We are here! We arrived in Seoul about 4:00 PM Korea time (around 3:00AM your time), and all in all, we are doing GOOD. The morning was a "bit" stressful, as we stood in THE SAME SPOT in a huge line for an hour and 1/2, watching our flight get closer to takeoff... listening to other sad, frightened angry people complain about the mysterious holdup... reassuring ourselves that the flight would NEVER leave without us, being we had been standing there for so long... being "re-routed" to a DIFFERENT line, AGAIN being reassured that WE, the chosen ones, would be taken care of and would not miss our flight... and then our flight left... without us. Crapola.

BUT... it only took a few crocodile tears and some small bouts of hyperventilation from my mother to get us rebooked to Chicago through American Airlines FIRST CLASS! We got to Chicago in barely enough time to get on our next flight, and then spent the next 14 hours watching movies, eating yummy Korean airplane food, and dozing with our faces on the tray tables (That's really only me). Our hotel is beautiful, and the view from our room is AMAZING. The weather is perfect, so thankfully I won't sweat my way through Seoul. And since we really haven't slept in two days, I think we will get a good night's rest tonight!


Mom is contacting the adoption agency tomorrow morning, so hopefully we will get to see little man soon! We will keep you posted. We love you, and are thinking about you always.

Pray us home!

We are so excited for you. I will mention you and the "little man" in prayer at the end of our services today. We pray for your safe return and hopefully a more smooth return. Thanks for the great blog.
