The gravity of this situation has finally arrived. I saw Beth off today at the airport for her adventure in Japan. It was probably one of the hardest goodbyes to have to say because we've helped each other so much through this living abroad process. Lucky for us, both countries have post offices, albeit not as reliable as the good ole USPS.
It was also a difficult goodbye because upon leaving the airport and paying my short term parking stub I realized that I have approximately 17 days to say goodbye to this life and start the next. So alas, I start packing and trying to at least study some spanish before arriving in DC in two and a half short weeks.
This adventure is going to be crazy educational son.
