October (monthly)

Hello!

In short, I forgot how long this month was... but also at the same time the weeks went by so fast. It was probably the change in temperature constantly going back n forth, events back to back, and meeting people... We here though! We made it!!


1-on-1 dinner with ma girly olivia~


Came home to a beautiful pavlova cake that Hayoung made... apparently it's Australian LOL
Hayoung won't stop mentioning Australia around me...: "so how was your day?" "bright as Australia..." (not a real conversation, but something as random and similar)


Got to meet our new head pastor... Apparently it's a friend's dad LOL crazy small world!
Also, look how big our ministry is growing to be... :) I love New Hope <3

last day of the month... went to sj got some jjm, jjambbong, and shrimp thingy at beijing - beautiful! also my fit was alright that day so i thought i'd include it heh


***I feel like I really rushed this blog because I was behind on posting it so it may lack some juicy content or backstory, but if you're interested enough about my life then you'd ask so LOL

Overall, this month was BUSY. There were a lot of dinner parties hosted, projects/works that were actively picking up pace, and a lot of checking in with how I was doing mentally, physically, and spiritually. I'm still loving life but I definitely need to find healthier boundaries for myself -- financially and physically.

Love you guys <3
