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 […]

Taking the TOPIK I
Finally! I experienced the TOPIK for the first time. Some of you might remember that I took the JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) in the summer, and that I planned on taking the TOPIK, which is the Korean equivalent. Well, I was finally able to sign up and (after a bit of drama) finished my […]
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 […]
A Weekend of Theatre (Lights, Sound, Action!)
I feel like every time I write a blog post, I’m explaining another one of my many hobbies. I really have too many. Most of you know about my love of reading, studying languages, and knitting, but I bet none of you had any idea I was a huge theatre nerd. When I started 7th […]
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 […]
A Knitter’s Paradise in Seoul
Christmas is in the air! It’s getting colder, and I’m already thinking about gifts to give and my parents are gearing up for sending me Christmas packages. 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 […]
New girl on the block, and in the office…
So Korea has been really great so far, but the biggest challenges in my life right now are adjusting to a new job and adjusting to living with my fiancé. It’s doubly hard because I come home from work exhausted and in need of a break from the newness of it all, to find that […]
