Simply beautiful!

WOW! We had a busy day yesterday, but we found out that Grandpa Clay's chest x-ray came back clear. Good news! He's been able to eat a bit in the past few days and keep it down, thanks to an adjustment in his medication. Things are lookin up!

Grandma Leibbrandt is moved into the nursing home again... and plans on being there for a while. Her phone and mail will be forwarded to her at the new place for the time being. She's doing ok, but we sure wish we could be closer to help keep an eye on things for her. It is hard being tied up with work, but I think Mom and Dad might sneak away and spend some time with her over the weekend. Hopefully she will be feeling better soon, and will get to go back home soon!!

We got started on our sidewalk project last night, later than we'd hoped, but got a good start. We'll hopefully get most of the forms put in today so we can pour concrete tomorrow, and be done by the weekend, since it sounds like we could be getting some rain!

Uncle Ron (from Minnesota) is also in town, and his son Ryan and grandson Sam are headed here today to set up camp for turkey hunting. They come in every year for it, and seem to do really well, and it's a good time for all to get together, too! We spent a little time at Uncle Dennis' house visiting with them last night, and finally went to pick up the kids from Grandpas about 10pm.

We're back in the swing of things here at work today -- the golf course is doing some landscaping and we've delivered a couple semi loads of block to them for that project. It should look really nice when they're done. And it's Thursday, so the big crew dinner is today... I can smell Mom's chocolate cake, and it's just not fair. I want to eat the whole thing...!

Shelby has a soccer game at 6:30 tonight, so come on over if you're out and about. They only take about an hour, and she made the only goal during the last game, and I MISSED IT! I was signing our girls up for softball, and MISSED IT! Anyways, come on out and watch -- bring a chair or two!

Hope to see you there! Have a great day!

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...
