2 Years Ago........

These 2 people......

Boarded this big blue plane............

With all these bags......

For the trip of a LIFETIME!!!!

I vividly still remember the feelings of that day. The excitement, the fear, the overwhelming joy, and the sheer terror all rolled into one. We had NO idea of what lay ahead. We were flying by the seat of our pants. I was scared to death to be on a plane for that amount of time, to live in another country for a whole week, and most of all to meet our son and become his mother!!! I also remember that it was one of the BEST experiences of our lives. Boarding that plane I let go of everything I had ever known, and became a mother. I remember crying on take off and landing in Seoul to know that we had made it. WE HAD MADE IT TOGETHER!!!! And the next week of our lives would forever change us....we would fall in love with a land, a people, and our son. Who knew that a simple plane ride could take you to another life???? A new life, and everything you had ever known before is gone.

And in a few short months we will board a similar blue plane

and travel to that same far away land

and see those same beautiful people

and meet our DAUGHTER for the very first time!!!!

Being a mother has shown me that I would travel to the ends of the earth for our children. I would sit on that blue plane for 1,000 hours if it took me to them. We are so looking forward to our journey again. When I landed in Korea 2 years ago, never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that I would be returning just 2 years later. Never would I have dreamed that I was looking forward to being on that plane again. But I am.....because that is how we'll get to our girl!!!!!!!!!!!!
