Wedding Planning from Abroad

September 9, 2017September 9, 2017 ninjamoni 1 Comment

In about two weeks, I’ll be leaving for my hometown. I haven’t been back to the U.S. in 2 years, so I’m excited to eat and shop (mostly for books and shoes, since my size is so elusive here in Korea) and see my friends and family! Junkyu will come about two weeks later and […]

June 25, 2017June 25, 2017 ninjamoni 2 Comments

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 […]

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.

Identity as a Foreign Wife in Korea

November 17, 2016November 17, 2016 ninjamoni 6 Comments

Now that I’m married to a Korean native and living in Korea, what do I call myself? I used to identify as an expat (as that’s what most Westerners call themselves when moving abroad for work). But now I only work part-time and my job does not make up an important part of my identity […]

The First Year of Marriage – Part 2

October 9, 2016October 19, 2016 ninjamoni Leave a comment

It’s officially been six full months since we got married, and we are still learning a lot about one another. Intercultural marriage is challenging at times, but my husband and I both learn a lot each day, and our lives will never be boring. Even since the three-month mark, a lot has happened, and it’s […]

Adventures at Daecheon Beach

September 8, 2016September 9, 2016 ninjamoni 1 Comment

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

August 16, 2016September 7, 2016 ninjamoni 5 Comments

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 […]

Today marks three months since our wedding day. Time seems to fly by…I can’t believe it’s already July. So much has happened since our wedding already, and looking back, I am proud of all the challenges we have conquered. There is an American TV program that I love to binge on called Marriage: The First […]

Wedding Rings (and why my husband doesn’t wear his)

June 3, 2016October 19, 2016 ninjamoni 2 Comments

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 […]
