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(:

Two Thankful Days

Tuesday, November 8
On Tuesday, I am thankful for my church. Even though we have our ups and downs just as any other church does.. i still love it so much. i can't imagine not going there. I hate to ever miss a service there and i just love all of the people there! and i can definitely tell that they love me too. they are so good to encourage. So on Tuesday, i was thankful for my extended family(:

Wednesday, November 9
Today, I am thankful for my grandparents. All five of them (Pop-Jerry Underwood, Grandmother-Carolyn Underwood, Poppop-Roy Gaines, Granna-Margaret Gaines, and Sue.Sue-Sue Gaines). They all are such a light to me. They have taught me so many things through my life, but most of all the fear and trust in the Lord. They all do, or did, so good in church. I have 100% faith that my Granna is waiting in Heaven for me, because she led such a great life, and i could tell that even when i was just young. Whenever they get up in church, they always have my full attention, and it makes me so happy to see them get up just to testify or when they get a good blessing! So today, I am thankful for my Lights(:

Three Thriving Thankful Days

Saturday, Nov. 5th.
I am so very thankful for Alabama Football. Even though our kickers were temporarily out of their minds, and even though they let LSU get too many interceptions on us.. and even though they quite obviously just gave up during overtime, the most critical part of the game, i still love them. They are such a good team. and i dont care how many auburn fans want to comment on this and bash Alabama until their fingers bleed, the tide definitely is a good team. so on Saturday, i was so thankful for my team(: #rolltideroll


Sunday, Nov. 6th.
I am so very thankful for Huntsville church. Last night i went to Huntsville and enjoyed myself just as i always do. Huntsville is definitely like my second home church. it is so special to me because, as if the entire blog universe didn't already know, that is where i received the Holyghost. And everytime i go there i am reminded of that night! and also, i get to see all my wonderful family and my best friend hilly g. so on Sunday, i was so thankful for my second home church(:

Monday, Nov. 7th.
Today, i am thankful for my mom and dad. They are so beyond amazing to me and always try their best to help me. Even though i dont always get along with them, or dont always agree with them, they still are two of my favorite people in the whole entire universe and i can depend on them more than any other two people in the world. so today, i am thankful for my support system(:
