We're Leavin' On a Jet Plane...

OMG THIS IS IT!!!! We are leaving around 3 am early Monday morning to head to the airport. I'm freaking out but excited. We're flying to Atlanta and then catching a flight direct to Seoul from there. The weather there looks like it'll be between 30 and 40 degrees during the day and dropping from 40 degrees to the upper teens the night before we're going to leave. We might have a couple of days where the temp is in the mid 50s but either way it's winter jacket, gloves and a hat weather.

And okay if you ever saw me with chopsticks, I'm pretty bad. Most of you haven't just because I know that I'm that bad and didn't want to embarrass myself in front of you. I was thinking of taking the kids training chopsticks with me at one point this weekend if that gives you any indication on how nervous I am to use my chopstick skills in Korea. I have decided that I am going to embarrass myself in Korea but I will use regular adult chopsticks. I'm hoping that I'm too horrible in Korea and who knows maybe I'll get some pointers as to how to use them properly.

The kids are excited to see their new sister and can't wait to get e-mail from us from Korea. Ryan is scared since he "doesn't know what Tae Hee looks like". I keep telling him "yes you do...you have pictures of her". Then he gets a big smile on his face. The kids are going to have a grand time with Nana and Papa (my parents) and perhaps even have a scheduled playdate or two with friends.

The bags are packed (God I hope that I'm not missing anything important!!!). My parents have everything they're going to need (I hope). The dog has her food. Our kids hopefully will behave themselves for Nana and Papa while we're gone.

Next time I post, we'll be in Korea!!!
