A few weeks ago, we went to a photography studio to get our pre-wedding photos taken. It’s a concept we don’t have in America (although we do take engagement photos, they are usually taken outside and are not as posed) but I have always wanted to do it. When one of my favorite Youtubers, Bubz, […]

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 […]
Korean Wedding Planning – 결혼식 준비
Finally! Wedding planning is in full swing. We set a date for our wedding in Korea a few months ago, but it didn’t feel like it was real then. Now, we are less than 60 days away and I’m getting really excited. Our wedding will be a traditional Korean wedding, held at an outdoor/indoor venue […]
Our First Christmas Party
My fiancé has two older sisters who are both married, each with two kids. Everyone in Korea tells me this is bad news for me because everyone is afraid of marrying the only son, especially one who is the youngest child. The reason they give me is that an only boy is doted on and […]
Cat Cafe in Seoul
Work has me swamped lately! It’s Thanksgiving this week, and I have a lot of preparations to do for my kindergarten class. I am also nearing the end of my current graduate school class, which means I have a paper, a presentation, and a test due soon. However, I did go to a cat cafe […]

Last year, even though I lived alone in Japan, I got two big boxes from my parents and my little apartment was transformed into a normal American Christmas. […]
A Sheepish Weekend in Daegwallyeong
I grew up riding horses and around animals, but for a very long time, one of my favorite animals has been sheep. I used to ask my mom to let us get some once we moved out to the country on 25 acres, but she was against it, since sheep need a certain kind of […]
Game Together, Stay Together
In case you didn’t know, I’m a video gamer. I grew up on video games like Pokemon, Super Mario, Zelda, Pac Man, etc. As an only child, video games gave me a lot to do when I was bored in my house alone. When I went to my cousins’ or friends’ houses, we would all […]
A Korean Family Chuseok
Junkyu’s friends come over a lot. When I first started dating him, he would let me meet everyone over Skype and it made me feel really included, albeit a bit awkward. Then, when I would visit Korea, we would hang out with his friends and family, and it made me feel even more part of […]
