4-5 more weeks......

I am officially moving out to be with him in about 5 weeks, I am really excited just starting to get overwhelmed with packing, and everything. I am also starting to get sad about leaving my family and friends, I know that it is normal for people to move out/live in different states. A lot of my high school friends have moved away for college and now live there, miles and states away from there family and friends.
Is it normal to be sad?

Umm of course it is!

Definitely! I was a wreck before I closed the distance, leaving something you are so familiar with to go do something with so many unknowns is always going to be scary.

How did you deal with it?
Did you try and keep yourself busy? Do you visit your family/friends a lot?

I just try to love everything about my new place. Every day I think "man I love ____ about Costa Rica". You have to stay positive. I think I'll probably see my family twice a year. My mom and her husband visited once, and I'm going home for a week in May. As much as I miss home, I'd much rather be here with my SO.

I skype a lot with my mom and dad and grandparents. That helps it a lot. It will be 7 months away when I go back for a visit. Its the initial jumping in that is scary, once you are there with your SO it isn't so bad. I still miss al my friends but I know that when I go to visit we'll have a big catch up then.
