There's the "Cliff's Notes" - Maybe you guys can talk Bex into filling in the rest (or telling you HER side, lol!)

OK everyone....here's my 2 cents.

Flashback to the first week of February. I had posted my "kicking the habit"

thread, when I was struggling to quit smoking. Greg had posted, wishing

me luck. Well, I noticed that he had a link in his signature to his myspace

page. I clicked the link and sent him an invite. To be quite honest, what I

expected was that he would accept it out of politeness and I'd never hear

from him again. No big deal, lots of people do that. However, he actually

sent me a message, and we made small talk back and forth for the next

couple of days. I fell in love with the pics of his '72 240 and that's where it

all began. On Friday, Feb. 6th, his message line said, "sitting home bored

on a friday night, WTF?" He was online, so I sent him a message asking

why. And that, my friends, was the night that changed my life forever.

We spent the next few days burning up IM and text. We learned more in

those conversations than some people learn in a lifetime together. We

couldn't seem to find a subject that we didn't share a common interest or

opinion on. Each statement lead to another, and another, and another. To

be honest, I am naturally skeptical of people. I have been burned so many

times by people who seemed to be one thing and then turned out to be

absolutely something completely different. I typically don't open up to

people about myself, much less about my daughter. However, there was

something so different about Greg: something real, something true,

something trustworthy.

When he told me he was going to be on this side of the Mississippi River

and that he would like to see me, I thought to myself...'You know, you'll

never know for sure if you don't take a chance.' That was the best thing I

ever did. When I stepped out onto the porch that Friday night and he

smiled, that was all it took. Stick a fork in me, I'm done. (Hence the

meaning behind my avatar.) We spent the entire weekend together and it

was absolutely amazing. By Sunday afternoon, I was convinced that

someway, somehow, this man was going to be in my life. To hell with the

1800 miles between addresses, we would find a way.

Right away, I made plans to go to Savannah. In the interim, we continued

to talk everyday, share some of the most incredible e-mails that have ever

been written, and broadened our relationships with the kids. Bless my

friend Brenda who, without hesitation, agreed to keep Priss for me for the

entire weekend of the Savannah trip. I was so excited on the way down, I

could hardly sit still in my seat. As I was sitting in the terminal waiting for

his plane to land, I made myself a promise that in the very near future we

would be traveling to all the Nico meets together, not seperately.

The weekend was incredible. I really enjoyed getting to meet people from

the forum in person (James, Torry and Ainsley....can't wait to do it again),

but of course for Greg and I, the best part was getting to spend some time

together, just the two of us. The day at the beach was beautiful, and the

proposal in the sand was, in a word, perfect. I am a pretty basic person,

not a lot of flash or drama. The fact that he kept it simple and private just

blew me away.

So now, the fun begins. The plan is to get me and Priss out there by the

end of May. There is a school orientation scheduled and she really needs

to be there. Is it possible to load up a household and do all the things we

need to do in less than two months? Well, I guess we'll find out but when

you have six people that are as determined as we are, don't bet against

us.

I guess that pretty much sums it up. And by the way, thanks to all of you

for welcoming me into the NICO

family. I feel like I know some of you better than I know people I've grown

up here with all my life. My contact list in my phone and my myspace page

are beginning to look like a NICO roll call list.

Love you all,

Bex

[Otto.]

Congrats, guys!

[audtatious]

Just keep Greggie from growing the wombat again. He looks more human without it

Unless you like it

[AZhitman]

...and THAT, my friends, is why I love this woman... this ain't no April Fool's stunt.

[SEV6]

I'm sold. Please forgive my doubt

very epic story

CONGRATS

[Chaotic_Warlord]

You guys were the basis behind that taco bell commercial with the speed daters aren't you. I'm one of those untrusting sort and kinda still think this is a prank. I mean come on I'm all for the love at first sight, and the relationship building via interwebz, but to pack up everything you know in one state and move cross country based on a 2 1/2 month virtual relationship, especially in this economy and job market. Sounds like weak sauce to me. But again I'm the untrusting sort and I have issues of my own with items of heart and romance.

If this is real, I apologize for my skepticism.

Sounds like a recipe to entice leghumpers in the future.

[Marenta]

Actually, I admit, I was skeptical when I first read it, because it is April Fool's day. But, then I remember something that Becky sent me about a week ago about moving with Priss, and then I realized that if she were moving a week ago, then Greg just picked a stupid time to announce it. Plus, announcing it is probably also not a great idears either, but I'll let Becky chastise him for that one.

[Pawn]

Wow, it's like a new-age storybook romance. I think it's great that you two were able to connect on such a personal level so quickly. Sounds like the next two months will be stressful with the move and all, my advice for periods of stress while in a long distance relationship is to see each other as much as is physically possible!

Seeing as this IS the internet and looking at the date on the calendar, I definitely understand the skepticism.. but I am convinced.

Congratulations!

[EZcheese15]

Actually, Bart and I met at VIR, and I really really REALLY wanted to hate his guts. But, it ended up not working. Plus, after spending Saturday talking to me and following me around instead of getting shoddy with all the guys and acting stupid; it was kinda cool to have an intelligent conversation. Although, he did just talk about his exes the ENTIRE time.

What the hell you talking about? Nobody was getting shoddy that night

And WD better be planning the bachelor party, or I'm not coming to the wedding j/k but no seriously

[jdshift]

Congrats!! Best wishes to the both of you

[VMPhil]

Big ole congrats good buddy.

[Mr1der]

[Pento240sx]

I´m Invited to the wedding right?

[Logan76]

Congrats if it isnt the biggest april fools scheme ever. If I was closer to either of you I would offer to help load up the stuff, but im not, so have fun.

[hsckris]

CONGRATS

+1.



Best wishes to you both.

[Jesda]

Still April 1st in Greg's time zone!

[infinitgkid]

However, he actually

sent me a message, and we made small talk back and forth for the next

couple of days.

WHAT THE HECK!?!?!

Dood! I soo added him on myspace and I never got a message!

I thought by me adding him on myspace, this would be the beginning of a strong friendship... BUT apparently I was mistaken!

but hey... about the vert and the G35... those are definitely not "family vehicles"... so I mean, if you can find space for them in your busy life I just want to let you know that there is tons of space in mine that can fit them in...

I just thought you'd like to know that...

[AZhitman]

LOL - Sorry... I get lots of messages on MS...

Oh, and the G and 240 are most definitely staying put. Those are gonna be "Date Night" rides.

Plus, Bex knows her way around a 6-speed, so I intend to get her on a track at our earliest opportunity!!

p.s. Sweetie, you're gettin' a new helmet for your birthday.

[93coupe]

p.s. Sweetie, you're gettin' a new helmet for your birthday.

Oh thats dirty Greg.

[ADDirishboy]

Wow. 4 pages in one day not bad Greg!

[nissangirl74]

Still April 1st in Greg's time zone!

Maybe in Greg's, but not in mine...

I assure you all that this is very real, regardless of the day my better half chose to post it. Thanks for all the congrats from the believers and no offense taken from the skeptics. I would have had my doubts reading that about anyone else.

To all of those inquiring about the wedding, YES you are ALL invited. Family is always included in weddings, ours just happens to be a bit bigger than most. <note to self...wedding planner will probably faint when I tell her the number of guests is roughly 120,000...give or take>

We will give you plenty of notice so you can make plans to be there and don't you dare miss it. It will be epic, just like everything else we have done so far.

[ADDirishboy]

I guess since April first is over it's alright to say it's real. LOL!

I found out like a week ago haha.
