When we visited the 83 Tower in Daegu, we learned one of the very top floors is a romantic restaurant. We made reservations. We were both excited to get dressed up and have a romantic date night at this new restaurant. The restaurant was beautiful and fancy and romantic -- perfect for a special date. I loved the chandeliers on the ceiling, the huge bouquets of flowers, the candles on the tables -- all of it. The very best part was the view of course! We could see the whole city with all its sparkling lights. Oh, and did I mention the restaurant rotated?! Yes, it rotates so you get a 365 Continue Reading

As a military spouse myself, I have always been so thankful to those friends, family, and even strangers who have blessed me, especially when my husband is away.

A Guide to Korean Food
I am a picky eater. I always have been. My go-to dish is chicken strips and french fries. When in doubt, order that. So when I visited South Korea to see my husband who's living there, I was very nervous about the food! In fact, our first time going to a Korean restaurant made me break out in a sweat. I was so nervous that I wouldn't like anything! And not knowing what you're ordering or even eating once it arrives didn't help matters. For those of you who may be feeling panicked at the thought of trying these new foods, I've created this guide to Korean food to help you stay calm in the Continue Reading
83 Tower in Daegu
I told ya'll about visiting E-World during my time in South Korea, but I haven't told you yet about visiting the 83 Tower. After taking a cable car from E-World, we arrived at the bottom of the tower. It was a beautiful area with gardens and fountains and a great view. The cable cars were not my favorite, but that's just because I kept thinking, "What if the cable snaps?!" But luckily, it was a short ride and we arrived safely! At the bottom of the tower, there are lots of restaurants with both Korean and Western food. We went inside the tower first and took an elevator up to the Continue Reading
6 Things I Learned as a New Military Spouse
I've been married for almost two years to a man in the military. Right after our honeymoon, I moved in with my husband who was stationed in Georgia at the time. Moving near a military base, spending time there, and listening to a husband talk about his job made me learn so much about military life. As an Army girlfriend, I really had no idea about so many of the things I know about now. Today, I'm sharing the six things I've learned as a new military spouse. 1. Revelry & Retreat Every morning, the American flag is lifted and Revelry is played over speakers throughout the Continue Reading
E-World in Daegu
Travis and I recently spent a day at an amusement park called E-World in Daegu. It was such a neat experience and we got so many fun photos that I wanted to share it with ya'll. This is a great activity for anyone stationed at Camp Walker, Camp Henry, or Camp Carroll. E-World is an amusement park that seemed to have a love theme. There were lots of heart decorations and signs that read, "Love Park," "Love Path", and "Romance." We went during their spring season so they had flowers everywhere! So many tulips! It was beautiful! The park has lots of rides and things to do -- roller Continue Reading
Officers’ Housing at Camp Walker
Not long after Travis got his orders to the Republic of Korea, we began wondering what the housing situation was like. Would they have room for him on post? Would he need to find his own place off post? What does the housing there look like? What types of furniture do they provide? We had so many questions. We tried researching online but didn't find much. We tried asking others who had gone before but no one had been at Camp Walker. We even tried calling and emailing the housing department at Camp Walker, but they never responded. When you are about to move to the other side of the Continue Reading
How to Say Numbers in Korean
Remember when I shared some common phrases in Korean? Well, another great thing to learn in another language is how to say numbers. You may need to use numbers when ordering at a restaurant, buying things at a market, receiving or giving directions, and so many other things. So today, I'm sharing how to say numbers in Korean. The English number is in bold and the Korean number is next to it. Like I said in my previous post, some of the Korean symbols don't really correspond to English letters -- such as T, D, G, and K. Because of this, you may see different spellings of these words, but Continue Reading
Common Phrases in Korean
Are you planning a trip to Korea? Or perhaps you are moving there? My husband lives there now, and I'm going to visit soon! One thing I'm worried about is the language barrier. I don't know a thing about the Korean language! Maybe you don't either? As a way to help myself, my husband, and others who may be visiting Korea, I am sharing common phrases in Korean for you to learn. Here is a list of some common phrases in Korean that would be great for learning. Some of the Korean symbols don't really correspond to English letters -- such as T, D, G, and K. Because of this, you may see Continue Reading
South Korean Culture
Travis has officially lived in South Korea for one month, and even in that short amount of time he has learned a lot about South Korean culture. I love hearing about the things he's learned, and others I've talked to find South Korean culture very interesting too. There are so many things we didn't know! I wanted to share what we've learned in this first month. People dating in South Korea do not meet each other's families until after they are engaged. When a Korean baby is born, they are automatically considered a one-year-old. Therefore, a Korean may be 20 years old, but to Americans he Continue Reading
30+ TV Series to Watch as a Couple
Living apart from your husband for a year can be hard, especially when there's a big time difference. We miss a lot of things about being together, but especially those little things. Things like watching TV together while cuddling on the couch. While Travis is on the other side of the world, we decided to start a new TV series together. We can both watch them on our own, but stay on the same pace with each other. That way we can talk about the episodes whenever we talk, or leave each other messages about the episode to see when we wake up. It's something we can do "together" while we're Continue Reading
Free Apps for International Communication
One of my biggest concerns when Travis left for South Korea was figuring out how we would communicate with each other. He wouldn't be able to take his cell phone because of the international charges and fees he would have. He was able to put his cell phone on a military hold without any fees, and he bought a new phone in South Korea. Thankfully, we have found many ways to talk even on different sides of the world! For anyone else who is preparing for a move or long trip overseas, I wanted to share what we use to communicate, as well as other free apps for international Continue Reading
