(Read Part 1 here) We woke up in Bali after a very short sleep, and the weather was nice, despite the storms and heavy rain that occurred while we were sleeping. In the morning, I planned for us to eat breakfast, go to the pool, relax, and get a massage before we started our day. […]

The First Year of Marriage – Part 2
It’s officially been six full months since we got married, and we are still learning a lot about one another. Intercultural marriage is challenging at times, but my husband and I both learn a lot each day, and our lives will never be boring. Even since the three-month mark, a lot has happened, and it’s […]
My First Year in Korea
One year ago, on August 14th, 2015, I had just arrived in South Korea and was slowly adjusting to my new life. I can’t believe how fast this past year has gone by. It seems like just yesterday I was waiting for Junkyu in the Incheon Airport, ready to start my new journey. Now I […]
Getting Back in Shape for Taekwondo
When I was in Japan, I went through a phase where I went on a low-carb diet and exercised every day. I thought I needed a ton of cardio and mostly it was to lose all the winter weight I gained (from sitting under my cozy kotatsu for hours eating cake and chocolate). Mind you, […]

There was a woman there who was representing a jewelry store, and told us she would give us a discount and free pieces of […]
Wedding Album Photos – 웨딩 앨범 사진
We just went back to our wedding venue to pick up three copies of our wedding album! Our friends took the pictures and video during our wedding, but afterwards, the venue’s photographer took pictures of the two of us, as well as our family and friends. The woman who did my hair and makeup is […]
Luna the Kitten’s Adoption Story – 우리 아기 고양이 루나
When we rescued our cat Leo, we were worried he would be lonely, and we were right. We gave him the entire upstairs to play in, so that our kitchen, bedroom, and living room would all be a safe no-cat zone (to reduce dander, hair, danger to him, etc.) However, he didn’t like being up […]
