Leaving Our Mark on the Little Red Dot

It has been said that you should leave something better than you found it. We couldn’t agree more as it relates to our temporary homeland of Singapore.



The American Association of Singapore arranged a campaign to plant 50 trees (named in honor of the 50 states and to tie in with Singapore’s 50th birthday) plus one tree (for Singapore.) We jumped at the chance to leave a little piece of legacy and sponsor three trees on behalf of our families. One for Nevada for Amy’s family, one in Oklahoma for Raegen’s family and one for Arizona where Amy and Raegen met and consider home (for now).


On a grossly hazy Saturday morning, our friend Ms. J. Patton* (whose blog can be found here) and I headed out to the Woodlands Park Connector where we put the final touches on our trees which are planted along a running path providing years of shade and some much needed clean air to Singapore.


Thanks to the American Association for allowing us to leave the little red dot better than we found it.

Happy Trails,

Amy & Raegen 


*Sneaky....not really her most recent name
