Oh happy day!!

We have travel clearance!! Of course, we are super-excited - I kinda don't know what to do with myself! We leave early this Sunday morning (3.29) and after a long layover in Chicago, we arrive in Seoul at 4:10 p.m., Monday the 30th. I'm guessing we'll get to meet Morgan for the first time on Tuesday the 31st, but we may have to update that after confirmation from our agency. We'll be leaving Seoul to return home on Monday (4.06) and will arrive home (again after a LONG layover in Chicago) at 5:15 p.m. (Monday, 4.06).

We have had a rough wait, missing Morgan's first birthday and all, but it's all almost over - FINALLY! I don't know why, but I had figured that we wouldn't get the call today as my phone didn't ring until later than anticipated...I felt as if I had hit rock-bottom...had just emailed my mom about how life isn't fair (yes, I'm a bit dramatic) and then, the magical call came our way!! For all of my waiting friends, you will get that travel clearance and you will get to meet your sweet kiddos...just when you think you can't take it any longer...God's timing will be revealed!

I have so many things to get done - our Sophie is not traveling with us and we are going to miss her terribly, but we know she'll be in good hands with the grandmas. That being said, Steve and I are thrilled to be taking this journey again - we love the city of Seoul and the Korean people. We plan on soaking up all of the culture we can and enjoying our little vacation before becoming parents of TWO spunky little gals! ;-)

Please pray for our Morgan as she is in for a big change - her world is about to be turned upside down and we know it will be difficult for her. Please pray for her wonderful foster mother as she prepares to say goodbye to our sweetness. We will make every attempt to keep you posted through this blog on our travels, hopefully with lots of pictures too!

I'm off to pack...Morgan, mama and daddy are on their way!
