Trickling Tuesday

Our light dusting of snow is melting all over the place today, and water is EVERYWHERE. Everyone went from complaining about the snow to playing in the mud!

We are back to rearranging stuff at our house, and we helped my folks do some rearranging over the weekend as well. I just feel the need to get organized, I guess. There are always those tasks that you know need done, but just never make it a priority, and over time, that tends to stress me out. So we're just biting those off one task at a time, and it feels good!! And we will get to show off all our hard work at our Halloween party, too. YAY!

Haley is finishing up her current fundraiser for the Washington DC trip (going in 2012), so if any of you are interested in purchasing tubs of cookie dough, let me know. These come in plastic tubs that yield 96 half-ounce cookies; they will keep 6 months in the freezer, 3 months in the fridge. Super good -- super easy. Prices are $10-$11 per tub, depending on the flavor(s) you choose. Call me or email me, leave me a comment, (whatever works for you) and I'll get ya fixed up.

As of 8:30 last night, we are done facilitating Financial Peace University classes, too. We had taken the FPU course a couple years ago, and were asked by the church as a graduate to go back and facilitate 5 sessions for current enrollees. We'd spoken in church about our experience with the program, and visited with many folks about our successes thanks to the program. Watching the videos again has been a really nice refresher, and helped us re-assess our goals. If you'd like more information, you can click on the picture above, and it will take you to the website!

So anyways, now we're down to only Wednesday nights away from home. It's getting better!!

I'm hoping the weather gets nicer for a week or two more, also, since we STILL need to get rid of some stuff via another garage sale. I guess if it comes down to it, we may have to rent the 4-H building or something and have it there. We'll see! There's always work to do, it seems!

One more thing: I have to share our bowling shirt funnies with you --

Chadron Concrete is sponsoring our team, called "Priceless" ... so our shirts will say...

Bowling shoes... $1.00

Beer... $2.00

Balls of Cement.... PRICELESS!

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...
