Seattle goodbyes

We are sitting at Seatac airport with puffy faces from all the tears that came with our goodbyes.
It was harder than I thought.
This week consisted of a LOT of last minute prep and errands and visiting family and friends.
On Thursday night (Sept. 29) Tyson's mom had a family dinner to say goodbye. It was so nice to have some time with everyone.
I ended up picking up a shift at work yesterday which (those who know me know this is typical) may not have been the best idea but it kept my mind from going nuts.
We also had a friend come by the house who just returned from a 6 month backpacking stint. He helped us go through our bags and we ended up taking 1/3 of our clothes and toiletries out. I am happy about this as my back is already pissed off at me.
At the airport today just as I was about to burst into tears, a man who wasn't paying attention walked into a huge sign and we all burst into laughter. I think this man was sent to lighten the mood because it made the good bye that much easier as we couldn't stop laughing at the poor man's misfortune.
Now as we sit here ready to board the plane we are thinking about how grateful we are for our friends and family. The goodbye party from my parents, Tyson's parents, my work, Tyson's work and our big party with friends. Thank you everyone for your support and love. We love you guys so much and could definitely not have done this without you in our lives.
We are about to embark on one of the biggest journeys of our lives and I'm overwhelmed with emotions I cannot explain.
Woooooooooo here we go!!!!!
