Flashback Friday

Wedding memories.....cutting the cake. Oh yeah...check out the chocolate creation...a Sandy Huckabee original!

Ubin encounter

I recently went to Ubin with my Singaporean friend, Valerie Tan. We rode bikes up to the north coast of the island, where we found this Sea Goddess Shrine. Valerie later learned from her Taoist mum that the Sea Goddess had been placed there to protect the coast from mischief-making demons who are roaming about during the "hungry ghost festival".

The Singapore Botanic Gardens....it is kind of a "fun house" effect, but we got everyone in the picture!

Farewell to Loren....

Connie's niece, Loren, leaves Singapore Saturday AM, and I just wanted to say what a delight she has been! Glad we could share some adventures, and much love and happiness from me to you, sweetie!

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009....

I'm smiling...Brad arrives in 14 hours...he is, at this moment, waiting for his connecting flight from Moscow to Singapore. We figured out the other day that he will have flown around the world this year! First trip to Singapore he flew west from LR. This trip he is flying east over Europe and Russia. I'm so happy to be here for this new phase in his life, a chef in Asia!

Happy Birthday Singapura!!

Flags, banners, and billboards are up everywhere you look.....everyone celebrates National Day in Singapore! We'll be down at Marina Bay later tonight to enjoy the fireworks.

Flashback Friday

Our first anniversary was March 16, 2007; and we spent it in Bali. As you can see, it was a trip full of memories.....what a great way to commemorate this day! Love our life, and I love my man!

National Day practice

Heidi and Ana with the Singapore Lion mascot.

These balloons were floating above Marina Bay.

Awesome fireworks at the end of the show!

Huey helicopters with a giant Singapore flag.

Crowds lined up along Marina Bay to watch the show.

The weeks prior to National Day are fun because the country hosts "practice" sessions which are actually a mini show. You can head down to Marina Bay and see everything from jets doing a fly-by to a fabulous fireworks show. I went Saturday night with Heidi and Ana and caught the preview.
