Here We Go Again!!!


Its about that time again....I'm finishing our last minute Christmas shopping today & we should be all done! I hope, cause I keep feeling like I'm forgetting someone or something but I really think its just that it feels weird not to be home decorating a tree, fighting 71st street and cozyin up to fire. But we'll get there soon enough. Being here, however has made me appreciate who I am, my beliefs, values and traditions. I love the fact that in Singapore everyone celebrates pretty much every holiday. There is no, my child shouldn't have to do this or that at school cause we dont believe that, crap! I think Christmas here in Singapore could be bigger than it is back home(sad, I know, but true). They have transformed the tropics into a tropical Christmas wonderland at every corner, its truly amazing. It feels very surreal, I cant even explain.

This weekend we did tons of Christmas shopping & also took in a night at the ballet to see The Nutcracker. Matt was confused, but so cute, when he asked why nobody was talking :) It was defintely a great treat!!

Matt and I are VERY excited about coming home. We are so excited to get to see everyone at Christmas & feel so blessed we have such wonderful people to spend it with. We are absolutely thrilled about getting married! We have LOVED our engagement so much & have really been focusing on preparing for the best marriage we can possibly have. We have enjoyed spending so much time together & really love the bond we share & the growth that has come with it! There is definitely nothing else like it in the world!

Please pray for us and everyone else traveling for the upcoming holidays, that everyone be kept safe! And pray that everyone across the world, at some point, find the warmth of Christ at Christmas in their hearts!

Off to shop,clean, do laundry and pack for the next couple of days! See you all when we get home!

Happy Holidays!
