a jacket there... you get super duper sweaty :) It's cute.

    After Dr. Slaughters I was able to meet up with my friend Jared! Jared and I first met while working at Rays In & Out and we kept contact while he was on his mission. But then he came home and went to school in Provo! :( So we havent seen eachother in over 5 months. So it was a great little reunion! I've missed him sooooo much! Although we don't have a recent photo, you can look at this one :)

We're cute, I know :)

I spent alot of Saturday with Tyler. We went to the pumpkin patch with his sisters and got the best pumpkins EVER! and for a great deal thanks to Tyler & Saylee. 5 for $20! Then we all just hungout, listened to Tyler play and Saylee sing their song for church (which was great by the way) We got caught up on GLEE.. disappointed... took a trip to Wal*Mart and Piano Gallery. Then we part of probably the most intense Pumpkin Carving contest i've ever been a part of. This competition included: Tyler, Myself, Saylee, Stetson (the crush), Karlee, Austin, Alyssa, 2 of their friends, Kayla, and Tyler's mom. The rules were, you couldn't use a stencil on your pumpkin, you only had 45 minutes and then Tyler's dad came up with 5 or 6 things we would be judged by, such as: sturdiness, creativity, technique and.. some others haha :) Anyways, I really thought I had a good chance of winning! But I didn't. Tyler did. haha dumb! I took some pictures of some of the pumpkins. Let me know what YOU think :)

Saylee's Nerd.

My Owl :)

Austin & Alyssa's Bats

Karlee's.. face :)

Tyler's mom's creation.

And here is the winner: Tyler's Castle.

We decided to skip out on Fireworks and take pictures :)

I forgot to add that I was able to go to Tyler's piano recital, well his students'. He teaches and they put on a recital and they all got to dress up in costumes.. along with Tyler who was a cow. It had utters :) 

It was a fun show to watch. The kids were great!

Here is Tyler and his students.

And this is what I did to Tyler's ankle while some of the kids were playing, it's a pretty great ghost!

All in all I had a great weekend, I was able to go to church today with Tyler and listen to Saylee and his musical number. Then I got to help teach Tyler's class of 13 year olds and that was fun :) 

Thanks for reading this!

Love you all :)

Peace & Blessings

Makeup & I.F.

Day 11 - What's in your makeup bag.
Day 12 - A photograph of the town you live in.


Well, in my personal makeup bag I have the following: Powder, Bronzer, Blush, 4 or 5 different eye shadows, 2 eye liners & mascara. Oh and a sharpener. Exciting right? I'm very simple when it comes to my makeup :) Sometimes I wish I could just go without makeup, I sometimes wish that makeup was never invented, I think natural beauty is great :) dang zits... haha!

This is the town I live in :)

I really do love Idaho Falls, It's never done me wrong. Although I complain about the long winters, I secretly love them... I think?

I love you all! Thanks for reading this blog thing :)

Peace & Blessings

'Music is what Feelings sound Like'

Day 8 - A song to match your mood




I'm feeling so many moods right now... so I'm going to post a few :) Like i mentioned before, I'm not good at making decisions. 


*We're going to be friend - The White Stripes.
*Just Friends - Jason Reeves
*You make me want to shout! - Little Richard :)
*and.. I'm feeling excited.. but I couldn't think of a song to express that. So.. If you know one, feel free to comment :) 




I love you all!
oh and two songs i'm obsessed with right now? 
Instigator and uh.. Tyler said I NEED this as my ringtone.., im not sure how to take that, I am an instigator though :)
and.. the other song is: I Look To You . the two songs are pretty much opposites but.. oh well :)




Have a good day :)
Peace & Blessings 

Who needs an alternator anyways...

  I have to blog about my day today... and about last night. Maybe even the whole weekend. Actually, Let's start back at Thursday. :)

  Usually I would go to work at Fairview Elementary on Thursday & Friday but that district didn't have school those days. When these things happen, I just go into the actual center and as kids come I would work with one of them, along with all the other techs who are there. Well on Thursday I got there at 8:00am and 5 other techs were there and only 2 kids... until 11:00pm.. it was torture, we just ended up cleaning the whole place and eventually I got to work with a kid for an hour or two. It was so long and BORING! Then on Friday.. oh Friday, I was excited. Because I got there and once again, no kids, so at 10:30am they sent me home! Until 2:30 when I was scheduled to work with THEE cutest little boy. I got a call at 12:30pm and my manager said " Hey Courtney! The kid you were going to work with is going home early so  you'll be working with this other boy" OK , not a big deal.. right? Wrong. The kid I worked with was so hard, and seriously pushed my buttons. He tested my patience like none other! It was insane. I started getting sick as well.. nasty cold. *cough*cough* I was so drained by the end of the day.. but I just have to think to myself, these kids didn't have a choice to have these disabilities. right? right. And I need to just work on my patience, and these opportunities will help that.

