My husband works all around Korea, and sometimes hospitals that are quite far away ask him to work on Saturdays, so we don’t get to have as many weekend dates as we’d like. However, one hospital was a close enough drive to Wonju, somewhere I’d yet to visit, so we decided to go after he […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Making friends in Korea (finally!)
I am reading a book called The Gifts of Imperfection by Brene Brown about vulnerability, shame, and how to be one’s authentic self (I intend to write a review of it soon, so stay tuned) and I can’t help but think God always puts the right book in my hands at the right time. At work, I’ve […]
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 […]
All the Furniture!!!
Exhaustion wiped me out yesterday… I suddenly got a call last week saying my visa number was issued, which meant I had to go to Japan to get my visa for Korea put into my passport…The next day. I scrambled to write a paper for grad school, pack up my things, and set my alarm […]
