Can't believe it's been half a year already! Married... and thoroughly loving it. There are always challenges to living in a foreign country, things don't always function the way one would expect when in a different culture. Those things will continue... where you live is simply a backdrop to life. And in any circumstance, whether it be stimulating or overwhelming, challenging or dull, you have to choose what to let yourself be frustrated with and what to allow your mind to focus on.
We've seen it as such a blessing to be away for the first season of married life. There are less distractions and obligations. We have the opportunity to spend a ton of time together and establish what we want our relationship to be like. It seems totally normal to be married here; everyone knows us as married in Seoul. We've met some incredible friends including some other young married couples who have served as a rad encouragements to us. I still wake up many days and say to myself with a smile, "I'm married!" That's usually followed by... "and I live in Korea?" Never would have guessed.
We've been stretched and challenged in new ways... yet to sit here at six months knowing we have the rest of our lives together, is exciting. Wouldn't have chosen any other way.
