Cinco de Mayo....Another Excuse for a Party!

So after the Holiday Season of 2007, the party scene had slowed down a bit...now that Spring is almost over, Summer is all but upon us. With Summer, comes Memorial Day weekend, 4th of July, our 2nd Anniversary (can you believe it's been that long already?), my Birthday, and a plethora of other excuses to have a party. So to kick off the season, my XO and his wife, Maritza (in this pic with Rich and I) took one for the team, and threw a Cinco de Mayo party!

I grabbed Cicely for this photo-op; a Corona in one hand and a beautiful woman in the other - what else does a man need? ;o)






Here's Rich and I with our boss, Eric. Please forgive him, he's a Naval Academy grad and a computer geek all rolled into one - fortunately, his wife is cool and his kids are great, so they balance him out!




Here is Cicely and a lot of her friends from the wives' club.





Throughout the party, we congregated in various groups all over the apartment; for some reason, the kitchen was really popular - probably because that's where the margarita blender was. I don't remember what we were all laughing at in this particular picture - it may have been XO's pink shirt, but since he's laughing too, that's prbably not it. More then likely, we were making fun of someone at work...it's always a goal to not talk about work when we get together on a social basis, but it inevitably comes up. Work is, afterall, what we all have in common - we are a Wardroom of Naval Officers; the comraderie is why I love the Navy. Regardless of the topic of conversation, when the drinks are flowing, and you're among friends, that's all that matters!
