On an index card, I have everything over the past 2 weeks written down day by day with what I did. I have a few pictures to go with it, but I figured you'd get bored with me explaining my life the way I had planned. I decided I'd just post a few highlights.
I'm seriously wanting to blog everyday. I promise! I just, I guess moving back to Memphis a couple of weeks ago shook things up. So, I have to get in a groove again. But anyway, here's a few highlights...
Some of the U of M's cheerleaders performed at one of the private schools that Luke played a couple of weeks ago. The younger kids and high school cheerleaders loved it! I had a class with one of the guys (the red-headed one) so it was neat to see him again...
I moved back in again 2 weeks ago Monday. I found out a friend I know through softball moved in next door. Small world. haha. Madison and I spent about 2 hours 2 nights in a row hanging out with three of our neighbors. It was cool to catch up and just chill and laugh!...
This is Brittaney. (The softball girl I know).
Our building also had it's first fire alarm of the winter. & it had to fall on one of the coldest days of this season yet. The alarm went off when Madison was in the middle of her shower. That was one of our worst fears..haha! All I could think about was her freaking out when she heard it, slipping, and hurting herself. So, here's Momma Bailey rushing to the bathroom door making sure she's ok. I asked her, "Madison! What can I do to help you??" Her reply? "Turn around so I can put clothes on!!" Oh man. We died laughing. It was hilarious. We ended up standing outside for 45 minutes with 2 friends that we graduated with, Brittaney, and a girl that was coloring her hair when the alarm sounded...
Here's the girl that was coloring her hair. She took the clip out, and her hair was literally frozen. It didn't budge. The next two girls are Caitlyn and Courtney.
Poor little Madison.
The next picture is just a random picture of Luke and I before one of his games. :)
One of the big highlights this last week was a gospel concert that was put together as a benefit for St. Jude. Being a Morale Captain, it was required of me to attend, so I dragged Madison who dragged Taylor along with me. It was all three of our first gospel concert, and it was great! Definitely TOTALLLLLYYYY different then what I'm used to, but it was awesome. We had a great time...
Two of these girls reminded us of Willow Smith and Nicki Minaji!
Kyle & Sam (MCs with me) getting down!
The three of us on our way back to the dorm!

I officially started working at the daycare this week. However, I'm not working with the school-aged kids (7 yrs.+) (Thank goodness!!). I am teaching the 3&4 year olds and a few kindergarteners! I absolutely love it. I know there will be days that I'm exhausted and grouchy, but I'm really excited. The kids are so sweet. They continually ask me to read them books. That's really one of the main focuses of that daycare, even when I was there as a student-to instill the love of reading. The kids are great. They need discipline though. :) A few of the kids wanted to play dress up, so that's what we did! They were so sweet and happy to pretend to be someone else for a few minutes. The little girl, Riley, was showing me her dress when her father came and got her. She was so excited to show him her princess outfit! The kids really are precious. I love them already...
Jeff as a business man and Landon as a firefighter!
& here's Riley as a princess!
There's just something about being called "Ms. Bailey." I can't wait 'til the day when that's how all of the kids will know me. I can't wait to have my own classroom. :)))
This week I got a new app on my phone--Faceinhole. It's where you take pictures of people and fill holes in other pictures. Here's a few that I made. I sent two of them to my mom. They cracked us up...
Luke and I. It makes me laugh every time I look at it!
One of my favorite foods of all time!
&&&&& of course. My favorite character in the entire world. :)
Wednesday, I got the cravings for a midnight snack. So, I pulled out a pack of pizza rolls that we have in our freezer and decided to throw them in the microwave. However, they were completely un-edible by the time I was through with them! My cooking skills proved to be an epic (and eternal) fail. Within 30 minutes, I had around 46 comments on the picture that I posted on facebook. It was the funniest thing Madison and I went through all day.
I don't know how, but yes, I burned the INSIDE of the pizza roll...
Friday, we had a SNOW DAY!! It was the ice that was a problem, but that's ok. I didn't have to go to class or
work. instead, I went over to Natalie's house and chilled there ALL day. (until supper when I had pizza with
Luke!) It was so nice. We never turned the TV on. Not once. We had our computers and our chatting to keep us
busy. i don't think she knows how much I appreciate her. Here's a few pictures from our day. She's going to kill
me... ;)
Gator stayed with me Friday night. Brittaney wasn't home this entire weekend, so we decided to leave a few notes on her door. Needless to say, they were hilarious jokes. We love her so much!!
We also went to iHop at midnight. It's now a tradition. We go every time she stays with me. It's our favorite thing to do together. We usually order breakfast, but this time Gator decided to order chicken strips. She started feeling sick in the middle of supper, so she got a to go box. I don't have ketchup in the dorm, soooo we took it!! We left the waitress a $5 tip though. We hope she understands... :)
It was nice having a day to do nothing but laugh.
Luke and I have had some hit and miss opportunities to have some time together these past few days. When we do meet up, it's usually spur of the moment and only for a couple of hours-if that. He brought me Starbucks one night at work and "cordially invited" me to a late supper at his house. (He wrote out an invitation and taped it to my cup). It was sweet and creative. :) We randomly met up last night after work at 10:00 for O'Charley's! I was really excited..I love their soup!! This morning I had a hard time waking up. I was run down from this week, and I was really stuffy and slow. So, instead of attending church, we went to his house and watched the sermon live on the internet. I love Brother Steve Gaines. He gives it to you straight from the Word. It's awesome to hear/see what God lays before me every day and Sunday morning through His word. :) Following the sermon, Luke and Mrs. Ronda made a shrimp and rice dish for lunch, and we had that before I had to go to work. It was a nice and comfy Sunday. :)
My schedule and stress is starting to pick up. I'm excited about what's to come, but anxious at the same time. I've hit an obstacle already, and it will probably only be tougher. I just keep reminding myself to follow the Lord. He will take care of me and any situation that comes my way. I belong to Him.
Remember that throughout the week, you can't do anything alone. It's hard not to "do it yourself," but, those are the times that turn out to be the worst. Give it to the Lord, and his blessings will head your way. Keep your head up as you go throughout this week. I love you all.
