Stephanie says goodbye

Posted By Hup | April 6, 2008

Although Stephanie and I are both very excited to head out to California, that doesn’t mean that we aren’t saddened by the fact that we’re leaving many, many wonderful friends and family behind. Yesterday we headed up to Chicago to see a couple of Stephanie’s best friends in the entire world so that she could hang with them one last time before we make the big trek out to the West Coast.

You know, it’s not real easy to explain, but I’ve had such a weird feeling the last week or so whenever I actually take some time and think about the people that I’ll be 2,000+ miles from in less than a week. On one hand I get really sad due to the fact that I’ll rarely see many of the people that are currently in my life here in Indiana/Midwest. But, on the other hand I feel that thanks to the web I’ll still be able to stay in touch with most of the people and that it’s not that big of deal. I don’t really know how to explain exactly how it feels, but it seems to become more apparent each day that we get closer to leaving.

But, of course we’re both getting more and more excited with each day as well. Just think…this time next week we’ll actually be settling into our new cottage in Palo Alto. Wow, this is going to be such an adventure….I’m so glad that you’re all taking the journey with us.
