Back to the trip - I HIGHLY recommend visiting if you haven't been! The island is a secret garden - mostly preserve land, there is no building permitted on the majority of 19 square miles of tropical jungle. DH ("dear husband") and I took every road on the map - and some off! We rented a jeep for the week and spent a lot of time exploring. The photo above was taken at the top of Peace Hill, one of the ruined Sugar Mills on the island. I think I was, hands down, the palest person in all of St. John!
We loved driving on the left, on roads that were more like roller coasters. Mostly we relaxed, made no plans, chased around lizards and sat on white beaches with azure water. It was heavenly. Ok, it wasn't perfect, I was miserable the first couple of days when I realized I don't care for either sun or heat - but your body gets used to it :) The bugs also loved me, so I wore "au de OFF" every day, along with SPF 50!
Amazingly, almost everyone we met was from New England! Apparently St. John is known as "Boston South." DH and I definitely started getting ideas of pulling up stakes and moving ourselves! But, it was back to reality!
So, for the next week or so, I'd like to wrap my blog up by rewinding a bit - going over some projects that I completed the week of the wedding and didn't have time to post, breaking down the wedding to show you all the projects in action, posting some more photos of wedding events, etc. I'm still here - not sure if I still have an audience out there - but if you're still on board, stay tuned!

I am still on board and I think you need to stay with the blog - just rename it Wicked Wife! You and Mike are always doing project and interesting things. Or maybe we could turn it into some kind of "project book" - it might be time for you to get an agent! I love this blog and your sharing...you have a lot of followers that just don't post comments.
I just found your blog so you can't go away and I love the idea name Wicked Wife!
Not a regular blogger so I'm not sure this will post. We are so pleased that you shared your talents and hard work by putting together such a memorable wedding day. Thank you for making us feel so special. Still in awe over the entire week in Boston. Lots of love from sunny Florida.
