This time tomorrow, Lord willing (and I think He is!), we will be well on our way to the land of my husband and daughter's birth. Oh, what an incredible journey this is! No matter how prepared I thought I was to "get the call", things have suddenly gone crazy around our house! It's such an exciting time ~ truly it has yet to sink in for me! Probably once I get on the plane I will realize this is all really happening!!! For now, my mind is going in ten different directions as I'm trying to sum up last minute preparations and packing!!!!
Our girls will be staying with my mother while we are away. They are soooo excited about all the special things they have planned! I told Callie yesterday one of the hardest things for me was to leave she and Claire. She assured me, in truest Callie fashion, it was going to be harder for me than for her!!! I am so thankful for my mother!!!! Buckets and buckets of blessings and grace to you, Mommy!
Interesting trip tid-bits:
- We got our travel call one year and one day after we mailed in our initial application
- Our travel call came 2 days shy of 3 months after our referral
- We will be flying on a Boeing 747
- We are leaving at 12 noon on Wednesday and will arrive in Korea 5:10 pm on Thursday!
- We will leave Korea next Wednesday at 10:05 am and arrive in Atlanta at 10:45 am the same morning!
- Our flight over is 15 hours and 5 minutes
- Our flight back is 13 hours and 40 minutes
Prayer requests
- Traveling safety / mercies
- That Tim will walk in grace and peace as he returns to his homeland
- That I will NOT get motion sick!
