Happy Holidays from The Schultes!

Home for the Holidays!

We had quite the time making it home for Christmas.  With finals, Brandon’s ability to help me with the moving process was definitely limited.  So on Friday, the day we flew out, we hit the ground running and started distributing our things to our wonderful friends. They so graciously offered to let us store things at their apartments over the break since our apartment was not going to be ready until we got back.  On the way home to pick up our last load, our car (Freddy) died.  His transmission went out and Brandon and I were left stranded on the side of the road.  I was already a nervous wreck and this just put me over the edge.  We called our dear friends Chris and Christy and they rushed to our aide.  I told Brandon Freddy could just sit there for all I cared, I was not going to miss that flight.  Brandon called the mechanic and I called a co-worker who picked up the rest of our things.  We took a quick shower, cleaned-up our old apartment, and checked out with our landlord in a matter of an hour.  Our friends Chris and Christy dropped us off at the airport while our friend Jake followed behind us with our luggage.  I am happy to say we made it with time to spare and we can add this to our list of “St. Kitts Experiences.”

Christmas Catamaran

This weekend, as I was busy moving, I took time to enjoy a catamaran trip that was hosted by one of my students and his family.  It was a great time had by all and a great way to unwind after a busy weekend! 

Chris and Christy!

This past weekend Brandon stayed busy with studying for finals, and I am steadily working hard to get our apartment ready for our move on Thursday! We will be flying to the great state of Texas in just three days.  This trip is bitter sweet, because we will be saying goodbye to our good friends Chris and Christy.  Chris has completed his seven semesters here on the island and they will be moving to Louisiana for his clinical year at LSU.  They have helped Brandon and I make St. Kitts our home away from home.  Christy has been my friend, mentor and confidant.  Chris has been the same for Brandon during our time here. We wish them all the best in this new chapter in their lives! 

Love You Guys!

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas!

On Thursday, the students at the prep school performed a skit based on the book Santa Cows by Cooper Edens.  It was very well done, and the kids had a great time. Santa made a special visit to St. Kitts and gave out Christmas presents to all of the kids.  They were very excited!  Only one week and six days till Brandon and I are Texas bound!

Happy Birthday Mom!

Happy birthday to a GREAT Mom! We love you very much and we appreciate EVERYTHING that you do for us! We can't wait to be home for Christmas!
