The "BIG GAME" coming soon.





On January 3rd Juan Diego Girls Basketball team will be playing against their rivals Judge Memorial. This game will be held at Judge Memorial's gym. The varsity girls will play at 6:00 pm. This year our girls have been working hard and have come a long way with Coach McKray. This is the coaches 2nd year with the girls and she is doing an awesome job. I think this year we have a great chance at winning against Judge. BRING IT ON !!!

Liebmann Chistmas Dinner


December 20

Tonight we had the annual dinner with Roger's family. It was very nice. It was even better because Oma was able to be there. She has had a rough few months and at one point I think all of us thought she wouldn't make it another day. It's always nice being with family and sharing laughs, gifts and good food. I hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday season. Merry Christmas!

2008 OSG holiday luncheon


Today we had our holiday luncheon at work. It turned out pretty nice. The decorations were awesome and everybody remembered to bring the food item they signed up for. Everybody was in a Christmas mood. We played BINGO and exchanged "white elephant" gifts. That's always fun.

Yummy Christmas Goodies


December 20, 2008


Today my mom and I baked some very yummy goodies. We made peanut brittle, fudge, chocolate cupcakes that have cream cheese filling, white cupcakes with crushed pepperint candy and topped with a cherry, chocolate truffles sprinkled with cocoa or powdered sugar or nuts, and chocolate chip cookies (with and without walnuts). I had been participating in a "no sweets or treats" thing at work since 10/31 and did really good. I even lost 5+ pounds. Today I caved!! I had 2 chocolate chip cookies. They were sooo good and warm right out of the oven.

The love of my life.


This pic was taken Dec 14, 2008 up by Brighton. My friend Andrea bought herself a new camera and took this picture of Roger and I. It didn't turn out so bad. It was such a beautiful day. I want to get more and more pictures taken with Roger and I. My other friend Tracy is going to take my family pictures for me soon and and I can't wait. I think the last time I had a picture of my kids together was at least 6 years ago. That's way too long!

2008 Simplex Grinnell Holiday Party


This year the company party was at "Cafe Trio". This was a nice evening out. We had assigned seating which made it interesting. I had the baked penne which was very tasty and Roger had chicken with rice and vegetables. I also had a drink I had never tried before. It was a Rosemary Mojito. YUM. Merry Christmas everybody.

Officially Winter







Today my husband and I went with my friend Andrea up to take some pics of the mountains and the fresh snow that came down yesterday. It was so beautiful and not very cold either. She has also talked us into going with her after the new year to snow shoe. I can't wait! I've never been snow shoing, but I'm actually excited.
