Ready to Go!

Our bags are packed, some last minute things got done around the house and we're ready to fly to Seoul to meet our son!
Our first meeting will be with Gabe and his foster parents at 11am on Friday (which is 9pm on Thursday here). Any prayers, good vibes, warm thoughts, etc. you'd like to send us across the ocean at that time are appreciated.
We have Saturday and Sunday on our own. Monday we go back to the agency for a luncheon, and hopefully more Gabe time. Then on Tuesday afternoon we will meet him and his foster family again at the agency and bring him with us...forever. The three of us will spend Tuesday night together getting to know each other, then we head home on Wednesday.
Next post will be from Seoul...
