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.

I wonder what Danny thinks about all of this? :)
Seriously, I know you guys will figure it out soon. At least it would be nice if you would so I could know whether or not I need to go into mourning.
An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
Isn't it ironic ... don't you think
Chorus
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought ... it figures
Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
'Well isn't this nice...'
And isn't it ironic ... don't you think
Repeat Chorus
Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face
It's a traffic jam when you're already late
It's a no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic... don't you think
A little too ironic... and yeah I really do think...
Repeat Chorus
Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out
Sounds like exciting times ahead. I can relate to being torn between two choices and not knowing which way to go. (We just spent a year in transition).
You're a great cheerleader for Cody. . . . and I hope that Danny's song won't prove true. lol (is that original with you, Danny?)
