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 […]

Sad News about Leo
Unfortunately, our cat Leo passed away this weekend. Although I never mentioned much of the health problems he faced, since we got him in March, he constantly baffled us with his behavior and multiple vet trips never told us much. We rescued him from living in the streets, but I think he liked being outdoors […]

Adopting a Shelter Kitten in Korea – Meet Penny!
For those of you who know me or have been following my blog for the past few months, you remember that back in March of this year, we took in an adult cat from the streets. At the time, he was being fed by a local store owner, but didn’t have a permanent home, and […]
RIP Luna…
Our kitten Luna was back with us for about a week before showing signs of an illness. I rushed her the vet and they diagnosed her with Feline Panleukopenia (distemper) and didn’t give her good odds on making it.

Luna the Kitten’s Adoption Story – 우리 아기 고양이 루나

We wanted something practical, useful, and something […]

A (Slightly Stressful) Trip to Seoul!
We live in Daejeon, so we are able to drive to Seoul in a few hours or take the KTX there which only takes 50 minutes, but that doesn’t mean we go often. Since Junkyu started his new company, he spends his weekends at the office a lot of the time. However, I had to […]
