Where has the time gone? Today is our last day living in the house :( The first half of this month has been preparing us and the house for the movers to come tomorrow. Brian has painted the two accent walls downstairs and Ben's nursery back to their original color, it was especially sad to paint over the nursery! The nursery was the last sign a baby lived here, because nothing about Ben is baby anymore.
This weekend has been touching up the walls, washing anything and everything, packing, and basically getting ready to be "homeless" for the next month. We move into temp. lodging tomorrow and will stay there until we leave Great Falls on the 28th. The week ahead is full of people packing everything Mon & Tue, then picking it up on Wed. Wed. night until Fri the cleaners will be here. Finally, Mon. the 22nd we have our final inspection.
I am still amazed at how fast three years went by! I remember when we first rolled into Great Falls I cried and couldn't believe this was going to be my home for three long years, joke was on me! Although Great Falls isn't my ideal place to live it hasn't been all bad and it certainly hasn't been a long three years. In our time here I've learned just how independent I am, how lucky I am to be married to Brian, and just how important family and friends are. I've been fortunate enough to meet some great friends whom I'll never forget.
I think I'm going to stop there for today, feeling more emotional than I have time for. I'll write more frequently than I have been and keep you all up to date on the happenings of this Alexander household.

I am sad with you, but it is just another step in you, Brain and Ben's journey of life. You have become an amazing young woman, mother and wife. Dad and I are very proud of you, and I am sure Brian is also. Independent, yes very but not at all surprising. From the girl that would go without lunch to avoid asking her parents to borrow five bucks til payday .... Love you guys very much and can't wait til you are closer to home.
Aw, this made me get all teary eyes Nicole. We are going to miss you so much and this has just come TOO fast! I can't believe it's only a couple of weeks away when we have to say our goodbyes! I'm so thankful to have met you and had you as a part of my life though. Thanks for being such an amazing friend, we'll keep in touch- heck maybe we'll take a vacation somewhere sometime where you are and meet up again! Or a girls reunion in Vegas someday!!
