Well, I am T-minus 2 hours away from leaving for the NYC airport to hop on my flight to Singapore-what a whirlwind! eek.
What a gift it was to spend a solid month at home in South Carolina watching football games, riding bikes, and toasting all small victories with Anne and David at 1006. I got to see BOTH of my brothers and catch up with friends to help hold me over until the next time we get to spend time together! I had such an incredible adventure in NYC with my brother Ben, Danielle, and sweet nephew Levin, and new friends on the first stop on my way to Singapore! I love that city!!!
After packing, unpacking, rearranging, Dad and I sitting on my luggage so we could zip it up (and then of course me asking him to add just ONE more thing!), repacking a bit more and then bidding farewell to some things that didn't make the cut, I finally tagged all my bags with eclectic yet representative IDs at exactly the weight limit-the next year+ of my life in two 50 pound bags and a carryon.
I will say, it's intimidating keeping a blog. It's hard as a rookie writer of one to separate the stellar from the snoozefest stories but I will hopefully be able to give you a glimpse of my time in Singapore through ordinary tales of living in an extraordinarily different place. Feel free to comment, ask questions, and I'll keep the songs across the top rolling-we'll be singing along together (just press play)!
Thinking about moving to Singapore is sort of like summer camp, while you never know what to expect you know you will come home changed in a way that allows you to see things with new interest and color, you'll undoubtedly discover your ability to eat something unusual when double-dared, and inevitably you will be SINGing a new song!
