A rave...

Several of you read my rant that I posted a few weeks ago....  Well, now it's time for a rave!

As you all know I like to keep the boy to myself.  A lot of you don't even know his first name, and I'm not gonna lie, I like it like that.  :)  But every few months I do have to brag about him... 

In the process of moving/decorating our house a new kitchen table was on the NEED list.  When we lived in the apartment we had a little 4 person table, and it worked just fine for the space we had.  Now, we have a bigger space and so we need a bigger table.  :)  In 2012, we have been using plastic tables because of all of our parties, and I just didn't want to move them out to the garage and back in the house every few weeks.  Finally, I decided we were going to get a table, and that I was going to make it.  (I am sure my family said "yeah right!" when they read that! haha)  Anyways, I found the table I wanted and showed it to Baehr and he said "Oh yeah!  We can do that!"  And so HE did!  



It took a little over two weekends to get it finish.  That of course was with football and food breaks, but here is the final product!  :)  I LOVE it.... 






There is a bench to match that will be coming very soon.  YAHOO!  Don't you just love it?

I have to say...I married a pretty crafty and AWESOME guy!  :)  So you better come visit so  you can enjoy our new (non plastic) table!  See you soon!

My last 15 days...

Phew!  It's been a good 15 days since I have last posted so I better get with it!  :)  

The last two weeks have been crazy.  I was wearing Xtreme purple on a Friday and wore Skyline blue on a Monday.  I hit the ground running and was working on big projects in a matter of hours.  Baehr and I had family dinners and a Texans game.  I headed to Round Rock for CAL's Soccer Fun Day, came home just in time to get ready for Skyline's Carnival for a Cause, and in the last 3 days Baehr has decided to come down with a cold/flu/sinus infection.  It's been CRAZY but good (minus the sick boy part) 15 days.  

Over the last two weeks I have been trying to regroup and refocus.  Catch up and get in a NEW (blue) groove.  I have been trying to remember to send thank you's up as often as possible for these awesome opportunities and am trying to focus on the little things that are HUGE things that I didn't even realize were possible.  

(Does that make sense?  It did in my head!  haha)

I have spoken to several people over the last few days about why I left or how I am doing.  The more I talk about it the more I think that God has given me more than just a job here.  I'm not quite sure what it is, but I know that there is more coming.  I'm excited...I am excited to know what the future holds, but I am also trying to tell myself to enjoy the present.  For the last few months I have completely trusted in God's timing, and I need to keep myself in that place.  Trusting that there IS more to come, but it will come in His time, not mine.  Patience... not my strongest point.  :)

Anyways, all of that to say I am happy and THANKFUL.  Now, I have to go get ready for the Texans vs. Green Bay game so off I go!  Have a wonderful Sunday, and I promise to post again SOON!  


For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
