Lions and Tigers and Bears...Oh My!

I have started packing today in preparation for our big ol move to Alaska and I am FREAKIN OUT y'all. What is it about putting things in boxes that makes it all so real. I have known for a while that we are moving and I have had time to mentally prepare for this but physically putting my belongs into boxes and taping them up has made me an emotional mess. I keep tearing up at the thought of leaving home :( I don't know what I am going to do without my friends and family.
There are so many scary things that are about to take place. Where will we live? What is it going to be like? Will we be happy? How am I going to be okay with this?
