One Year down!

On April 10th, we, The Denton Clan completed our first year in Singapore. The actual day was an ordinary one but the date is monumental for us. Last Year at this time we found ourselves with lots of doubts, concerns, worries and just a fear for living somewhere other than Texas but this year we find ourselves ready for more. Although change is hard we have learned that their is usually a Blessing behind the change and we look forward to the next year here or wherever God leads us. Singapore has really grown on us and we are so thankful for our new home here.
