ReThink Life...

A few days ago I decided to get back to my devotionals.  I have really put this on the back burner for the last few months, and I am veering....well, the devil is pulling me off my path again.

I have found that since I found the path I want to be on earlier this year, I am much more aware of when I get off the path.  So...back to the path I go with the ReThink Life Devotional on YouVersion.

Day 1 had a prayer at the end of it...



I shared this with my mom and sister, but due to recent events, thought you should have it as well.  Stay on the path my friends, and remember that this world is not our home....we are just passing through.

From PC to the USA...

And we're back!  :)  I cannot say enough about this trip.  It was the longest most relaxing trip since our honeymoon, and if Baehr asked me to turn around tomorrow and do it again, I would.  We were not ready to leave the beach this morning, but there is something to be said for home, your bed, and knowing you can go see your mom anytime you want.  So we are on our last leg, Miami to Houston.

We spent the last 8 days here...


Laying out, eating, laying out some more, and eating some more.  The perfect vacation!  The weather was great, and the food was endless.  Thank you All Inclusive.  :)  The hotel we stayed at was HUGE and had shows every night at their indoor / outdoor theatre.  We only watched one....Michael Jackson!


I was not too sure what it was going to be like since not a single person besides us spoke English, but it was really pretty good.  They did all of his hits (lip synced of course) and Baehr said it was really Michael Jackson not an impersonator.  Too much sun for him I think.  :)



To keep it short and sweet, we had a wonderful time to celebrate our wonderful 3 years of being married.  I couldn't imagine spending these 8 days or 1095 days with anyone else in the whole world. 

We are loving life on The Baehr Block and we hope you are too!

A Meaningful Christmas...

While we were on our trip I was thinking about Christmas.  It's weird to hear Christmas music all over the resort when you are laying on the beach, soaking up the sun, but I still have presents to get so my mind was trying to tell my body to think CHRISTMAS!  17 days to go...better get on Amazon!  haha  Anyways, in thinking about Christmas I kept thinking about the awesome project my cousin did with 23 of her friends this year.  I am really trying to expand my horizons and do things I wouldn't normally do.  It's hard to do because I like my little bubble, but here is one of my New Year's Resolutions for 2013.



I love this idea!!!  I thought it was so cool, and I couldn't wait to share it.  So if you want to join me for Meaningful Christmas 2013 let me know and I will add you to my list of Meaningful Christmas Buddies!  :)

Hope you all had a great first week of December! From seat 20E,

Happy December from the Air...

Who can believe it's December?  Not me!  This year has just flown by... Funny that I wrote that since we are currently flying.  :)

We are celebrating 3 years of marriage by spending a week in Punta Cana.  Woot!  I am not sure what I am looking forward to most...hanging out with a non-stressed Baehr for 7 straight days, beach time, sleep time, or food.  They all sound quite good.  Don't you agree?

These past few weeks have been crazy.  Three weeks ago we celebrated Cal's 9th birthday with 16 of his classmates, a few of his favorite teachers, and some of our regular party crew. It was a good party, but let me just say that 16 - 10 and unders provide a lot of loud moments!  haha



The following week Courtney, Cal, and I drove to Alabama for Thanksgiving.  Met my parents and the rest of my moms family for a grand ole family time.  This was probably ones of the best Alabama visits I have ever had.  We ate tons of good food, took a million pictures, and laughed until we were in tears.



This week at work was a little longer than normal because we had an event on Monday and then I worked late Thursday since the rest of the crew will be at Team Training all weekend.  That made my Friday "to do" list long, but between all of my errands I got to spend some time with a few of my favorite people.

A girl I used to work with at Xtreme just had twins and brought them over for an afternoon at the house.  It was so good to see her and the babies!  Such cuties they are!  I only took one picture and it's on my phone so you don't get to see them in this post. 

I went to Xtreme last night because Baehr's niece is in the developmental program there, so I had to go check that out.  I have high hopes for her despite the fact that she's only 5...I have Olympic dreams!  hahaha

After Cobras I went to dinner with two friends from Xtreme, Candy and Telia.  We closed the placed down.  After a 4 hour dinner I guess they were ready for us to leave.... ooopppsss!  I got home at 11:30 last night and still hadn't packed.  YIKES!

And that brings you to today...on the plane headed to PC.  Hope you all have a great first of December!  We definitely will!  :)

Love from the Baehr Block...
