Court and Kim

In honor of it being the month of good-will, giving, and general cheer, I am dedicating today's post to my little sister, and her best friend, Courtnee. They're faithful little followers of this blog, and while I don't write often on here, they still read my rantings anyway. While I've never met Court in the flesh, my best friend and her share the same name, so I can easily deduce that they are equally legit.

While many people may say a lot of bad things about Facebook, I can say that the site has successfully made my sister and I so much closer. Social networking via the internet has allowed us to not only express our personal style through keywords and stolen phrases, but it has allowed us to stalk the heck out of each other and get involved in aspects of our lives that before Facebook, were impenetrable. You're right, I'm making this sound like a bad thing. But you have to know my sister... Kim has a tendency of leaving details out of our conversations... for instance, I never would have known she attended a nerd party if this little gem on our left hadn't shown up on my minifeed...

Courtnee, on the other hand, seems to be a different beast. Her mantra is, "People should be themselves fully and unapologetically". And live this, she does. Never in my life, have I seen so many amazing pictures of someone living life to the fullest (yep, thank you again Facebook, for making stalking that much easier.) I totally want to be BFF with this individual. (Sorry in advance to Courtney Nay, and Kim Fortna). I know she would for sure be part of the polar bear bridge jumping society (Rexburg Chapter) and probably be okay with skydiving over the Alps with me. The best part about Courtnee is is that she is really tall. She could always find me when I get lost in crowds. Which happens often. Because I am 5'1". Welp, there goes my supermodel career...

Kim and Courtnee may be a lot of things. Kim B. Clark stalkers. Horkley's Addicts. Party Animals. Mormons. But to me, they represent "The Good Life" that Kanye's always spinning about. They laugh when crap gets bad. They party when they've got finals in the morning. They eat when they're broke. Shoooot they probably know the secret recipe for World Peace. Miss California, step down, because we just found two contestants that can actually keep their promises, and do on a daily basis (Thanks BYUI).


Anyone that knows and loves me, knows that I am pretty obsessed with my sister. But there's a reason. Or rather, several reasons. Kim Fortna is the loveliest individual I have ever encountered, on the inside and outside. She lifts me up when I am down, and makes me laugh when the only thing I want to do is sob broken-heartedly (rare... but it happens). I have no doubt that she is the person she is, because of the friends she hangs out with, and the good influences she keeps in her life. Thanks for making me laugh consistently, girls. Love you both.
