With such little time before Adam's departure, he was really worried about being able to say goodbye to everyone. The time between us deciding to move and his actually leaving was only a month. It sounds like quite a bit of time until you realize how much stuff there is to do and people to see when everyone lives in other states. To help him out, Darlene and I plotted a surprise farewell for him when we went back for a final weekend in Johnstown...so he could see everyone in one place instead of stressing about making it everywhere to see everyone. We are hoping to make it back for the holidays (and of course, deer season!), but it isn't a guarantee yet, so it could be a potentially extended time until Adam sees everyone again. We met up with his parents at their Elks club and then EVERYONE started showing up. I love seeing how much my husband is loved. I mean, I know that he should be loved by all, he is the most awesome person ever, but I am also completely biased. Family and friends descended on Johnstown to give Adam a proper send off. I know that he REALLY appreciated and LOVED it, but so did I, just knowing how much it meant to him (and me!). Thank you EVERYONE for always being there, so supportive and wonderful. You definitely make our lives awesome.
