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. We had beautiful spring weather, a sunset behind us as we bowed to one another, and afterwards we had a fun party with our friends and […]

The First Year of Marriage – Part 3
Nine months have passed since our wedding day, and although I feel like it’s been a while since that day, I also think the months have flown by. Lately, my husband and I have been trying to budget our money, so I’m the one who keeps tabs on how much we spend. It’s helping me […]
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 […]
My First Year in Korea
One year ago, on August 14th, 2015, I had just arrived in South Korea and was slowly adjusting to my new life. I can’t believe how fast this past year has gone by. It seems like just yesterday I was waiting for Junkyu in the Incheon Airport, ready to start my new journey. Now I […]

Wedding Present – Bicycles! 자전거
In Korean culture, couples usually get money instead of gifts from wedding guests. 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 […]
The Audience Can’t Tell
Whenever I’m knitting and I make a small (and sometimes big) mistake, I try to fix it if it won’t take up too much time or energy. If it will, though, and the mistake isn’t going to bother me too much, I’ll let it go. Why? Because most people can’t tell. Unless you know the […]
