Moving.
It is coming fast.
I honestly can't believe how fast it is coming. There are only a few days left and here I am spending them on my blog. Blog readers? I am sorry that you have to read these gushy posts. But honestly? This is the only way I can get my feelings out. So if you don't want to read it? ...Well don't.

Today I spent the whole day cleaning. Baseboards. Walls. Carpet. Banisters. Toilets. Doors. Sinks. Windows.
Everything.
Our home is getting more empty as I speak. It is starting to feel like a house now not a home. But I have learned something. Home is where ever you make it. Arizona? Utah? Texas? Who knows what is next... Alaska? But you know what? No matter where we go, it is home. Because we make it that way. Texas is our new home.

I have learned something else from all of this.

I have received many sweet notes/emails/messages/wall posts etc. explaining how I WAS a good friend or how they are so grateful for the friendship we HAD. But I don't want these friendships to end. I may be moving approximately 970 miles away, but this is not the end. Friendships continue. I love each memory and friendship I have had but I do not want them to end. I want them to continue.

There is a childrens story that is one of my favorites. I used to read it every night before I went to bed. The story is of a train engine who did not think he could pull a heavy load over a mountain. He felt that there were too many larger and better trains who could do the job better than he. The little engine did not belivee in himself and soon the toys and treats did not believe in him. Later in the story he gains his self confidence. He chants "I think I can... I think I can.." over and over again as he climbs the mountain. He makes it. Everyone cheers. Everyone is happy.

I don't think I can do this, I know I can. "With faith all things are possible." I have faith and I know I can do this. Do you have faith in me? I sure hope you do. I could use some cheerleading. :)
