Day 0: Seattle

After a week of stress-filled running around, the day has finally arrived. My mind raced with all the things I had to do before I left. Errands to do and people to see filled up every hour. Next thing I knew, we were on our way to the airport.

Emotions around this trip are difficult to describe but I know that I am incredibly excited. I feel as if I am stepping to an abyss, where and what is next to be seen is unknown. There have been moments before this trip when the anticipation becomes so intense that a part of me was almost scared to go. This trip is going to make me deal with my biggest fears head on. Specifically, the lack of ability to plan ahead. I will live day-to-day, something I am absolutely not used to. I classify myself as somewhat a creature of habit. Those habits will be completely shattered.

So as we sit, 10 minutes from takeoff, I am filled with hope and anxiety all at once. Where this adventure takes Loyd and me, I don't know, but I cannot wait to find out.
