Projects galore...

Well this weekend was not unlike any other weekend.  We really wanted to go camping, but things were filled up early in the week;  we thought maybe we'd go fishing before the weekend was done, but we just had so much fun working on projects around the house that we're just going to have to go camping next weekend! 

We cleared some new areas in the backyard for concrete, re-tilled the garden, planted a strawberry crop in a special planter made by Jason, edged the rest of the garden, mowed everything, cleared a TON of weeds, hauled off the swimming tank (although it did bring back memories of swimming in the horse tank with my cousins when we were little), and just cleaned things up.  You know, that spring/summer thing we always put off, and when we finally get around to it, it looks AMAZING?!?!?!?  Yeah.  That's what we did!



I figure when it gets hotter this summer, we'll return to the indoor projects, but for now, it is SO nice to be outside!!!!!!!!!

Well, back to the agenda for the day!!  Hope you all have a great day and a super week!

God is GOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!  :D

We haven't went camping yet either, Justin's crazy hours are to blame of course. Don't work to hard, and remember to wear sunscreen ;)

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...
