Good Thursday morning one last time from Seoul

Good morning/afternoon everyone!

It is 5:45 am here in Seoul on Thursday...we woke up about an hour ago. When I first woke up, I thought...we get to go get Mia soon...and then I thought, I'M SCARED!?! :o) With your first child, you don't know what you're getting yourself into. ;o) We thought we were prepared for Huston's arrival and had a good idea of what to do...WRONG! You bring your first child home and reality slaps you in the face. It doesn't matter how many books you've read or that you've taken a parenting class, etc...you are not remotely prepared for the reality of being completely responsible for this new little human being. Since this is our second child, I have a little bit of confidence in knowing that "this too shall pass" as far as the lack of sleep, etc. but I also know that it will be LOTS of work, a difficult transition for all of us and plus this time around I'll have my precious boy to take care of, too. :o) We are ready for this next adventure and it will begin in a little over two hours. GOD IS GOOD!

I know we've been thanking everyone for their prayers and support...but here I go again. THANK YOU! It has been AMAZING to see God work in this "journey to Mia". Although, we may be a little "scared" at times, the peace we have from seeing that this truly is God's plan for our family is wonderful. We have been so blessed by all of the love and support and have felt the prayers that you all are lifting up on our behalf.

I guess I better sign off and go run happy/nervous laps around the room. We packed last night...that was QUITE a chore trying to figure out how to STUFF everything back into the suitcases, plus all of Mia's stuff from Korea...but we did it!

Huston...Mommy, Daddy & Mia will be home soon. We love you and are so proud of you for being such a BIG boy while we were gone. We cannot wait to hold you and give you LOTS of squishes and kisses. :o)

WE LOVE Y'ALL!
Patty, Rusty & Mia

You're coming home as I type this and my prayer is that the three of you are getting a little rest, what little you can actually get in an airplane. I can't wait to meet little Mia!! My prayer is that you'll continue to see the blessings of God's mercy and grace and that His hand will carry you in a safe trip home.
Love Ya'll,
The Worthans

Jonelle just called me and said she got to see precious Mia. I am so happy for your family. I know this has been a dream of yours for a long time and now it's all coming true. God Bless you all and I can't wait to hold that precious little girl.

I can't even begin to tell you how touching your blog has been! God is so wonderful. It seems like just yesterday I was in Midland with Leslie and ya'll at Starbucks and you were selling the wipe box covers to raise money to bring home your future daughter and now she is home with you! I can't wait to come see her! You need to make sure though that you teach her the important things in life...you know....like Canton....God bless you all. PLEASE post more photos and updates about "life with Mia" now!
