Courtney Nicole

It’s a rare occasion that merits me writing a blog post on this World Wide Web you kids are always talking about. In fact, I’ve only written once that I can remember. But today is one of those rare occasions- a special day that deserves special attention. Every March 5^th calls for celebration of the birth of a certain individual, who, although small in stature (almost legally handicapped), has the heart of a woolly mammoth.

Courtney is my beautiful wife, and these are 23 things I love about her:

1. She says old person things all the time, like: ‘shucks’ or ‘quit busting my chops’
   
2. Her laugh is one of the things that made me fall in love with her
   
3. I’ve never met anyone that adores babies as much as she does
   
4. She is an amazing cook, and getting better all the time
   
5. She hums & sighs involuntarily all the time
   
6. She will believe anything I say
   
7. Sometimes, while dancing with friends, she’ll get extra enthusiastic and starts to do a wild dance and her hair flies all over the place
   
8. For some arcane reason, one of her favorite movies is “Three Men and a Baby”
   
9. She doesn’t speak any other languages as of now, but her Spanish gibberish is actually very impressive
   
10. She makes, literally, the best cookies I have ever tasted
    
11. She will be an incredible mother – anyone who knows her will agree
    
12. She will sometimes jump up in the air to do Chinese splits for no reason- trust me, it sounds more graceful than it looks
    
13. She loves her family and loves to be with them
    
14. She is instinctively nurturing
    
15. She is amazingly clumsy most of the time, but can be very graceful when she cares to be
    
16. She automatically begins to scratch my arm or my head whenever near me
    
17. Anytime she is sitting down she will sway from side to side, almost as if she’s rocking a baby to sleep – she has done this since I’ve known her
    
18. She truly wants to be a good person, and always wants to serve people in need
    
19. She is very concerned about eating and living healthy
    
20. She is smokin’ hot in a bathing suit
    
21. She has a perfect level of confidence and self-esteem which really, really helps make life and marriage easier for me
    
22. She totally wanted to make out with me on our first date (she’ll deny it), even though I had just been wearing denim cut-off short shorts roller-skating
    
23. She is the only person in this world I want as my wife, and she said yes to me

The only negative thing I can think about Courtney:

1. She is only 1/3 of this relationship, by mass, but still feels entitled to more than half of our bed

Happy Birthday Court! I love you more than anything and I hope you have the birthday you deserve this year.

Your loving husband,

Josh

Note to readers:

Courtney has expressed to me in the past that she doesn’t really care much for birthday attention, so why don’t you all give her a call or drop her a line to say ‘Hi’ and ‘Happy Birthday.’
