We had an awesome 4th of July weekend. We went out to the Navy installation at Sembawang. The American Association put on such a great event with live music, tons of good food, beer, margaritas and wine (by bottle or glass). There was tons of stuff for the kiddos to do ie: face painting, dunk tank(I didn't cause the line was really long), bouncy castles and jumbo slides. Luckily all that stuff was at the back of the event so it really cut down on kids running and screaming through the front part. Definitely well organised. There were probably ~2000 people or so.
Matt & I got a prime seat, right next to all the food and beverage stuff and also in front of the stage, so we could have a great view of all the performances. And ended up with the best seat in the house for the fireworks.
Oh and we were completely 100000% safe and secure. Upon walking up to the event we saw guards, in camo wearing jungle hats and walking the perimeter with guns....like AK47's or something. Crazy. And then right when we got to very front entrance by the metal detectors, there was a military man standing in the back of a truck watching over with a machine gun. I jumped. Scared the crap out of me. But also makes you feel totally safe.
I have been inspired to take on some sewing....hmmmm I've never really done that before. Anything I've had to "patch" or "fix" uhm kind of turns into knots. So this should definitely be the ultimate challenge. Ahem. Oh and the reason I'm doing this because I was supposed to start my new job today, but the lady I'm working for is still in Houston for another week & pushed her trip back several days. So, I figured I have sometime on my hands, and I may have seen Mrs Sheehan's blog about sewing a cute summer top, so why not me? I told Matt I'm going to become a cooking, sewing extraordinaire and he just raised his eyebrows and giggled a bit.
Thats about all for now. Matt is off to work this week as usual. I pray nothing too crazy happens. All of his team is back in Singapore, so I think that is helping a bit. And he got his new phone last week. At least I know he is eating well; thats because I pack his lunches every day. So, if nothing else, at least he can say his lunch was good!
Hope everyone had a wonderful, safe 4th weekend. We hope everyone is doing good!
