Counting the days...

My GPP girlies

Courtanan

As I sit here in my ridiculously uncomfortable chair, wearing my new green glasses (very chic I might add), listening to my two best friends here at GPP (we are all called Courtanan) Tory & Court make fun of my unusual ways...I start to realize that I will be leaving this place in three days. I will be waking up and working from my house with myself come Monday morning. I realize I will find a new routine...which will include them in a different way.

I'm very excited because I've never felt so right about something in my life, but at the same time I'm sad that I wont have my friends around to joke with, take breaks with or complain with! Thank goodness for instant messengers!! But I have to recognize that I could not be making such a dramatic and life changing decision without them pushing me to go out and follow my dreams. Both Courtney and I went to small jesuit colleges, gaining an exceptional education and wanting to make something with ourselves. And I could not have made this decision if Tory hadn't reigned me in to help with her wedding. THANK YOU! Well this is my time...to prove to myself and everyone that believes in me, that with a little guidance from my father (thank goodness he is a financial planner and my advisor) and hope/blessings from friends and family I will be making my mark.

Thanx you two for your thoughts, inspiration and prayers with my decision...it's Tortney for you two now but at least we'll have our weekly lunches and soon to be routine cooking nights! Love you both!

Shannon, there is nothing you cannot accomplish. Put your smile, your kindness and personality and your talent infront of any fears or hesitation and you will succeed. You have a powerful impact on my daughter and I and there is no doubt in my mind that you will rise. I love you.
