1st place in Pie Contest----Best Over All. Can you believe it?? I know! If you missed a previous blog post --- he also won 1st place in the Chili Cook-off a few months back. I tried my best but I couldn't pull it off. I got 1st place in my "category" which I don't even think they got me in the right category.... but whatever. I still got a certificate. But Sam got the glory. :) The thing about Sam is -- he has the most confidence of anyone I've ever met. He never doubts himself and he frankly doesn't care what other people are doing or what they are thinking-- he does his own thing. He had the confidence that he can win these things -- and he DOES!!! It's crazy ..... it's almost as if the judges can taste his confidence in his food and that is why they vote for it. Sam does great at everything he does, it's almost sickening :) --- kinda frustrating to be married to someone who does just about everything better than you. BUT I do not pitty myself -- I am lucky to have such an accomplished husband. :) :)
***Side note:: Sam worked most of the day of the contest so when he got home he had to throw it together super fast, then when it was almost done and time for us to go --- the outside faucet broke off of our house and water was spraying everywhere and flooding our backyard. He had to find the water source and turn the water off, plus call someone to try to fix it (which we are still waiting on).... with all of this craziness -- he still managed to win. That must have been some good pie. (but we wouldn't know because it was all gone before we even had a chance to try it)
Sam and his "proud face" with his winners certificate........
me with my certificate........... by the way ---- his score was 24, my score was 23...... so close
YAY FOR SAM!!!! :)

I love the picture with the 'AWARD'. That's great. Now I've got to dig mine out!
I was lucky enough to taste BOTH of your pies, (I got the judges leftover samples) and they were BOTH delicious.
GOOD WORK! Our WARD is lucky to have the WARDS.
Congratulations to you both!! I too did not have a chance to eat ANY of the pies. I was not very happy that I missed out on them. (I was too busy pouting that my service went for only $20). We saw you at McDonalds afterwards. We were getting dessert (since we did not have pie) and you were getting a movie. Did you try to win the hour of free plumbing? Sounds like you need it!
Good job Sam, now go cut your hair.
april do you remember when you used to say you couldn't cook anything? you've made some impressive progress - wish i could taste that pie!
Way to go both Sam and April!
April, what you said about Sam, that is how I feel about Robb. He has WAY more confidence than I, and he wins a lot (though he didn't win the chili contest this year, so I can't say he has won as much as Sam)
Wow such accomplished bakers, the both of you!!! I've gotta know what kind of pie was it???
