The Frozen Tundra Chalet...

So I have talked about it a lot... About a year ago I decided to make it happen! It took a while but I think I found the perfect place. I am now waiting for the closing and final paperwork and then it's mine :)

It's in Winter Park, Colorado and intended for good times - hiking, skiing, and family and friends gathering. So I am expecting visitors!

Bridget and JR, being the great friends they, joined me for the weekend to stay at the place and "scope" it out. We had a blast. Snow Shoeing in the Rocky National Park as well as hiking in the snow- yep it's snowed even though it was almost May. 

Now just waiting to finalize everything but hopefully no issues :)

Here are some pictures

Johnson Family Vacation in Puerto Rico

Had a blast spending the week with the Johnson family in San Juan, Puerto Rico. PR is always lovely but so fun with the family especially knowing I am heading back to the USA soon. We enjoyed time at the beach, pool, and shopping in Old San Juan. Did some walking through the fun streets and castles in Old San Juan. Also tackled some zip lining, hiking, and off roading in the rain forest of Puerto Rico. Just amazing! I can't wait for next year. Here are some pictures!

So it's official... I am moving home to America!

After three amazing years, I am leaving Singapore and heading back to the USA! I am so excited for another great opportunity with John Deere and to living in Kansas City. And most excited to be back by family and friends. Though I will miss my Asian travels and experiences and will always cherish them... But excited to be home :)

Thanks Singapore and the Region 1 team!

Oh how I will miss this view every day!

Girls weekend - Vietnamese style!

I am a little behind...

Got to take some lovely ladies to Saigon for the weekend. A little time to enjoy the city, food, and shopping. We had a big group so lots of good times! And it was Monja's birthday so that was another reason to celebrate. We has Janalize and Monja from South Africa, Julia from Australia, and Sarah, Lara, Kerrie, and myself from USA. Great group. Of course we stayed at the Cinnamon Hotel and of course we did the foodie tour. Always a highlight to cruise around the city on a motorbike and eat yummy food. We also hiked through the Vietnam War Tunnels and visited the War Musuem. Reminds you how blessed we are...

Though it was a hot weekend, we had a great time! Thanks ladies!

A weekend Down Under...

As I prepare to move home, I still have a couple more places to visit and explore. And I am so lucky to have such great friends - Rachel and Garth were heading to Perth and Margaret River for a weekend with family and friends and I got to join in the celebration. So appreciative! The Red House we stayed in was amazing - lovely and a great yard and of course dance floor :)

We enjoyed the wineries and the lovely village of Margaret River. Australia is always amazing. But most of all I enjoyed the people I was with. Such a wonderful trip. Here are some great pictures!
