I'm Courtney. 27 year old Real Estate Developer in the lovely Houston, TX. Undergrad at Purdue. MBA from the University of Texas. Love where I came from and where I'm going.
Officially a resident of The City of Dreams.
Houston, TX ladies and gentlemen.
Missing Austin… but so excited about this new chapter. & incredibly thankful that over 90 people in our graduating class will be in Texas with over 30 of those in H-town.
It may be over, but is it ever really over? I know I’ll maintain the relationships I have made over the past 2 years. Even if it takes some work, & some fun road trips.
Have you been going through my things? Perhaps investigating all of my favorite movies? Can you read my mind? Do I know you? Are you me?
If the answer to any/all of these questions is “no”, then we are in fact… soulmates. You heard me. There’s no way we can love all the same things by mistake.
All of the movies that have been on “Movies We Love” lately are some of my absolute favorites. Sure, they’re cheesy and silly and not for everyone, but they are movies that I have seen at least 5 times.
Fever Pitch
He’s Just Not That Into You
Knocked Up
& of course, Walk the Line {my all time favorite movie!}
Anyone who knows me and has spent any time with me in front of a television {looking at you, Chi Os…} knows that I regularly have these gems in my rotation. & with no shame at all.
Keep it comin’ E! Programmer. I may not ever change the channel again, ever.
Yours Truly,
CMB
The many phases that my apartment has seen in the past 48 hours.
See ya, Austin!
I’M GETTING ANOTHER NEPHEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yep, my sister is pregnant and due November 24th! I’ve known about it since the day we went to Galveston over spring break… & it’s been a tough secret to keep! I am so glad I will actually be in Houston this time around & can hopefully be at the hospital when Baby Boy #2 comes into this world!
I can’t help but feel nostalgic. It feels like yesterday that we found out Grant was a boy. What a fun day.
& another fun part…! If the baby is 3 weeks early like Grant was… he and I could possibly share a birthday!
{whaddup November 5th!}
2013 is full of blessings. Keep ‘em coming!
I saved the worst, most tedious task for last.
& it’s all too appropriate that I spent my first night ever in this apartment drinking wine as I unloaded boxes in my kitchen.
Now on my last night here ever, I’m doing the exact same thing. But backwards I guess.
Ready set go.
Yesterday, the painter went to my new house in Houston where I’ll be living with Roommate Kate and painted my room. Light Mint. & I absolutely love it.
As mentioned previously, this will be serving as my inspiration for the room.
I’ll be sure to post pics of the final product once I get all moved in on Friday! Cannot. Wait. To. See. It. In. Person.
Scenes from Disorientation 2013.
I have been pretty bad about blogging the past 3 weeks. That is because I have been busy with MBA Disorientation. AKA one last hoorah of 3 weeks of partying with the people I just had the best 2 years of my life with.
Here is a glimpse of how the last few weeks of my life have been.
Beer Olympics, Grad Banquet, Boat Day, Cohort Olympics, Kentucky Derby Daze Bar Crawl, Graduation Night, and so much more. It has been exhausting. & also the best time I’ve ever had filled with so many emotions.
Today is officially my last full day of being an Austinite. Going to try to squeeze in some visitations & meals with friends during this hectic day of packing…!

11 boxes down, and probably 20 to go. #packing #awesomemusicandredbull (at The State House On Congress)
Well, its my first official day of boxing up my apartment rather than just getting it organized and sorting through junk. I have 7 boxes so far and approximately 43 hours until the movers arrive. When I moved from Houston to Austin 2 years ago, it took me 33 boxes. Hoping to cap it at 25, but we’ll see…
Anyways, taking a quick break. Mostly because I have to go down to my car to get more boxes and I don’t want to do that. They’re heavy and it’s hot and, you know, 3 flights of stairs.
