Home Sweet Home!

We had a whirlwind trip home last week! We were so busy and it went by so quickly that it seems like a dream.

The weekend started with one of my best friends weddings. Cristina and Mike were married at The Conservatory in St. Charles, MO. It was a gorgeous ceremony and Cristina looked fabulous. The reception was a blast and I wish we could do it all over again. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Brown!

Adam's Mom, Evie, retired after over 30 years of teaching and celebrated with a great party. There was even karaoke.

Congrats Evie! - I know you've made a huge impact on countless student's lives.

We managed to make it to Peoria so Adam could visit some of his family and I could see some of my girls =). We stopped by the Bradley campus and boy are there some changes being made. The new gym is amazing and I wish it would have been there when I was going to school!

I wrapped up the week shopping with the women of my family and buying clothes that actually fit. They have tons of shopping in Singapore but it's hard to find clothes that fit the way I'd like. We then had a relaxing afternoon at Mt. Pleasant Winery in MO on Friday before taking off again on Saturday.

We really like Singapore but miss all of you so much. It was wonderful getting to see all the people we love and we can't wait to see you again soon!

Jeremy Visits Singapore!

Well, we've had our second guest come visit Singpaore. This time, our old friend from back home, Jeremy, came down for a weekend after visiting his family up in China.

We had some great times and it was good to catch up with a friend from Edwardsville. He's just finished his MBA at Notre Dame and is starting work for IBM this fall. Good work dude.

Anyway, as a fellow foodie, Jeremy, Kate and I embarked on some new culinary crusades. New delicies on his trip included

Indian Fish Head Curry

BBQ Sting Ray

Chilli and Pepper Crabs

Bamboo Clams

and the famous stinky tropical fruit: Durian (which Kate so beautifully modeled for us.)

Here's a video of Jeremy chowing down on a Fish Eye Ball (yes.... eye ball) from the Fish Head Curry. He's always been one for the bizarre.

Thanks for visiting bud. Enjoy the rest of your Asian adventures and good luck with the new job!

Who will be the next one of you to visit? :)
