Event: "We've Been Here a Year" party

My wife and I decided to have a little open house/bbq to celebrate with some people who helped make our first year here so great. We started yesterday around 6pm or so, and everyone that came basically showed up by 6:30 or 7pm. Our place is small, so we have to use the outdoor patio. At 5pm, it was still really hot with no breeze. Luckily, by the time people were arriving, the temperature dropped significantly and the wind kicked in. I grilled hotdogs for about 45 minutes straight. There were two really good potato salads that others brought, chips and salsa, veggies, cheese trays, beer, margaritas and good times. It was really cool to see all those people here together. Sometimes you don't realize how big your personal community is until you see a number of them all in one place. We'll be having another one of these, and maybe we won't wait until next year.
