Back to the Ol' St. Kitts Grindstone....

Oh St. Kitts, always full of adventures!

With our car not working for a few days and the fact that we had yet to make it to the grocery store, we wound up eating quite a bit of the goodies we packed in our suitcase (Mr. Noodles, Kraft Dinner, Stovetop, Candy, etc).  It was great!  Good ol' Canadian food products that we missed so much!  We did get a little creative, with random food we had in our apartment leftover from last semester (and the help of the Rams Express mini grocery store down the street!)

Pita Pizza - pita, diced tomatoes, green pepper, peperoni sticks, and cheese!


After a few days of jump starts and dead batteries, our amazing neighbors helped us to get our car 'Jamal' up and running for the shockingly low cost of 35 EC!  Amazing!  Our little island car is super helpful for Andee this semester, as the school bus schedule doesn't line up with his classes as well as last semester.  Now he is home nice and early in the afternoon most days, which allows for maximum pool and beach time amidst the studying!  Expect a tanned, full, and healthy Andee when we return in April!


In addition, back by popular demand, The Desperate Housewives of St. Kitts!  What shenanigans will we get ourselves into this semester?  Many more beach and pool days, lunch dates, girls nights, trivia evenings, and Blue Martini-ing!  More pictures to come!  And just for you Nick,  "We are married females, that just want to have fun!"

Our New Friend

Andee and I also made it out to Bamboo Lounge, an outdoor bar down the street.  Having so many fun things to do within walking distance from our apartment really comes in handy!  And another thing about going out in the Caribbean....no coat checks, no freezing girls in dresses and heels, and no lines!  Just wonderful!  Great friends and great fun!


This semester Andee gets home quite early in the afternoon, around 1:30-2:30 every day!  Contrast this to the 7AM departure and 6PM return 3 days a week last semester.  Hooray for Med 2!  Andee has promised that this semester he will spend more time at the beach with me, since he has a little more time on his hands.  We both realized that studying medicine on a Tropical Island is quite an experience and a blessing, and so he needs to enjoy the beauty of the Island!  Here is just a taste of the Fun-in-the-Sun to be had by Andee and I this semester!


So there you have it - St. Kitts Round Two!  Now that we have successfully transitioned into our new Marriage, new Country, new Home, and completely new Life, we are well on our way to following God's perfect plan for us.  I'm so excited and confidently expectant to find out what he has in store for us next!

    Yum that pita pizza looks good. so good that i had to pause this blog to go get some food... mine is a half stale ricecrispy square... i didnt add enough unstale marshmellows.. i think thats why they taste stale the day after i made them.

  7. What I have learned from this is that the ruder the skype harassment comments, the longer and funnier the blog comments :)

    Happy Commenting!
