Spring is Definitly Here

Spring is here and going by to quickly. Gilly the Gator is back! Everyday he is out sunning himself in our backyard. I would get closer but I am a chicken

Spring is the big time for special events for the Island Recreation Association, where I work. Wingfest is the start where 17 different local Hilton Head restaurants cook up their best chicken wings. It is a fun but very long day. Then came Heritage where Stuart worked many hours to make the course look the best it has ever been. Of course the other guys helped too. I worked our food booth on hole 15 of Harbour Town. If you didn't know the Heritage lets non-profits run the food booths on the course and all the profits go to that charity. The next weekend we held the Hilton Head Seafood Fest. It was the first year and went great! We had 13 different restaurants and an Iron Chef competition.

By this time our house looks like a mess, we have no food, and a pile of laundry you would not believe. Though, we still make time for a little fun. Stuart's friend Old buddy Ben set up a slow pitch softball game. Stuart's team had many strong athletic men who did not have a clue to the rules of softball. The opposing team were young boys who live, breath, and eat baseball. It was a very fun game to watch. I was the official score keeper. The other team won 17-10 but Stuart's team sure held their own. All in all it has been a good spring and we are looking forward to the summer!

It's beena long time

Well life is the same in the Calvert house. We are happy and also busy. A lot has happened since New Years.


First, we celebrated Australia Day by traveling to Jacksonville, Florida to watch the Rabbitohs play some England team in the rugby. 30 of us boarded a bus early in the morning with drinks flowing, of course, to get there. When we got there it was rainy and cloud covered but it didn't






stop us from having a good time. Though, I smartly left my camera on the bus. I am stilling waiting to get the pictures from the friends who had cameras. But we were under a tent, got free catering from Outback Steak House, and all the free beer we could drink. So, how could we complain. I didn't really understand the game itself but it was fun to watch. England won. After the game we boarded the bus and went to the rugby after party. The teams after showering and changing came to celebrate. All in all, it was a awesome trip to be repeated next year!















Not much happened in February. We had a lovely Valentine's Day where we spend way to much for not enough food at some fancy restaurant. Love was in the air!


My parents came the first week in March. It was really good to see them again. We played a lot of cards and caught up on each others lives. We went shopping and they got to relax. They stayed at a villa in Shipyard plantation where we Barbecued and hung out. We also went out enjoying the Jazz Conner, Marley's Island Bar and grill, and the British Open Pub. Can't wait to see you again and we miss you.


Next came St. Patricks Day! Which is a hugh celebration held the Sunday before St. Pat's Day on the Island. Also, an event I forgot my camera. I must get better at that. We hung out at Wing's all day enjoying the bands and watching the parade go by. The coolest part is when the Air force Jets flew, it felt like, right over our heads. Stuart and I were good and got home by 8:30pm to get a good night rest for going back to work on Monday.


The next big thing is Haritage golf. I will have pictures of and promise to blog ASAP!

New Year

Happy New Year!

Stuart and I went to the Condame family house to bring in the New Year. We played Pictionary, which everyone at first grumbled about, then one by one they all joined in the fun. I should have taken a photo of all the food. Lol....and of course I had to have it all. They also had a fireplace going in the backyard that made it cozy to sit outside. Hope everyone had a great New Year.

Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each new year find you a better man. ~Benjamin Franklin

Honeymoon

So it has taken me this long to get the Honeymoon pictures uploaded. It was an amazing trip! The cruise was fantastic (Thank you Dad) even though it was freezing cold inside the ship and then the sewage got backed up. LOL...not that it spoiled are great time. We went snorkeling, rode on mud buggies, and just enjoyed the beautiful sights. I recommend visiting Hawaii to everyone. I really loved the Big Island it felt very islandy. I wish everyone could have been there, we missed you, plus we also needed your help at the trivia we played during happy hour each night before dinner.

Congratulations again Brian for wining the King Elvis Title.

Wedding Celebration

As most know, Stuart and I were married on May 12, 2006, but we couldn't ask for a better day to celebrate our wedding on August 30, 2007. Thank you to our family and friends who came and made our day special. It was a lot of fun and we hope you enjoy the pictures.
