I’m posting this really late, but I wanted to share our adventures in Jinju and Busan! Junkyu had to work in Jinju early one morning, so we drove down, got a hotel room, and stayed the night. Then we went sight-seeing after he got off work. We saw Jinju Fortress 진주성 before driving down to […]

Move over Language Barrier – How Food Can Affect an International Marriage
My husband Junkyu and I have been married for over a year, and we still face bumps in the road when it comes to deciding on what to eat. We aren’t alone – many people I know who are also in international relationships face the food obstacle sooner or later, and it isn’t always easy […]
Honeymoon in Bali – Part 2
(Read Part 1 here) We woke up in Bali after a very short sleep, and the weather was nice, despite the storms and heavy rain that occurred while we were sleeping. In the morning, I planned for us to eat breakfast, go to the pool, relax, and get a massage before we started our day. […]
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 Rings (and why my husband doesn’t wear his)
About two months before the wedding, I asked Junkyu if we could look at wedding bands, but we didn’t see anything we like until we made an appointment for our pre-wedding photos. There was a woman there who was representing a jewelry store, and told us she would give us a discount and free pieces of […]
Our Pre-Wedding Photos! – 웨딩찰영
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 […]
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 […]
