I prepared for my 9-week solo trip about a year in advance and actually surprised myself by deciding to do it. One Sunday afternoon, my husband and I were taking a walk and I told him how much I really wanted to go to Europe before we have kids. I grew up listening to my […]

2017 Wrap-up and Ramblings
So, the end of another year is drawing near. This is a time for reflection on the past and anticipation of the future. Junkyu and I had an eventful year; we planned our second wedding ceremony in the U.S. and I was finally able to take him to my hometown, along with his sister and […]

Our American Wedding – October 7th, 2017
Our American wedding ceremony and reception was held on October 7th, 2017 on my mom’s land. We used the scenery as the backdrop for our ceremony and the barn as our reception venue. It seems like everyone had a wonderful time – we kept getting compliments on our food and atmosphere and how we made […]

Riding Rail Bikes in Wonju
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 […]

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 […]
