What's up!?

Hey folks!
In typical Courtney fashion I totally forgot all about this blog and had to re set my password. I never thought this would be possible, but my short term memory has gotten worse lately. Insane. It's funny, EVERYTIME I am done writing a post I renew my commitment to blogging once again....and then forget about it like 10 minutes later. Maybe I should google ways to exercise my ability to remember things. Google ROCKS!

Also in typical Courtney fashion, I got the itch to do a new thing.... So I moved to florida!! My girlfriend, Lauren, graduated from nursing school and got her dream job working on the transplant unit at Tampa general hospital. You'd think picking up and moving halfway across the country (again), quitting your current job, leaving your sister and best friend, and the city that's become home would be tough but for me it really wasnt. In my previous post I promised myself I would no longer take for granted time. It's such a precious thing. The move to Florida, although hard, was a great decision. My time here is proving to be well spent, and is affording me the ability to really learn about myself and others. Years from now I can't and won't look back on these years and be unhappy. If it's true, and we only live once, why should I have to spend it pleasing people or things that don't make me happy? Why should I spend my time, money, and energy on school, for example, if it's not something that makes me happy? My family asks me all the time when I'm going to school and my response is always " as soon as I figure out what I WANT to do". I guess I don't blame my mom and family for being scared from the statement, because I've never realllllly WANTED to do anything other then things that really hold no significance In the big girl world. Aka listening to music, excersizing, food..
The few things I love really are just not realistic to peruse. I often wonder what gene I didn't get that has made it impossible for me to set goals.

Lauren rocks! She is everything I'm not and everything I could ever want to be. She understands and accepts me for who I am and puts up with my indecisiveness more than anyone ever has or probably ever will. She came into my life at a time I was uncertain I could ever feel for anyone or anything ever again. I was so numb to life before her, and since her I have become so alive. She makes me feel like I am capable of anything, and she supports me in everything. I am so lucky to be apart of her life. The places she will go in life are unreal. I'm grateful for her, always. I love her and I know she loves me. She is all I really need.

The past few months have been full of learning, Lauren, and moving. Hopefully the next few will be full of blogging (wishful thinking?), and becoming more acquainted with life here in Tampa.

Until next time!
