25 days plus 37 days equals Singapore

As of this morning, we have 25 days left here in our Allen home. It is hard to believe that the time has gone as quickly as it has. We are all excited about our adventure to Singapore for the next 3 years. However, the excitement does not come without hesitation as well. Most days the kids are thrilled about the move but on occasion they will question about seeing their friends and missing their house. I try to reassure them that they will make new friends and ALWAYS tell them that they will be able to swim almost everyday as long as it is not raining. That usually makes them happy. Our calendar is jam packed with getting ready for the movers on May 1st as well as daily life so the next 25 days will be a whirlwind.


We will then stay at an extended stay hotel until move day to Singapore on June 6th. So that is 37 days in a hotel. I sure hope I can survive the small quarters with 3 kids. I hope to pack the calendar in May with lots of playdates for the girls since Graham will be in school.


Lots of people have been asking what our place will look like in Singapore so I thought I would post a few pictures. It is a brand new place which made it alot more appealing to me. The bathrooms are what sealed the deal for me. Just look at some of them...

This is the shower for the kids! Look at how big it is...it is heavenly. Of course they could care less but still...it is heavenly.
This is the master bathroom. I think I could stay in there all day long!


This is the view of the front of the townhouse. It has 4 bedrooms so there will be plenty of space for visitors. Since Singapore is a small island everything is built up instead of out. The unfortunate part of our new place is that there are ALOT of stairs, 3 sets to be exact. I figured that just means more exercise for everyone.



Here is our teeny tiny kitchen but all the kitchens we saw were all small. There isn't even a dishwasher. But I am sure I will manage without one.

This is our front entry. There is no traditional door. All the glass doors open so if we wanted a breeze through the house we could just open it up.

The kids' rooms are on the top floor. They also have a wall of sliding glass doors that lead out to a balcony. This is the view from their balcony.

I have pictures of the rest of the rooms in the house but it is pretty boring, since the rooms are all empty. As soon as I get there and get furniture in the new place I will post more pictures.
