Hi Again!

Wow, it sure has been a while since I have written last.  Thanks Ash for reminding me I have a blog and haven't written on it for a while!  Let's see, what is new in our lives?  The Schultz's remain crazy as ever preparing for the holidays, Jake and Jordyn's 3rd birthdays, and preparing for our next adventure.  Yes, that is right, another adventure.  We are going back to Japan!  We are leaving in February.  Mike will leave a couple of weeks before the kids and I, but we will follow soon after.  We are excited about the opportunity again, but are sad to leave all our friends and family again.  I think it will be a bit easier this time around because I know what to expect as far as the town and our lifestyle, so I can be more prepared with what I bring.  We are lucky enough to be in our same apartment and the kids will be going back to their same school.  It sure has been a long year, but we have been very blessed. 

Other than that, we have been busy hanging out together and traveling around.  Mike and I just got back from our Anniversary trip to Jamaica and it was a blast.  We are going to San Diego in the next couple of weeks to visit Mike's sister, Kristy, and we are going to Vegas the week after Thanksgiving with our friends, Amy and Scott.  Mike is busy relaxing and getting ready to start working out and prepare for the season.  He is thoroughly enjoying watching and going to the Lakers games and is pretty satisfied if that is what his offseason consists of.  

Jake and Jordyn are doing great!  We really are so lucky to have the two of them as our children.  We receive compliments constantly on their great behavior and we just feel so happy and proud.  We will be celebrating their 3rd birthday at Chuck E Cheeses this year.  Woo hoo!  No clean up for mom this year.  They love their school and are enjoying making all new friends.  Too bad we will have to say goodbye to them soon.  Oh well, they are really looking forward to seeing their other friends in Japan.  

As for me, I have been busy taking care of the brood.  It is really nice to actually have time to hang out with my husband for a whole day without any baseball games involved.  We have been doing a lot with the kids and with our families, since February will be right around the corner.  That's about it in our lives.  We truly hope we have the time to see everyone and spend some quality time before we jet off to the other side of the world again.  Take care!
