Today marks three months since our wedding day. Time seems to fly by…I can’t believe it’s already July. So much has happened since our wedding already, and looking back, I am proud of all the challenges we have conquered. There is an American TV program that I love to binge on called Marriage: The First […]

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 […]
About this “Loving Anywhere” Business…
I want to write my honest thoughts about some things I have encountered here in Korea after living in Japan for a total of 3+ years. I am in a somewhat unique situation, so I haven’t found that many people who can relate to me or share my sentiments. These are all things I’ve gathered […]
On Not Changing My Last Name
Before I even got engaged to my now husband, my mom, my grandma and I were standing in line for the Hogwarts Castle ride in Universal Studios Japan. It was our second time visiting The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. The first time, we went to Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida, and I was a […]
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 […]
Wedding Present – Bicycles! 자전거
In Korean culture, couples usually get money instead of gifts from wedding guests. There are exceptions, (a few of our friends gave us gifts) but my mom was very adamant that she wanted to buy us a gift. We thought about it for a while, but couldn’t decide. We wanted something practical, useful, and something […]
Our Korean Wedding – 우리 결혼했어요
On Saturday, April 9th, 2016, Junkyu and I got married in the traditional Korean style, just as the sun set. It was a beautiful spring day, and although I had no idea what to do during the ceremony, the staff were very kind and helpful, and everything went smoothly. A few days before, we picked up […]
Meet Leo – Our Adopted Kitty! – 고양이를 분양 받았어요!
Junkyu and I are both animal lovers. Growing up, I had a beloved labrador retriever named Ellie who followed me everywhere. My mom and I also took our horses trail riding as often as we could, and when I was in high school, she finally bought some land and now has a growing farm and […]
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 […]
