Catchin' Up!

We are back in Singapore where the weather is warm! What an awesome trip home for the holidays :) I can't believe how fast a month went by. But, considering all the places we visited and the number of times we changed family "hotels," there was never a dull moment. We each made the trip to and from the US/Singapore alone, and luckily had no problems/delays/flight cancellations.
I got to spend a weekend with my sisters and Mom down in Nashville, TN at the Opryland Hotel as an early Christmas present for my Mom. Although they overbooked the hotel and we had to stay in HALF of a suite, we still had a great time. Adam celebrated his 30th birthday during the holiday season and was recently promoted at work.
All in all we attended 8 family Christmas parties! Talk about a crazy week! But, it was great since we have never been able to make all of them in one year. Who knows when we will be able to have enough time off work to do that again?
After the holidays we enjoyed catching up with friends and family, butchering at the Tempel's and playing BINGO with Grandma:) I even made a trip to Indy to see Lauren & Chris. Our pugs finally got to meet each other! I'm not sure if Bentley and Blue liked each other, but they seemed to have a good time chasing each other and fighting over toys.
Now that we are back in Singapore and adjusting to the heat & humidity, and driving on the left side of the road again; we are planning a few more trips around Asia. Vietnam is definitely in the plans and we are considering visiting Australia and Indonesia if time and money allow. It looks like I may be moving back to TX in late March/April. Oh how time flies!
Here are some pics of our time in Indiana:
