Lately...

Where to begin? Lets see, last weekend, as in not this past one but the one before that, i had to dogsit. For the people i babysit for. Dogsit as in staying the night with the dogs for three nights (including the night before Easter) so that i could be there to feed them supper and breakfast! haha i know, it sounds a little bit crazy but these people really love their dogs! I didnt mind it so so bad, because i had some girls stay with me every night so that i wouldnt be there alone, and it was pretty fun i guess.

 Shalek^

Twyla^

Then Saturday, I left the dogs to fend for themselves a few hours while i fixed Caitlins hair for her pictures, i really wish i wouldve taken some pictures of her hair but i guess i was just too stressed out to think about that haha. 

Also, me and Maegen happend to be outside when the ice cream truck ran, so i stumbled upon this little fella... ;)

and he was delicious.

Saturday evening was the Easter dinner at the church, and then we had sort of a open mic night at the church for us all, well for them all, i obviously didnt sing i just listened and played with Auburn, (better known as Little Crimson)

Yeah, she looks a little zoned out in this one lol

My hair, is getting long.

Olivia stayed with me and the dogs Saturday night, and when i went to pick her up i get to meet this little guy, his name is Lyle.

Monday night, Preslie stayed with me and then the next day, we got to babysit Norah and William! i was really excited about that because i have definitely missed them alot, and William is getting so big so fast! We definitely had a fun time keeping them, and Norah basically had the time of her life lol

William. Look at those fat legs! Those are really suppose to look like shorts, but his legs are so fat that the legs of the shorts always just ride up. Precious!

Wednesday night, me Garrett and Blair went to Huntsville, and i got a much needed blessing there, and it was amazing to say the VERY least :)

Thursday I was off, so me and Haley and Jared and Preslie all went fishing at Madison County Lake. I was so glad to go again since i hadnt been at all this year and it seems like all i ever hear anybody talking about nowdays, but it was cold though! super sunny, but super windy and when i would try to take my jacket off i ended up having to put it right back on! Nobody caught anything except Haley caught one fish, thats it. But were planning on going back, so maybe ill be able to redeem myself then :)

The moment that made all of our day that day: There was an old woman that was just like lurking around the lake, staring into the water and stuff. We were all wondering what she was doing, and then she ended up coming out on our peninsula and we were all just like uhhhh.....

She started making small talk with us about the fish and everything, and then turns to Preslie (the youngest one out of all of us, she'll just turn 15 this sunday) and says "Do you think that maybe i could bum a cigarette off of you? I left mine at home and im wanting one really bad" It was all we could do not to die laughing

After we got done fishing, we went to Mary's bbq and ahh... its so delicious :) i have only had it one other time, when me Ben Brittney and Lindz went probably about 3 years ago, and funny thing is that Haley spotted where we had signed this little big statue, so that was pretty neat

Friday night was Toneys singing, there wasnt hardly anybody there because from what i hear , basically the entire holiness movement was at PG. (secretly, i wanted to go there too to see new harmony) but Toneys singing ended up being pretty good! Virtue was there and i love them, they did amazing and i got their cd and have been listening to it like crazy!

Friday night after the singing, i had to finish up the cake pops that i was making for Aprils surprise birthday party the next day! (side note on the cake pops- they were a sensation! a pain to make, but so worth it because they were delicious and Ben has already put in his request for me to make more lol. i wish i wouldve taken a picture of them, but again i guess i was just too stressed out) Anyways, i was up until like 2 am trying to finish them, when i needed to be up at 7 am to get ready to hit the road! well, i slept through my alarm and didnt wake up until 8, resulting in me leaving an hour late, resulting in me speeding to try to make it on time, resulting to..... MY FIRST TICKET :(

and to top it all off, it was given to me by a state.

Well, i ended up making it to coolidge like right as Brett and the blindfolded April pulled up, which was perfect timing because Brett had me video her leading April down to the park by holding her hand!

A picture of me and April, April is sitting in the car blind folded and you have to really look to be able to tell whats going on lol

April was super surprised and almost cried when she saw everybody . it was great :) and even though we really basically didnt do a single thing besides lay out in the sun all day long, it was seriously probably one of the best parties that i have been to just because it was so relax and kind of just a do-whatever-you-want-to kind of thing

And also the snowcone that i had was amazing. blue raspberry, grape, and kiwi

Brett had told me that her parents were going to rocky branch the next day, and i hadnt really planned on going this weekend but i have had my intentions of getting back out there, so i told her that if she would come stay the night with me that night that i would go to rocky branch that way she wouldnt even have to drive or anything, so thats what she did! We had a fun and lazy saturday night, we took my car to the carwash and then went to longhorn looking like we had been laying out in the sun all day (because we had) but it was super delicious and super worth it! The rest of the night we just stayed around at the house being lazy and talking

Sunday, rocky branch of course. i really enjoyed it, Brother Ray Davis was there and i really enjoyed what he was talking and of course i enjoyed Brother Jimmy, as always :)

Sunday night, went to Toney and it was amazing, i got another amazzzzing blessing! and so did several of the other girls!

We went to chilis after that, which i really enjoyed as well!

Well, i guess thats it for now!

If My Blog Were a Pet, it would starve to death.

I am so neglecting towards my blog! Just about every time that i blog (maybe once every two or three months) i tell myself im going to start blogging more. but once i blog one time, i really have nothing else to say for about 2 or three months... yeah.. my life isnt always that exciting. its pretty much the same thing every week! haha im just not as good as some people on here that keep up so great with their blogs.. April & Shelby cough cough. I really wish that everybody would start blogging more though, it gives me something to do at work!

So, I do have a new love in my life. A new apple of my eye. A new peanut butter to my jelly. A new sugarplum. And he goes by the name of.... Phillip Phillips. You know, the next American Idol! yes, i am quite in love with him! I dont think that i have really liked anybody as much as him on American Idol since Blake Lewis! He's amazing... and i know that some people say that "every one of his songs sound the same".... but haters gonna hate. Also, Joshua Ledet has been doing really amazing too! I love him as well, there are so many that i like on this season forreal, that its going to be hard watching all of them but Phillip leave.
I could sit here and write a whole other blog about all of my shows, because theyre all so good right now all coming to an end and having tons of little twists and everything (THE WALKING DEAD)  ...but, I will refrain since my last blog was mainly about all of my shows!

Not much has really happened since the last time i blogged, everything is basically the same i guess. Well, everything that i would feel comfortable about posting to the entire world lol. Its been pretty boring lately!
But, that will all change on May 9.

I am so excited for may 9. Less than 2 months away. Because on this fantastic day, I will be arriving at the BEACH! and im so exited :) Im going with Brett and her family. Im really really hoping that the water will be warm enough for me to get in! The last two times that ive went to the beach its been really chilly water and really windy wind! I actually got in the water the first time i went last year even though it was cold, but this last time that i went i didnt even get into the water because i knew i would freeze to death, even though Blake, April, and Ben were begging me to get in with them (i have very high standards of temperatures of water.. if that makes any sense at all) but this time im really hoping for warm water! and if not warm water.. atleast a lot of sun!!

And as for this warm weather we've been having in March, I'm SO loving it! I absolutely love walking, so I'm so glad that its actually been warm enough to walk! And I'm so glad for the time change too, because now I actually have time to walk when I get home from work before it's pitch black dark! I've already got a tiny bit of sun this year, really just enough so that I dont look like sick anymore, which is a very good thing lol. Definitely something i have been looking foward to! It was so hot yesterday that Rowan (little girl i babysit) even had her little swimming pool out swimming! I spent a big part of the day yesterday outside, until the storms hit.

Well, I say that nothing really exciting has happened since i last posted but it just slipped my mind! My precious little cousin Grace got the Holyghost at Hytop on February 21! And it was so sweet, I got to be there to see it! 5 others from Huntsville got it that week as well, and then just last Sunday night 2 more made it at Huntsville! 8 in one month from Huntsville, i love it!

I would like to say that I'll be posting again atleast sometime next week, but its very doubtful. But hey, you never know!

Guess Whose Back..

..Back again! Bailey's back! Tell a friend! I'm sorry to all of those who are depressed because its been so long since ive posted, i know yall all have just been DYING to hear about my always amazing and adventurous life.... just kidding! :) haha
I dont really have anything mind-blowing to blog about today, although i am super excited about tonight! When i get off work, im suppose to be heading straight for scottsboro to meet up with my friends at zaxbys! Scottsboro, random, i know, but its in the middle of me and everybody else! haha Anyways, i believe that its suppose to be me, Brett, April, Blake, Mallory, Raeven, Morgan, and Jarrod, if my sources have told me correctly :)

I know that Shelby touched on American Idol in her last blog, which made me want to blog about my shows. Its such a thrill to me that my shows are finally coming back on! I have went for a while without a set program of shows to watch, my last show that i was keeping up with was walking dead, and that was just one time a week, so it was just barely enough to get me by! well now, Pretty Little Liars started coming back on. and oh. my. goodness. that show! it is so amazing. I do get a lot of critics whenever i tell people how much i love that show, i guess the name just kind of throws them off, but seriously!! i really even think that guys would like it! its such a good mystery and it always leaves you hanging and needing to know more! theres also Lying Games, and the bachelor. and the bachelor, i could count that as like 3 shows for one week, because since each episode is so long, i usually have to watch it in three increments because ill end up getting distracted by the backs of my eyelids or something! As for American Idol, last year i really didnt keep up with it, and i dont know if i really even kept up with it the year before or not. I used to LOVE it though. i was seriously like in LOOOOVEE with Bo Bice. (Please, dont judge!) and i also had a burning flame set up in my heart with Blake Lewis's name on it. and to be honest, theres still a little flicker left to that flame ;) he seriously was just so amazing! like he could sing like an angel, and he also could beat box! like seriously, what more could you ask for!?! well anyways, last year everybody was going all crazy about idol, so i figured i would jump back onto that train. and so far, i have loved it! im so so glad that Colton got accepted, even though he really didnt go to try out. i feel like thats who im going to be rooting for this year. he is so amazing! theres also several other people that i have REALLY liked on there so far, and its only been on for two episodes!!
 I also started watching impractical jokers, ohhh my goodness. talk about a funny show! those guys crack. me. up! i cant decide which is my favorite, joe or murr. theyre all hilarious though!!

Also, (yes this one gets its own little paragraph) WALKING DEAD COMES BACK ON NEXT MONTH! .c.a.n.t.   .w.a.i.t.                       !!!!!

And for the final topic of this blog, i have decided on something i want to start doing. Im almost scared to reveal this, because 1) i dont know if it will ever actually happen and 2) i feel like the entire blogging community is going to fall out of their seats laughing.   but, here goes nothing.


I kinda want to start making cakes. DONT LAUGH. i know that i dont cook! but i have a good reason why i dont!! its because my mom just cooks sooo good , so why would i?!?! okay. so thats not that great of a reason, and Brother David would probably smite me if he heard that reasoning. lol. but forreal though! its probably honestly all due to looking at pinterest way too much. it just seems like it would be so much fun though!! seriously guys, please stop laughing! ;)


well, i hope that i didnt bore yall to death this time, maybe itll be better next time!

Merry Christmas, Everyone :)

Merry Merry Christmas! i believe i have everybody on here beat to posting a Christmas blog :)

This Christmas has actually been one of my best, if not the very best. Most of the time during Christmas time, i normally do the exact opposite of what everybody else does. Normally while everybody else is just in a happy and cheery mood, its like the worst part of the entire year for me for some reason. I mean dont get me wrong, I love Christmas as much as the next guy, but just about however hard i try, i cannot seem to avoid the terrible mood im always in. This year during Christmas time, i have went through my spells where i would get a little depressed, but in all honesty it hasnt gotten anywhere near as bad as it used to. And i feel 100percent sure that i know why this year is different! Obviously, because i have the Holyghost :) i know that everybody on here is probably seriously just tired of hearing me talk about having the Holyghost because it seems like it comes up in every single post of mine. but oh well, dont like it, dont read it! ;)
This year instead of just feeling so alone, i have enjoyed being with my friends seriously like every single day. And my family as well. Sometimes i get so down, just like everybody else does too im sure, but this year Christmas has made me realize what i truly blessed person i am. I have my worries, but most of which are minor. But seriously, the Lord has given me just about everything that a girl could ask for, just about ;) and the rest i believe will come in time. I have the Holyghost first and foremost, which has made my life a thousand times better forreal, i have amazing friends that care so much about me. And they prove that to me not only by telling me, but by showing me how much they care just in little things that they do and how they treat me. And they are all so important to me. I also have such a wonderful family. i love being around my family. They are really just hilarious. but can be serious and loving too. I have like the best parents that have taught me and my brother right. I have the best brother. A wonderful church. Not bragging by any means, but it seriously just seems like i have almost everything, and i have the Lord to thank for that. I take that for granted way too much and just complain wayy too much when i dont have any room to be complaining about anything! So even though this probably should have been my Thanksgiving post instead of my Christmas post, better late than never is all that i have to say :)

I hope that everybody has a merry Christmas and remembers the reason for the season!! ;)

Yesterday, i was thankful for my preacher, Brother David Kittrell. I love him to pieces! He does such a good job. He does his best to encourage the church and does what he feels needs to be done. He came to toney at just the right time too! I never really knew who he was, considering he used to go to Smryna and i dont think ive ever even been there..because they have the same regular as us and also because its so far away too. but i started seeing him around places, like Williams Cove the week the Hilary got the HG. And then he came visiting to toney one night, and i just didnt think anything about it. but come to find out, he made Toney home. shortly after is when Papa (Uncle Charles Underwood) had his heart attack and started going downhill really fast. Everybody just assumed that he was going to be fine, because nobody could actually imagine losing him. thats how i was, atleast. But while Papa was really sick and couldn't lead the services, he had asked Brother David to lead the services until he could get better. But Papa passed.. and the elders decided that Brother David should just continue to lead the services. So he did just that for a while, not calling himself the preacher, just leading the services. but eventually, he became our preacher and i'm so glad of that(: i also am so thankful for his speech issues. i guess i really shouldnt call them "issues" because its definitely things that he could help lol, such has saying suBtle, yo and yo-self instead of you and yourself, "that'd be AIGHT too", and many more. he has also come to adopt many phrases too.. such as "i aint jumpin no benches, but that be aight.", "whats happnin?" and "aint that wonderful" and he's even adopted Thumper's motto for the end of our services "If you cant say something nice then dont say nothing at all" but all of his little speech.. differences.. make my life so much brighter because its always a fun thing to make fun of! so yesterday, i was thankful for my preacher-friend(:

November 16
Today, I am thankful for this past summer. Especially of course for the night that i recieved the Holyghost, but my second favorite night of the entire summer would have to be the night that Kamran recieved the Holyghost. it was just two nights after i recieved it.. and i had no idea that the Lord was even dealing with him. but looking back at the pictures of the night i recieved it.. you can see it ALL OVER his face! I can remember the night after i recieved the Holyghost, when he started the alter.. i was praying for my brother when somebody told me that Kamran was about to make it! it was almost just too much for my brain to even comprehend! but he didnt make it that night, but the next night when he did it was just so sweet! it was seriously like i had recieved it all over again.. and it was only two nights after i had! it was the sweetest thing ever.. i didnt even know what to do with myself! i cried and laughed and cried and laughed for the rest of the entire service! and that had to have been atleast 30 minutes before i left the church.. and then when i left the church and got out to my car.. as i was driving i was still just crying and laughing and crying and laughing!  and now if i see him testifying or anything, i always think back to that night and it just makes me so happy(: also, the night after that, another one of my little cousins Connor Hindman recieved the Holyghost.. then exactly a week to the day after i did, my best friend/cousin Lindz did too!! and then there was more.. some related to me and some not. but it was hands-down the BEST summer of my entire life! so today, i am so very thankful for the summer of hope!

Thankful

Saturday, November 12
Saturday i was thankful for lazy days. Saturday i had a beyond amazing lazy day with Lindz. the first good lazy day ive got to have in a couple weeks, and i so enjoyed it. theres nothing like kicking back in the recliner with a just watching tv and playing on the computer all day with a best friend. so saturday, i was thankful for my breaks(:

Sunday, November 13
Yesterday, i was thankful for my Holyghost. im sure that all of yall have been surprised that that wasnt the very first day of what i was thankful for, but i saved it for this day because as of yesterday, i have had the Holyghost for 5 months(: and so far it has been the best 5 months of my life! so yesterday, i was more than thankful for my ticket(:

Today, November 14
Today i am thankful for one of my best friends, Haley. today is her 21st birthday! Time for a little reminisce. most people have only known Haley for about 2 and a half years, because thats how long shes had the Holyghost. but me and her go way back. we met through Whitney, because she used to live on Whitneys street. i can vaguely remember going over to her house a time or two whenever i had spent the night with Whitney or something. One time i'm pretty sure we watched atleast part of Harry Potter over at her house.. and i thought it was so wierd because she had her tv in her closet lol. i dont think i ever told her about that though lol. we never really were close then though, we just knew of each other pretty much. Then one day, she moved into my neighborhood. and from then on we just started hanging out. and it had got to where we were seriously with each other like every.single.day. this all started when i was in 5th grade, so she wouldve been in 7th grade. We were with each other so much, that by the time that i got into middle school with her, the bus driver just knew that it was okay if i got off the bus at her house, or that she got off the bus at my house (they make a big deal about that, for all homeschoolers that may be reading this) My mom would take us to school in the mornings and eat our cereal in plastic cups.. and our favorite kinds of mornings were FOGGY MORNINGS! mom is super afraid of fog.. she gets like claustrophobic in it. So on foggy days, we would get checked in at like 10 or 10:30.. and im sure there was a time or two that we just didnt go at all. We had even convinced our moms to let us spend the night with each other on school nights (something that with most would never be acceptable!) I could seriously write soooo much about what all we did.. stretching from playing battle of the kitchens and jailbreak with the neighborhood kids to going to the smokies. but then when she went to high school we just kind of grew apart, i guess since we werent in the same school anymore and because she ended up moving out of my neighborhood. whenever i got to high school and i would see her in the halls and stuff we would wave at each other but we would never just stop and talk. it was really sad actually because she was my very best friend for most of middle school!
When Whitney died, Haley came around. she came her house the day after, and then to the funeral and everything. She was really tore up about it too, because that was one of her good childhood friends. she felt kind of out of place at the funeral and everything because really the only ones that she knew were me and Ben, but of course me and Ben were happy to have her back. (her and Ben were also really close too, he was just as much her brother as he was mine and still is) I guess she was happy to be back too, because she just kept coming around! then she started talking about how she wanted to come to church. and that was unheard of from her! because when we had been such good friends i would try to get her to come with me but she wouldnt, not even once, because she thought that she was just a target for people to lay hands on her. (she used to go alot when she was little, shes brother Buford's step-granddaughter and her brother has the Holyghost too) so she came to church with us, and then she started talking about how she wanted the Holyghost. and you could tell she really wanted it, but she knew that she couldnt just decide that she wanted it and come get it, she had to go on God's time. but she kept coming with us, and she would always get on to me and Amber for eating and talking during church because she wanted to pay attention! well to spare a whole testimony.. she ended up running to the alter (behind brother David's back.. he was still preaching to the lost people behind her before he realized that she was down in the alter praying) and got the Holyghost! and she ended up marrying my cousin/brother Jared.. which was just dandy because i had always wanted Jared to marry one of my close friends that way i could always stay close to him too! so today, i am thankful for my bestfriend(:

Thankfulness

November 10-
Yesterday, i was thankful for my car. i know this may be a strange and random thing to be thankful for, but seriously i use my car almost every single day. i would hate not having one. Me and my car, as of right now, dont get along too well because it just has issues that i'm getting fed up with! hopefully very soon i'll be getting rid of it and onto my second car, but i still am thankful for this car because it has held me through 3 years of driving. so, i am thankful for my transpotation(:

November 11-
Today, i am thankful for music. mainly gospel music, because thats mostly what i listen to. and it can always lift my mind up and make me feel so much better. i'm also thankful for all of the groups that make the cd's (such as new harmony.. definitley my fav) so, i am thankful for my pick-me-up(:
