Well Jay and Miles, and I are off to the farm today! I'm a nervous "cat mother" because Miles hasn't ever travelled so far and we're taking him to a much bigger environment (The Farm) than he's used to (The Condo)!! Jay says he'll do fine and that I worry too much but I really hope he'll do okay! We'll be gone for 3 weeks and come back for Christmas Eve to Beaumont with my family. I'll make this short because we still have some packing to do!!
Cheers,
Sarah & Jay
Well, it's only been a few months! A busy few months at that. We've already been married for 5 months and I'm still trying to figure out how that happened! We've both been very busy. I've been working my buns off to save up money for the time that I am taking off in the new year (more on that later) and Jay is but one final and one more semester with 4 courses away from being done with university! Then the big plan is to put the condos up for sale in April-ish and move to the farm at the end of April/beginning of May into the farmhouse. Joy and Dan have bought their first home in Houston, Texas so we'll be taking over their nest in the spring.
So we're a mere 2 weeks away from Christmas and Jay and I will be leaving the city to go to the farm for Christmas in a week. We'll come back to Edmonton to spend Christmas Eve with my family, but I'll be working for 3 weeks back in Drumheller when we're down at the farm. Before Christmas we'll be heading to Jasper for our 2nd annual "Nurse Mafia" ski/snowboarding trip with our good friends Katie & Shane, Becky & Jeff, and Kathleen & Tom. I got all new snowboarding equipment this year (thanks to the wonderful Canadian dollar and good online sales in the States!) and can't wait to try it out.
More countdowns...it's only a month and 2 days before we head back to Maui! We'll be going with Jay's parents as well as Laura & Craig. It will be very nice to go back so soon and have some people to do things with when we're over there. It's also about 2 months away until I leave this continent for the first time and go on the orthopedic medical trip to Ecuador. Fundraising is going very well and I think I'll reach my goal of $2000.
I think that should do it for now. Looking very forward to seeing Lisa tomorrow as we're going to see Bon Jovi with her cousin Sarah and Keri.
Merry Christmas!

Only some of the leaves may be falling, people might still be running around in shorts, skirts, and t-shirts, but it is now September and that concludes the end of summer, and the beginning of fall in my mind (even if the calendar doesn't agree with me). I hear "September" and I think "fall". Doesn't sound like a summer month to me. And then, there's harvest...
I spent the last week on the farm. It was nice to see Jay again. Harvest isn't quite in full-swing yet, but they're still pretty busy with it all. It was nice to work in Drum again with Laura, ti was incredibly busy there too. But, I'm back in Edmonton again and waiting for the arrival of my husband. I've finally forced myself to give him a whole shelf and a lot of closet space to move his clothes to. I've spent the last couple of days going to The Bay and completing some of our registry. We almost have all of our dishes, thanks to all of the gift cards that we got at our wedding! They're having a big sale today, so back again I go. We're also going to get memberships to the YMCA and plan to be having a more active and healthy lifestyle. I plan to do lots of swimming!
Anyways, lots of shopping to do!

Hey we're back up and running! When we moved Jay's stuff over to my condo in the spring before the wedding, I had it so nicely set up on my old computer that this site would remember my username and password automatically...unfortunately my brain did no such thing when I tried to login with Jay's computer!
So anyways, here I am in Edmonton while Jay's on a combine back home at the farm and we are 48 days married. The time has absolutely flown by and it hardly feels like we had a summer. Yes, we did have a beautiful honeymoon in Maui, but our "Canadian" summer just flew by and we only got out on the boat like 3 times!!
In that 48 days we spent 10 of them in Maui, and I lived on the farm with Jay for about 4 1/2 weeks. I had to come back to Edmonton to work some shifts in the OR and to the condo ready for the husband to move in. I had to make at least a liiiiiiiitle room in my big closet for him! A drawer thought?? I'm just not sure! My 4 1/2 weeks on the farm wasn't just me lazing around, I started working casually at Drumheller on acute care and also training in emergency. I absolutely loved it there and look very forward to working there more. Laura and Craig also got married on August 4th and it was a beautiful wedding.
I think that about brings us up to speed...thanks for stopping by!
Love,
Sarah Schultz!
