So everyone is bugging me to blog. I know that a blog is a place that you can sort out all of your feelings, so right now in my life, I really do have a need to blog. But for some reason, I feel like I can’t blog when I have so much on my mind. Kind of ironic, don’t you think? The very thing that could help to clear my mind (blogging) is actually something I feel like I can’t do when I have a lot on my mind. Oh well.
SO what is going on with Courtney? Well, in 5 days, Cody and I are taking a week long trip to Nashville, TN. Cody graduates from Full Sail in a month and we are trying to prepare for the next step. Nashville has a lot to offer in the music industry. But lots of the jobs start out as unpaid. So that’s a bummer. But we are going to see if Nashville is all that it is cracked up to be. Cody is going to be interviewing with several people at record labels during the week that we are there. I am planning on selling Premier as my full time job if we move to Nashville, so I am not doing any interviewing. So that’s one part of our brain right now, Nashville. The other part is here in Orlando. Cody has an interview today at 2 pm for a company in Celebration, FL. That’s right, FL. “But I thought you were moving to Nashville?” you might say. Well, that was the plan until jobs here started opening up. And we just still may move. But we are also looking at opportunities here in FL. This is why my mind is so jumbled. I am literally living in two different worlds. Planning for Nashville by looking at places to live, jobs for Cody, making contacts with Permier. Planning to stay in Orlando by keeping my teaching position open and Cody interviewing here. It’s a lot right now. I had no idea it would be this hard. The whole process of being at a place in your life where you get to choose something new and different is really taxing on the mind. I feel like my eyes are blurred because they are trying to look in two different directions and for the time being, nothing is coming into focus.
Hopefully after our trip to Nashville next week and his interview today, we can conclusively decide to stay or move. Hopefully. We might not know until the very moment before we move, or stay.
So what is the most important thing to me about this next step? Well, it all has to do with Cody. He has been working really hard at school and earning his degrees from Full Sail. I want this next time of our lives to be a time where Cody and bear some fruits of all his hard work. I want him to be fulfilled at what he chooses to do. I want him to be appreciated and valued at his place of work. This has been a hard road for him at Full Sail. There are tough classes and tough schedules. But he has done it and done it really well. Wherever we choose to go and whatever it all looks like, I really want Cody to feel personal fulfillment and satisfaction for all the hard work and long hours. I know that if I am with him, I will be fulfilled. I am fine with teaching here in Orlando or selling Premier in Nashville.
Well, there’s my blog. More to follow. It feels good to get it all out. Duh.
