More About US!

Wow! I have never been given so much 'stink' over a post before! So I'll give an update of us and I will not even mention the pooch! As I said before we really haven't done a ton as of yet. We are still waiting for our cargo shipment to arrive with all our furniture; so we are currently sleeping on an air mattress and eating at a cardboard box! (On the hard marble floor!) So I haven't taken any pictures of the apartment yet, it's still a mess; living out of suitcases and boxes. But don't worry they are coming shortly. (That phrase has a new meaning for us here in Singapore. When Jer was trying to get the cable set up we couldn't get anyone to call us back each time they would say, "Oh yes we call you back shortly." And Jer would say, "What does shortly mean to you? Because we have been waiting 3 days!" Then he says, "Oh Mr. Redd I don't want to commit to a specific time because I would hate to disapoint myself." You have to imagine the whole thing in their Asian accent and it makes it really funny!)
Anyhow here is an update of our Friday night adventure. We have met an awesome :) couple, Jenna and Clark who have been kind enough to show the 'hot spots' and the do's and don'ts of eating in Singapore. When you all come to visit, you will quickly learn that the local food doesn't always appear tasty so you need an expert's advice. (Thank you Clark!)
Here is Marche! It is I guess their version of an upscale buffet. It is a Swiss place and had a very fun atmosphere. When you enter they give you a 'credit card' and you go around to each booth. You pick what food you want and give them your credit card and they add a charge to the card. If you're not paying attention you could end up spending more than you thought. :) Brittany Redd, Jer says that you would just LOVE it! It really made you feel like you were in a completely different place outside of Asia, maybe in the middle of the Swiss Alps! :)
Yes! I finally got my Edward! (Although he is not nearly as good looking as I see him in my dreams. :) I must say I am a huge Twilight fan. I love, love, love the books. However, right before Thanksgiving I went with my mother in law and sisters in law to see the movie, and I was sorely dissapointed! The acting was terrible and it could have been so much more ! This is a sorry picture of Orchard Rd, but I can't seem to delete it.
They do a pretty good job of trying to make it westernized for Christmas. This sleigh was right outside of Marche. Jenna and I were breaking the rules, see the sign that says DO NOT ENTER! All the Asians just stared at us, becasue they are not rule breakers here. LOL!
The whole sleigh.
Thanks Clark for getting your 'big head' in the way! :) Isn't this tree beautiful?
Ok! So this should get me off the hook for awhile. ;) We are having a great time here in Singapore and we absolutely love it! We miss you all back home, especially this time of year. Hope that your holidays are going great, we'd love to hear from you!

Everything looks amazing! It looks like you live at a resort! Hope the poochie is doing well. She's out now right? And how are you feeling lately? Will you find out what you're having soon? Does Jeremy want a boy so he can dress him in shocks and Jordan b-ball shorts?! We are so happy you love it there! We're starting to talk about maybe visiting you someday...it might take a year to convince John! Love you guys, Merry Christmas!
