Singapore Expats

Our family has begun a wonderful new adventure. We moved overseas to Singapore in December. Although we miss our family, we love being able to show the kids how small the world really is. We feel like they are learning to respect and value other cultures and their own. We have already made many new friends. It is amazing how expats make quick friends. We are blessed beyond words.


We are renting a beautiful home. We have one car that Dax uses to get to work. The rest of us rely on public transit. We ride the SMRT (Singapore mass rapid transit, it's a subway) to and from school everyday. My kids know how to flag down a taxi and get where they need to go. We even are working to learn bus schedules. We are a very short walk to the fabulous Bishan park, the grocery, a mall, and lots of yummy food. It is such a wonderful experience.
