My husband and I have been trying out some new habits this year, and though progress takes time, I think we’ve both come a long way since the beginning of the year. We are both trying to eat healthier, and I’ve been trying out new recipes whenever I can. This year alone I’ve learned to […]

The First Year of Marriage – Part 4
Wow, it’s already been a year since our Korean wedding ceremony! On April 9th, 2016, Junkyu and I were surrounded by our family and friends to celebrate our union.

There are exceptions, (a few of our friends gave us gifts) but my mom was very adamant that she wanted to buy us a gift. We thought about it for a while, but couldn’t decide. We wanted something practical, useful, and something […]
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 […]
