New Years was so much fun. At 9 I picked up Leah, Emily &Julie &we went to Corvette Diner. When we got there they were closing but earlier my mom called &they told us that they were closing at 12. So they let us stay. We were like the only people there it was so cool. Katie came &picked us up &we stayed at her apartment for the night. We were bringing all our stuff up &we kept dropping everything &all our sleeping bags came undone &we couldn`t stop laughing. I dropped my pillow so Emily bit it so she could hold onto it. &It got stuck on her braces &we couldn`t get it off. Oh my gosh I thought I was going to pee my pants. It was the funniest thing. We finally got it off &there was Bowman slobber everywhere. Haha. We finally made it up to the apartment &things got so crazyy, we were really hyper. When the countdown started this weird music came on &Emily started to dance. Hahaha physco. We got our sparkling cider &when it was 12 we did 'cheers' like a bazillion times. We had some earthquakes too. Lmao. Then we were all sitting on the couch &Julie was like on top of me. So I pushed her off &she went flyyyying. Goodtimes. We went to sleep around 3 &in the morning Emily got sick so we went home at 10. So yeah my New Years was awesome, spent it with my favorite people in the worrrrld.<3 I can`t believe it`s already 2005. This past year has been one I`ll never forget. It was deffinitly one of the most difficult ones of my life. Theres been so many ups &downs. But I don`t regret any of it. Everything happens for a reason &I`ve learned from my MANY mistakes. I`ve had the experiences of a lifetime &I shared it with my best friends. I couldn`t ask for more. Even though at times I hated my life, I now realize that 2004 was one of the greatest years. &I know I`ll have my hard times this year too, but I`m sure it will be just as great as 2004. Happy New Years!

My Christmas was awesome.
Spent it with my crazy family &celebrated the real meaning of it all. Of course the presents are a plus too. =] Haha. I got a new cell phone, it`s so cute &I love it. &My mom gave me this little box &when I opened it up it had a ton of paint swatches &a picture of a breadspread. Then there was a note that said I could redo my room. Yess I`m so excited to do that. I got other stuff to that I`m thankful for, but those were my favorite. Today was actually the first day I`ve gotten to sleep in this break. I slept until 11:30 &then went over to Leah`s with Allie at 1:30. We exchanged presents &I already knew what Allie got me cause we picked out our presents for eachother when we went shopping. Haha. &I absolutely love Leah`s present. She made me a cd of all our favorite songs &little inside joke songs, that 'Hungry Baby' bib that I wanted when I was a baby for Halloween, &of course a pack of chapstick. Haha. 'I`m Courtney &I always need to have my chapstickkkk.' Then Allie had to leave, so me &Leah went outside &balled it up. 8] Then we went inside &watched White Chicks. Hahaha that movie is so funny. Then my mom picked me up at 7. &Tomorrow I`m going to Mexico until Thursday with Leahhh! Emily`s not coming anymore though cause of water polo, were gonna miss you Bowman! Update when I come back.
