Terrific Thursday

Well, even though we were up half the night, we're still in one piece. Mom and Dad had some ping pong ball sized hail at their house, and had called us to tell us it was headed our way. We had everything we could inside the garage, and thankfully didn't even get any of the hail. Just really high winds, heavy rain, and TONS of lightning and thunder. It was almost non-stop lightning.

But this morning, we cleaned up branches and picked up debris from everywhere. We had a branch break out of one of our trees, and was flung into our window, but thankfully, no broken window!

I guess we are in for it today again with the weather, as well. We've had a number of storm chasers staying in town, and that really makes me feel like there are vultures circling, just waiting...

Hopefully we come out on the winning end of the weather today...

I hope everybody came out as unscathed as we did...

However, I am SOOO tired today. I keep an eye on the weather alot, and I spent most of the night watching the radar on the computer and listening to my NOAA radio.

We've been busy with softball and tee ball (Spence tells me he DOESNT play baseball, it's tee ball). All three kiddos are involved this year, so we are running like mad. There is also a possibility that Haley will get to play on a tournament team, traveling to the Bluffs this weekend. We will see how it all shakes out.

Enjoy your weekend, and get out and enjoy the sunshine...Let's GO CAMPING!

The weather is so scary these days, glad that all was safe for your family but I too am staying up half the night watching the weather. Can't believe tomorrow is to be so cool. Have a great COOL weekend. Stay dry. P.S. Did you cabbage photos off my blog or do I need to email (the dance recital)? If so I need an email address.

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...
