Day 6 and 7...

So much for being 7 days of thankful!  haha!  It has taken me 17 days to get through my 7 days.  I need to get on it! 

Day 6:  I am thankful for my husband.  I honestly don't know how I got so lucky... a lot of help from the man upstairs I guess.  He deals with my craziness and my random ideas.  He puts up with all my parties and all the people and mess that come with them.  He loves me...for just me.  My good days, my bad days, and all that's in between....he loves me and I love him and I am thankful that life is good and we are blessed.  :)

Day 7:  I am thankful for my family.  Not just my mom, my dad, my sister, and my Cal, but ALL my family.  The blood and the not blood.  2012 has been such a great year.  Some have come and some have gone, but tonight, I realized, family isn't just the people you are related to, it's the people who care enough to act like family despite no relation.  I am thankful for those people... they, quite honestly, are sometimes better than real blood related family.   :)

Day 3...Day 4....Day 5....Thankful!

Day 3:  I am thankful for relaxing days on the couch.  When I have nothing to do and can just enjoy some time with the boy watching football.  I am also very thankful that Alabama beat LSU on my lazy day!  :)

Day 4:  I am thankful that my parents are still married.  We sat next to a family at the Texan's game yesterday and the parents clearly disliked one another, and it seemed disliked their children.  There was a lot of snatching, gritting of teeth, and ignoring.  It wasn't pleasant.  At one point one of the kids said "Can I move?  I don't want to sit next to dad anymore."  It was uncomfortable and made me very thankful that I have the parents I do.

Day 5:  I am thankful for my new job, the new people that I work with, and the fact that the Lord surrounds them throughout their daily life.  I like it. I like it a lot.  :)

 Until tomorrow...have a great Monday night!  :) 

Day 2 of Being Thankful...

Day 2 of being thankful.  I am thankful for all the people who leave their friends and families to protect our America.  The military and people like Chris Stadler.  Chris gives his life unselfishly to protect our freedoms on a daily basis.  He just recently got orders to go to Afghanistan just after his wife found out she was pregnant with their second child.  He knows better than the rest of us what "freedom" actually means, and does not take for granted the gifts we have been given here in America.

Thank you Chris  for your service.  Thank you to your family who serves beside you.  Your sacrifices do not go unnoticed.

Friends and Family, I ask that you pray for Chris and his family as they face the challenge of being apart for the next year.  Lift him up in your daily prayers and bring him home safely to his family.

Psalm 5:11
But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you. 

Good night all!  Be thankful for all you have!  We are truly blessed!  Love from The Baehr Block.

7 Days of Thankful....

Last year my sister challenged me to 7 days of being thankful, and this year she is doing the same... I decided I would start on November 1.  That's as good of a time as any... right?  RIGHT!  :)

Day 1 of being THANKFUL...

I am thankful for my friends.  To be specific to today, I am thankful for people like Luis Gomez. He goes out of his way to think of me, send me a text, call, or just help.  He has been one of my greatest blessings from Xtreme Volleyball and I am so thankful to have him in my life. 

That's Luis in the front...haha!

Psalms 128:2

You will eat the fruit of your labor;
blessings and prosperity will be yours.

 

Thank you Luis... for all you have done, for all you will do, and for everything you do for Xtreme.  You are a one of a kind and The Baehr Block LOVES you!  :)
