Rainy day activities...

We got one wall of the concrete plant painted yesterday, and had to reassemble everything, because Dad didn't want a mess for the guests that come eat with us on Thursdays. He even put the trim up around the windows, too, so that looks nice! If all goes well, this afternoon, we'll paint the opposite wall, and maybe finish the rest tomorrow. Not a lot of concrete going anywhere -- it's warm enough, but too wet! So the crew is playing mechanics and janitors, and might do a little work in the block plant. Rainy days are a really good time to get some little things caught up!

Mom and Dad Leibbrandt gave us their basketball hoop from the plant to place at our house. We took it home, set it up, and the kids were playing as long as we'd let them. It really cooled off in the early evening, and the wind came up. We're supposed to have rain all day, and then around midnight, it's supposed to start snowing! And rain all day Saturday, too!

Sunday will be a nice day, tho. Sounds like we're supposed to be around 60 degrees again! YAY!

We have a couple coming to look at our white pickup either tonight or tomorrow -- please pray that they buy it -- we've got places for that money to go -- and one place is our upcoming trip to Vegas...! YAY!

Lots of good things going on -- hope you have the same. We're grateful for the moisture -- we really need to get our grass going in our yard!!

Have a good Thursday, and enjoy your time inside!

Come to the Arts Center this coming Sunday at 3pm and listen to Shelby and her TrebleMakers Community Choir (as well as the adult Community Choir). It will be fantastic! We'd love to see you there -- call us and let us know you're coming and we'll save you a seat -- they go quickly!

TTYL!

Really not much going on here today. I've been studying like a mad man, it's cold here, kids are busy, same old same old. I did find out yesterday my Aunt Marlene (Mom's sister) has non-Hodgkins lymphoma. She is doing some chemo treatments in the next couple weeks, and we'll see where it goes from there -- please keep her in your prayers. I also need prayers for my friends still struggling financially. Times are tough, and we all have to make sacrifices we typically wouldn't, but hang in there -- it will all be worth it in the end. One resource I can recommend on money expertise is DaveRamsey.com -- he's the guy responsible for the Financial Peace University that Jason and I took a couple of years ago. We wouldn't be where we are today if we hadn't taken advantage of that valuable resource. There is a link on the right side of my blog to his website -- check it out. I'd also be willing to talk to you about his information, too. Let me know! ...

Christmas Lists

I finally took a few moments and got the Christmas lists posted for our family!  I find it hard to believe we are at this point in the year already.  This has been a crazy year, full of roller-coaster emotions, such busy times, a few slow times, losses for some, gains for many, but it has been another year passed nonetheless. This year, we've seen many changes, and with each change, we learn a little bit more about who we are and what we're capable of. I'm going into this holiday season with a warm heart, and I hope you will too.  God has great things in store for all of us, and I can't wait to see each morning what He's prepared for me. Happy Holidays! Side note about the lists -- This is verbatim what the kids had on their lists, and I did not split the list between any of the family, so plan accordingly.  We won't be concerned about duplicates, as we enjoy shopping for ANY reason.  We're grateful for the thought you put into each gift, and are tha...

   This past weekend, we traveled to Deadwood with my “work family”, and had a great time. Some of the guys went golfing up near Sturgis (Boulder Canyon) during the morning, but most of us ladies had spent the morning checking out the sales in the citywide garage sales. We started off the trip by meeting together at the office and “caravan-ing” the ladies to the Prairie Berry Winery. With Jason’s back being injured recently, he wasn’t up for golf, so he decided to be our “DD”…          I had never been to a wine tasting, nor a winery, and never had been to Prairie Berry.  It snowed on us on the way up (see photo at right). What an enjoyable experience it was! We were allowed to try up to five wines, (only a half an ounce each), so I tried a variety, albeit most of them were the sweet wines. I am just not a fan of dry or bitter wines. I ended up purchasing some of their infamous “Red Ass Rhubarb” and some “Calamity Jan...
