Meet Courtney


This is Courtney. She has 4 beautiful children and a loving husband.  She must be one of the most selfless people on this earth. She was also just diagnosed with leukemia.

We met Courtney, Todd and their 3 girls (she was expecting number 4--a boy--at the time) when we moved to Trophy Club, Texas. She's the kind of friend who brings fresh, organic produce from the farmer's market over, because, well, they just had too much. She's the kind of friend who picks up my 3 girls after I had a D&C post baby number 4, just to give me some peace and quiet. She's the kind of friend who does my laundry because the movers came earlier than expected and disconnected the washer and dryer, and then gives us a gift certificate to a restaurant because we are living in a hotel. You are blessed if you are able to know Courtney. She embodies kindness. Those near a temple, please put her name on the prayer role. Those not, please keep her in your personal prayers. She is strong.  She is a mother to 4 littles.  She is a wonderful wife.  She is an invaluable friend.  She deserves a miracle.

  1. Brendon and I are going to the temple tomorrow. We'll put her name on the prayer roll in the temple and in our personal prayers. What a neat friend to have.

  2. So glad you posted on Courtney's blog. We have missed you and wondered how you were doing. Azure is so big! I love the pictures of Pearl pouting behind the leaf. She and Sydney are so much the same, that whole birth order thing I think. Take care!

  7. Katy,
    Thank you so much for your post about Courtney.... It was very thoughtful of you... We are all rooting for her. I know she is going to be able to endure through this!

    I am so excited to see your blog and see how much your girls have grown. I have wondered how Florida has been for you.. Much different scenery than Texas for sure. I hope you are enjoying yourself. (from the pictures it looks like you are.) Drop me a line and we can chat.. I am glad to find you again
