How can we say possibly goodbye to so many people that we love? And how can we be brave enough to actually get on that plane and move to Morocco for two years?
With your help, we have been trying to do those things. Between Christmas and New Year's Eve, we invited a bunch of family and friends to a farewell party so that we could gather lots of dear ones in one place. And instead of just eating chips and guacamole and lots of Mexican food (which we did, and it was awesome), we also invited people to bring us a story about a time in their life when they took a risk. A lot of people shared some really terrific stories. And even more people came and cheered for us and hugged us and wished us well. There were a lot of tears. And laughs. And stories. And hugs. It was a Risk Party.
For those of you that shared a story, either in person or by email, thank you. We hope to recall these stories on hard days (and we already have). And for those of you that continue to love us and support us even when we decide to up and move thousands of miles away, thank you. Thank you for helping us grow into braver, more adventurous people. Thank you for trusting us even when we sound mad, mad, mad. Thank you all for your words of encouragement, your travel advice, and the time you've taken to show your support in so many ways.
We get on a plane tomorrow morning. See you in Morocco.
