Last weekend we celebrated the gradution of our second neice, Emily. Most people are shocked when they hear we have neices old enough to be graduating or graduated from high school, but we do. Emily's graduation was very special! The last year Chad and I have grown very close to Emily and I feel lucky enough to also call her my friend. Friday night, after graduation, we stayed for awhile to help Chad's sister, Renee, and her husband, Clay, get 10 briskets ready to put on the cooker for the next day's bar-b-que. I would guess each of these brisket's weighed 10 pounds. It looked like we had portions of a dead body cut up in tin roasting pans at the dinner table. At midnight Chad and Clay made a run to Wal-Mart. It was not until the next day that we realized they must have looked fairly suspicious purchasing an axe, rubber gloves, and a case of Coors Light.
We are planning a trip to Rockport, on the Texas coast for next week to celebrate our 5th Anniversary. Guess that will be our next post!
