6 year Anniversary

Bob and I celebrated our 6th anniversary today and I wanted to blog about our anniversary because we couldn't remember exactly how we spent our first 5 anniversaries and I knew if I blogged about it, we could look back at the previous anniversary posts.

Bob was sweet enough to take Friday AND Sunday as vacations days so that we would have the entire weekend together. We planned to scrape the popcorn off our ceilings so that we could have a knock down ceiling. We also planned to head up north and ride a new bike trail, however we didn't do either of those things due to lots of rain and laziness:). Instead we spent the morning at the City Market, then to see Ashley and Nathan's new house, a lazy afternoon and dinner at Brio (after deciding not to go to the Record Bar because the cover charge was $7.00-we are so cheap).

Bob and I talked a lot today about how we can't believe that the longer we are married the better our life together has become. I never imagined that a marriage got better over time, mostly because both of our parents are divorced and their marriages obviously didn't get better over time. We are fortunate to have found one another.

Belton BBQ Contet

Donkey Punch BBQ had their first contest of the season! The brisket placed 4th and altogether the team placed 19 out of 33 teams. The Friday night before they start cooking the meat it has become tradition for friends and family to come and taste the BBQ, have some drinks and relax. The pictures posted below are of the Friday night. I also included pictures of some of the meat they turned in.

We are also pretty certain that Donkey Punch BBQ Team won't be on TLC's realty TV show BBQ Pit Masters. After a few calls from the producers and lots of time spent making hilarious audition tapes it seems they haven't been chosen. Maybe next year?
