At Long Last!

Finally our pictures from Singapore! (We got a new camera and it took Jer awhile to figure out how to download the pictures so it's all his fault! :) We had a great time while in Singapore here are just the highlights.
Here we are on our first day touring. It was a very hot and humid afternoon, and was a perfect time to watch the boat races and the wake-boarding competitions that just happened to be going on. The boats looked like bullet bikes just in boat form. They were pretty cool.
There is this awful smelling fruit called Duran, this spiky looking building was created after it. The fruit smells so bad, it is illegal to carry it in cabs or on the MRT (high speed trains) because of the strong smell.
This is the famous lion overlooking Marina Bay. Who's the handsome guy?
Who knew that Jeremy could take such lovely pictures? I was impressed how he got the beautiful flowers in the foreground of the skyscrapers.
This was probably the most entertaining thing we did that week. This tourist attraction is called the Wheel. It was just finished February of this year and it is the largest Wheel in the world. It takes a half hour to complete one full turn; and the views are absolutely breath-taking. You can see the entire Island including nearby countries; Indonesia and Malaysia. When ya'll come to visit we'll take you here! Be careful getting on and off, it doesn't ever stop!
Here is the chapel that we will be attending. The Sunday that we were there, was the week they watched General Confrence. We were able to meet a few of the members and the bishop and his wife. Our ward is all expats (citizens from other countries working and living in Singapore.) Most are from America, Europe, and Austrailia. Although Singapore is thousands of miles away from Idaho, this is still a pretty small world! My brother's wife Erin, has a sister, Heather who lives with her family in Singapore! We are so excited to have some familiar faces! Ryan and Heather you guys are the best!
This was our rental car for the week. . . yeah right. One morning we walked out of our hotel to see all these amazing million dollar cars in the parking lot.
This one was my personal favorite. You've never seen a backend look so GOOD before! Whoa! It was HOT!!!
This is once we finally arrived in the Singapore Airport. It was very clean and beautiful. (You should have seen the bathrooms! They were amazing!)

Singapore is Beautiful!!!

Jeremy and I are currently in Singapore looking for housing. We will be making our permanent move here (for the next 3 to 5 years) at the end of November. We were a little nervous and anxious about the move, but after visiting here we have fallen in love! (Laying out by the pool and getting a considerable tan in only two hours, definitely helps! Especially when it is snowing back home!) I can't wait to get home so I can post all the amazing pictures we've taken so far. I am also very excited to get back home to Daisy. This is the first time I have left her and I am really beginning to miss her! I know it sound dumb, but I am so grateful for our friends Becky & Matt, and Tyra & Lexi for taking such good care of her! Thank you again! Stay tuned for pictures of the tropical Island paradise!

Everyone keeps telling me that May is the perfect time to have a baby. . . so I guess we'll see! Since I'm not showing yet, I don't have a picture to show. . . but I will soon! So stay tuned. :)
