The Flight

Hello Everyone from Korea!  
It is 6:20 Saturday morning in Seoul.  We had a very long trip getting here but thankfully it was not too bad.  We left Oklahoma Thursday morning and got here Friday afternoon.  The first flight was good but the second flight was amazing.  Honestly, I didn't really want to get off the plane.  Well, except for the fact that we are going to get our son!!!!!  It was wonderful, like a mini vacation.  We flew on a 747 which I know nothing about, but Aaron was soooo excited about.  Apparently, the 747 is a double decker, and we got to sit on the upper deck.  It was great.  There were only a few people up there with us so we had plenty of room to walk around. We each had our own TV with tons of movies and TV shows to watch.  Our seats would lay all the way down.  It was awesome!!!  We were able to sleep a little.  Of course Aaron didn't get much sleep because he was watching movies.  And we had great food.  After dinner, we had ice cream sundays.  AAAAHHHHH!!!!  

We don't get to meet Pryce until Tuesday (which would be Monday for you all).  We are very excited but honestly I'm a little nervous.  I'm just not sure what to expect, and I'm so afraid he is going to hate us.  Please pray for everyone...Pryce, his foster family, and us.  This transition is going to be difficult for everyone, and we are hopeful that Pryce will attach to us quickly and feel comfortable with us.  We will have a couple of days to win him over before we get on the airplane for the long trip home.  Pray, pray, pray please!!!!

Tomorrow, we are meeting up with one of Aaron's Sales Reps.  His family just happens to be Korean and in Korea right now.  I'm not sure what we are doing yet but I'm sure it will be an adventure.  I'll take lots of pictures to blog about later.  

Thank you everyone for your prayers and support!  We could not have made this journey without you!!!!



These are the 747's lined up ready to go.  They are huge!!!


This is our plane that we flew on for 11 hours.  


Aaron giving the "peace" sign.  Notice all the room we have.  Thank you Aaron for being so smart and saving all our airline points for many, many years.


Here we are.  This is before the 11 hours on the plane.  It was great!  

It has been a wonderful experience so far.  Of course, we are such homebodies that we miss home but are excited for the adventure.  

See you all soon!

  4. Fantastic! Lovin' Reevis in the 747, and so glad y'all had a decent flight. I know you're nervous and that's to be expected but we'll pray for a good start to a transition--will be long but good! Post more!
