an update

on my pitiful arm. it is still bandaged, and i finally looked at it today! EW! it was gross!!!!!! my stomach hurt after that. i am not in too much pain which is great. i went to the doctor's office yesterday to get my arm looked at but also for all of us to get the flu mist(much better than the shot). they said that my arm looked wonderful for an arm with 37 stitches, which is great to hear. i get my stitches taken out in 9 days. we have been changing out the bandages of my arm and cleaning it to...which burns a tiny bit... not very bad compared to the numbing of my arm. i feel so helpless not being able to do things for my self. here is a list of 5 things i can't do:

1. put my contacts in
2. open medicine bottles or water bottles
3. wash my hair
4. type with capitol letters
5. fold clothes...not a bad thing

see told ya' i could give you five, and thats just the start of my list! one thing that i thought was cool was that my dad is preaching a series on acts. the chapter we are on is talking about telling other people about God. when i was on my meds i was talking about tons of stuff, and some of it i honestly don't remember. one thing my dad told me was that i told my doctor about Jesus(he was not a christian). i apparently told him about my great christian friends and family, my sunday school class, and our acts study. i thought that it was cool that God used my bad circumstance to tell someone about God. interesting...i know. anyway i don't mind any questions so don't hesitate to ask! thanks for praying and continue to- thanks for reading-bailey-psalm 56:3-

a trip to the emergency room

i was playing flash light tag with some of my friends and i was running out of their church and instead of turning the door nob, i stuck my hand through the glass window pain. i cut my arm terribly in 3 places so my dad had to come and get me and rush me to the emergency room. after i got there i had to get 37 stitches, it did not hurt that bad, except when they where numbing my arm before they stitched me up. so i can only use one hand which is why there are no capitol letters in this email. i go back to the doctors tomorrow, then i get my stitches taken out in ten days. i am on medicine for my pain, which is helping, but i am very tired. please be praying for me these next few days...thanks for being my friend! thanks for reading~bailey~psalm 56:3~

p.s. i am very blessed that it happened at my best friend's house because they are like family to me, and they took care of me until my dad got there! thanks guys...love you!

A special celebration!

Yesterday was Emily Grace's birthday! Now for those of you that don't know, Emily is my best friend. When my dad was in seminary so was Emily's dad, my dad and Emily's dad, and my mom and Emily's mom became best friends. So when I was born, it was quite natural for the two of us to be best friends! That leads me to say that Emily and I have been friends for 13 years and 9 months! I have the most wonderful best friend in the whole world! She has watched countless chick-flicks with me, I am serious we have watched "Love's Enduring Promise" about 5 times... not kidding! Anyway, here are five things about Emily:

1. She can make anyone laugh(not kidding)

2. We share the same hatred in math!

3. We are both girly girls

4. She is always wearing the most cute clothes and coordinating jewelry

5. She loves Zac Efron and Fred the movie

I love you Emmy G. Thanks for being my BFF!!!!!

Sometimes I wonder

Is she ever scared?

Does she remember what the orphanage was like?

Does she ever wonder who her real mother is?

Does she ever think that we might leave her?

Does she ever think that we don't love her?

Does she always know that we will be there for her?

Does she remember her birth mom?

When she throws her fits over food is it because she doesn't know when she will get more?

Does she ever wonder "why do these white people love me so much?"

Sometimes these questions run through my brain.

Does Sonia know that her big sister prayed for her to come?

I love you Sonia Grace, I always will. When you are tired I will hold you. When you are hurt I will kiss your boo-boos. When you are happy I will be happy with you. When you have question I will answer it to the best of my ability. When you want to go shopping I would LOVE to take you shopping. When you want to play baby dolls, I will play with you. Just know that I love you and I will always be there for you. You are the perfect little sister! Your big sissy~Bailey Elizabeth

One of my favorite sounds

Is the clicking of keys on the computer board while typing a paper! I just love that sound it seems a little weird but, as a write this post it is like music to my ears. Thanks for reading my randomness~Bailey~Psalm 56:3~

School, why does it have to be this hard and long?

Seriously, I should not have just finished school twenty minutes ago...not cool! Today I got started with school at 9:00, left at 2:00 for a Latin meeting with some of my friends and my Challenge B teacher, got back at 4:00, took a break, ate dinner at 5:00 started back with school at 6:00 and finished at about 7:25...AHHHH! It is so hard! Not the actual school part, but how long it takes just frustrates me! I am usually finished at 3:00pm, but today was exceptionally long. Anyway, I guess that is what 8th grade is like, but at least I don't have to go to Public School! Thanks for reading~With love~Bailey~Psalm 56:3~

P.S. I just wanted to say, Mom thanks so much for all of the hard work and time that you put into homeschooling us! I love being home schooled so much and I love you too! I appreciate the education that you give us, and can't wait to follow in your footsteps and become a wonderful teacher just like you! Thanks for all that you do!

A very special friend

6 or 7 years ago our family met a certain person that now plays a very important part in my life. She is like a sister to me. Even though she is 5 years older than me, we are like best friends. We have tie-died t-shirts together. We have had Zaxbys and Perfect Blend together, on our special day together. She went to youth camp with us this summer. She has an extremely funny personality. She loves being around kids. Most of all she serves others with a loving heart, and loves God more than anything.

Paige Kreigel, is like my sister. She just graduated high school this spring. We have grown to be AMAZING friends over the past six years. She is at College, and I miss her like crazy. When she left for college I felt like my sister left for college. About a month ago Paige took me on a special day. We went to downtown Lexington and took pictures. We ate lunch and ice cream together, and we tie-tied t-shirts and socks together. It was a wonderful day, for two wonderful friends. Since Paige has left for college we have been writing letters back and forth to each other. Most of all Paige is a Godly influence to me, and I can't wait to see where are friendship takes us in the years to come!

I love you so much Paige Kreigel and hope to see you soon! Thanks for all that you have done for me!

The Tender side of Paige

The kid loving side of Paige

The fun side of Paige at camp

And finally the normal Paige, she is always wearing hats!
