We landed in Seoul about 2 hours ago(4:50am Seoul time). Basically, I slept 3.5hours Monday night due to nerves. Then Tuesday evening we flew out to LA, landed there and waited for 4 hours before flying out at what would be 2:20am our time. I took a sleeping pill about an hour into the flight and dozed for short bursts, but no real sleep. Now, it is Thursday morning here(15hours ahead of CST). My body is super confused! Our flights were uneventful. Asiana Airlines is the cadillac of airlines and we were amazed at the service, comfort and food quality. I've been really emotional since yesterday before leaving. It was so hard to leave Carter and Dillon and when we took off for LA, I cried. I also cried reading a new book a friend gave me that my mom and sisters have to read! Then, here in the airport, I cried seeing toddlers with parents. It is crazy to think that at 2pm today we meet Hudson. I really have no idea how big he is, what he likes, how he will react. I'm overwhelmed at the privelage to be adopting again. I've escorted 2 babies for other families who couldn't travel and remember thinking how I'd love to do this again! It is coming true! Of course, after the brutal journey(and admittedly, I don't travel well), I'm pretty well sure this is the last one! I'm really enjoying seeing Abby in her homeland and wishing we'd spent more effort making her go to Korean school that we knew was offered in our city. Adoptive parents: do make your children learn about their heritage, it is a priceless piece of them that shouldn't be ignored!
Okay, so we wait for the driver to pick us up. We landed way to early for him! I'll post later with pics of meeting our new baby boy!
He has told you, O man, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justice, to love kindness, And to walk humbly with your God? Micah 6:8
In tears, Lib! Give your sweet boy a kiss on the head for me! Can't wait to hear all about your visit. Hugs!
