One thing I never thought I’d ever do in my life was donate blood. I grew up in and around hospitals and was very squeamish and hated needles, going to the doctor, or even hearing someone describe an injury or medical issue. When I was in middle school, I went to a big children’s hospital […]

Learning German – Deutsch lernen
Hallo, Leute! In my post at the beginning of the year, I wrote about my plans for a trip to Europe this year. I’ve been planning and getting really excited about it for a while now. I have guidebooks, packing lists, and I’ve watched a ton of travel videos. It can’t come soon enough! Ever […]
My Korean Mother-in-Law
I’ve almost been married 2 years now, but before we got married, Junkyu and I were long distance dating for a year and then engaged for almost a year. So, we’ve been together almost 4 years! All that time, I’ve also had a relationship with his mother, and it hasn’t always been easy being a […]
KIIP Midterm – Level 4 Test
I finally finished my level 4 KIIP class! My teacher was a lot better than my level 3 teacher, so I feel like I learned a lot more and the topics we covered in level 4 were a bit more interesting and useful. I’m glad the class is over because it was tough going to […]
KIIP Level 3 Class and Mid-Term Test
Finally! I finished my first 100 hours of classes through KIIP (Korean Immigration and Integration Program). I took the pre-test that’s required before signing up for classes (unless you are a complete beginner and no absolutely no Korean – then they place you at level 1) back in November. I was placed in level 3, […]
Taking the KIIP Pre-Test – 사회통합프로그램 신청

It sounded like an awesome thing; free Korean language and culture classes for those who plan on staying in Korea long-term. The program benefits individuals and families by making it easier to obtain a resident visa or […]
Adventures at Daecheon Beach
This past weekend, my husband and I went on a church retreat to Daecheon Beach. It’s about a two hour drive from Daejeon on the west coast of Korea. We went last year, so this is quickly becoming an annual summer trip for us. I’ve been attending an English church (Koreans also attend, and the […]
Going to the Pool in Korea
Fall and winter are perfect seasons for me. I love to cozy up under a blanket with some hot tea watching Christmas movies. My birthday is in the spring, and now my wedding anniversary is, too, but I get terrible allergies in the spring, so even that season isn’t my favorite. Summer, though, is when […]
Done with Graduate School! 대학원 끝!
I am so happy and excited to announce that I am done with graduate school! I did it. I finished my Master’s program. No more homework, staying up late to finish papers, and no more deadlines! I am a free woman. I completed my degree online through Troy University, and I loved my experience. My […]
