One Year Anniversary!

Today is my and Andee's One Year Anniversary!  Yay!  My gift to the Hubby?  Four Final Exams next week!  What a great wife I have become!  Just kidding!  However, with limited resources, lack of free time due to Andee's exam schedule, lack of a car, lack of money, and a severe lack of food in the apartment (getting rid of anything fresh before leaving for 2 weeks), the best I could do was bake a batch of chocolate chip muffins, provide a brand new package of goldfish crackers for studying snacks, make a cute pop-up card, and promise a delicious dinner at The Keg when finals are over with and we arrive back in Canada!  For our "Paper Anniversary" (the first year of marriage), Andee took the time to made me a collage of pictures of the two of us with lyrics to a beautiful song.  I appreciated the time taken out of studying to make me such a cute present!  So with a day full of intense studying ahead, and in true St. Kitts fashion, we decided (for now) that this was "good enough!"

They say (who is they?) that the first year of marriage is the hardest, and that's without the added craziness of St. Kitts and Medical School!  There are a lot of words I could use to describe this first year of our adventure together - amazing, crazy, exciting, scary, fun, fulfilling, perfect!  Why perfect?  Because God has a perfect plan for us, so that even when life seems crazy and impossible (aka Medical School and life in the Caribbean), thank goodness Jesus promises that “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” - Matthew 19:26.  PTL!

Tomorrow, August 15th, marks another interesting phenomenon - only 4 more months left in St. Kitts!  And with our nearly 3 week vacation coming up very soon, it is really more like 3 months left on our little Island!  Where did the time go??  In honor of our very limited tropical time left, some recent Island pictures!

Canada Countdown:  4 days!  If this blog is neglected for the next few weeks, it is because Andee and I will be living it up Canada style with some much needed Family Fun!  Canadians - see you very soon!  Honorary Kitittians - We'll be back!