  NEXT! Saturday was a pretty great day, got up, showered, feeling great! Go to Tyler's to watch... Vanhelsing? I think that's what it's called, That's probably spelt wrong though.... Oh well :) This is my blog. Anyway, we watched that and it's a pretty good show. Then I go home and take a 2 hour nap.. pure bliss I tell you. Pure Bliss. Wake up to Tyler calling me telling me he'll be there in 3 hours to get me to go to The Burg for an Organ recital. So I pull myself together, grab some food, get ready and there he was... late, but that's OK. We still love him. We rocked out to Glee the whole way... yes, I'm very happy he likes Glee :) We went to this... "cute" little place called Sammy's. They are famous for their pie shakes. They were really good, but if you have plans after you go there.. make sure you give yourself some time... We waited 25 minutes for 2 shakes... that's not acceptable in my book... at all. But the shakes were great, but what was better was the sight of me and Tyler trying to shovel them into our mouths so we could get to the Organ recital on time. Cold shakes + no time = Major brain freeze. We had to leave half of our shakes in the car, hoping they would be some what edible by the time we got back... The recital was AMAZING! I'll be honest, I didn't pay much attention to the organ before Tyler started playing it a lot and letting me watch. So incredible. So many little buttons that make

insane differences in the sound. My personal favorite thing about? The pedals on the bottom make the most beautiful sounds... ah! I love it. Definitely check it out sometime. Anyways, afterwards we headed home, & talked about our pet peeves. Sunday, Oh how I love Sunday... I was able to bare my testimony at the single ward. What they say about how your testimony can grow is by sharing it... so right. I was sitting next to Joy and I turned to her and said "joy... my heart is beating so incredibly fast.. feel my pulse" She does *gasp* "Court.. are you OK?" I said "yes.. it just means I need to get up.." So i march up there.. I'm not quite sure why I always get so nervous, Because I feel so good afterwards.. but anyways. It was a good day. Later that day Tyler called and asked me to come listen to him play.. which if I'm able to do.. I always do. He's a pretty talented guy. I like when random people at the church walk in and start complimenting him. I think "yup.. that's my best friend, he's great" haha Then I went and gave belated birthday presents to Miss McKell Morrison and the beautiful Joy Cooper :) It was great. I was able to catch up with my Mama Morrison. On the way back I was on the phone with Tyler and right before I turned on my street... My lights started dimming so I was like " Uhh.. I"ll cal you back Tyler" So I get off and right as I pull up to my house... my car dies. I was like WHAT THE!? So I ran inside and told my dad, he said "It's your alternator" a what? yeah, I know NOTHING about cars. So we looked up online how much a new one is and such... a cheap one was $200 something dollars... not cool. Seeing that I'm a big girl now and pay for my stuff on my own.. so not cool. Anyways, we called our good friends at Sunnyside automotive (these guys are great, so honest with you, and they come and get your car for you if needed... like mine :) Another great thing? OH.. just that they took my car at 2:00pm and it was ready at 6:00pm.. so great! But not having a car for day sucked big time!

it was great :) (... if there was a sarcastic font.. i t would be right there...)  I had to find a way to get to work by 8:00am and it takes 20 minutes to get there... I had to find a ride from the school to the center at 2:30pm and then a ride home at 5:00pm.. I was stressed, but I have great people in my life. Tyler was at my house right at 7:40am ( I waited for him on the side walk like a bus stop) I arrived at the school at 8:00am and he yelled to me "HAVE A GREAT DAY AT SCHOOL SWEETIE!!" As if I were a child or something.. pssh.. So I get into the 1st grade class room that I sit in.. and my kid is absent.. GREAT! now what? I usually work with him for 3 hours and I don't have a car to go anywhere, So I read my book (Mockingjay ;]) for the whole time, then I eat lunch with the teachers.. go out to the 6th grade trailer where I spend the rest of my day... and my 2nd kid is absent! I swear I was being punked. But no.. Ashton Kutcher didn't come around the corner... I was so pissed! So I go to the special ed teacher and I'm like "girl.. he's gone!" So she told me to call my mom and see if she could come get me early.. it was only noon, and if not she would take me into town. My mom couldn't leave so she did.. She is soo incredibly nice. I am so grateful for her. She helped a lot today :) So I got taken to my mom's office and she took me to work at 2:30.. so great. work was great today, i worked with my usual boy and I love him. We played Lego's, watched power rangers and made caramel popcorn balls with candy corns in them.. he was happy to see me :)


One more story :) If you are still readying this right now... you're a great friend :)
I needed to go to Wal*Mart to find a white dress for my Halloween costume, so whenever I go to Wal*Mart.. Tyler comes. We never have a boring trip to good ol' wally world. It's something different every time. This time, we put our CTR rings on our left hands and pretended to be that annoying married couple that argues over EVERYTHING. It was so great, we love those looks from people like "...seriously? they're fighting over who gets to push the cart?" haha It's so fantastic. I love our trips. A favorite? When he starts speaking Italian and expects me to respond... "uhh.. patso!" and I grunt. haha that's all. But that's how it should be right.. he does all the work!


   I know you're curious as to what I'm being for Halloween.... Well here you go :)

YAY! 

Sorry for rambling on & on...

Love you all 

-Oh and my good friend Jared is coming home this weekend.. this is a good thing. We need to be reunited. :) yay! I love him!

Peace & Blessings.
