People have different goals.  Some might want to play the guitar.  Others, maybe to run a marathon, or save up to by that dream house.  One of my goals is rather simple, Host a Pig Roast.  I have always enjoyed grilling, but now that we are back from New York, I wanted to take it to the next level and roast a pig, and I am going after it this weekend.

My wife is eight months pregnant, so I have accused her of being in the “nesting” phase for the baby.  As it turns out, I came to the realization that I have been nesting for the past two months for the arrival of the pig for the party.  Unfortunately, we have a lot of similarities.

She bought a crib for the baby’s arrival
I built a BBQ pit for the arrival of the swine.

She ordered a new stroller, car seat, etc.
I purchased 250 lbs of charcoal, some smoking wood, etc.

I’ll stop with the parallels as it is beginning to get disturbing.

The festivities begin for the boys tomorrow night.  We are going to play some cards and start prepping the beast at midnight, and putting him on the fire at 3 am.  The real party begins Saturday at 3:00 pm with wives and children.  We picked a great weekend as Saturday the weather calls for wind and snow.

The best part of it, is that I couldn’t care less about the weather, and I’m sure we will mess it up somehow, but nothing beats having a good time with friends and family.  I will post some pictures next week, and hopefully it will be a success!
