I'm gobsmacked by your news. I thought the Netherlands the perfect place for you, and now you're giving it up for the uncertainty of a new adventure. My first thought was for your safety, knowing what little I know of the country. I visited Singapore for two weeks in 1992 to report on the World Methodist Conference and it was my first big international trip. It was the first time I saw armed soldiers in an airport, and the equatorial beauty of it made me long for my home in Florida. I can't conceive of how much Singapore must have changed in the 33 years since I visited. I pray that all goes well. I will follow your journey as closely as you care to share. God be with you!

Thank you, it’s a big move filled with risk and possibility for sure. We love The Netherlands and it feels so much like home now. In the current climate, it honestly feels more like home than the not so United States. There is a bit of uncertainty about how it will all unfold, but Singapore is a really safe place to be right now, even as an openly queer couple. I look forward to sharing all the new-to-me experiences as a stranger to that part of the world.
