ABC party and Tide Pools

The beginning of May seemed to be packed. First we said goodbye to our bud Frank, but not before he threw one last party : ABC Party (Anything but clothes). The costumes were out there that is for sure and we all had a great time. A few weeks later it was time to say goodbye to one of my best island friends Jenny, although we never thought she'd actually leave. She was flying standby and it took the poor girl three tries to get off this rock! One Saturday I was also fortunate enough to go to the Tide Pools with Daniel and Kyle. we climbed, we swam, we jumped, I fell (typical), and of course we mudded in the jeep on the way back and stopped to get Kyle some food, go figure.

Hovensa Boys : Please note Daniel started off with no costume, then went to clothes with box, clothes with box with tie, box with tie with undershirt, then box tie sans undershirt. all of this was parallel to how empty the Jack Daniels got, coincidentally :)

Jenny's going away dinner : take one :)

April Showers bring.... MORE VISITORS!

In April, Daniel's cousin Michelle and 4 of her teacher friends came to St. Croix for their Spring Break. We had such a blast getting to know all of the girls and having them here. The first night they were here we went to disco and another night we drug them to a white trash bash at our friend's place. Poor girls being subjected to that. The last night we spent at where else, the Brew Pub.The girls before disco Top (L-R) Stephanie, Anna, Lindsey (Darbs), me, Megan

March- Jobs, parades and visitors!

March was a big month around here. I started a job as a nanny for a family just up the street. When I started the oldest was four years old and the baby was not quite three months old. Right after I started I took a week off because we had a gang of visitors come in town. Mom, Dad, Mr. & Mrs. Nicholson, Amy, Jana, Mary Kay and Lois & Paul all came down. We had such an awesome time with them and tried to get in as much as we could. There was golfing for some, Hotel on the Cay bar-b-que for all, snorkeling at Buck Island and lots of relaxation. There was even a vendor from Daniel's work who took the group (minus the Nicholson gang who had already headed home) our to Savant for an excellent dinner. The day that everyone flew down was the St. Patricks Day Parade which is always a blast. If you've never been to St. Croix, that is the time to go!
