So here goes, with my first entry, it is naptime in Huntsville, Alabama, we are all resting, especially after an exciting night of my radiator blowing out, no worries we took pictures of the event at the sonic in bessemer, we are here for Maddies dance recital tonight, which the theme is something to do with the USA, Maddie is dancing to Surfin USA and Firefly. too cute! So yesterday I accepted my first travel nurse position ever in Dallas, Texas...i move into my private 1 bedroom free furnished apartment on June 6 and i will be done with that assignment on Sept. 6. I have already googled everything imaginable to do in Dallas and am SOOOO excited! I got on my travel nurse companies website, and realize within the next 2 weeks, i have a ton of paperwork and tying things together quickly to make this happen! I am so excited about this opportunity to see what God will do with me, and I am trust Him that this is right for me right now, I am praying that things will become very clear to me, and that I will have my eyes open and my heart healed, and that He will just be with me every step of this exciting, scary, new way. I trust Him and cannot wait to see what His will is for my new life in Dallas, and whatever comes thereafter!!! I am sad because this will be my first ever summer away from BRANDON and the loves of my life there, all my family, friends, church, my "trees", laying out and riding around and just having a good ol southern summertime with everyone, but Texas will be a good first assignment I think, and maybe not too much of a culture shock. This whole thing came about pretty quick, but I dont think it was going to go any other way than that, I have been thinking about it for a long time, and just had a moment a couple of weeks ago, where I realized, its time for me to fly a little and get away for a while. my co-workers probably remember that night, bc as always tearful Bailey, came out but it was a good cry, and has brought me to this point of adventure and time for me to fly and become the person God wants me to be. anywho...i cant think of much more at the moment, but I will keep everyone posted and pictures will be coming and stories about my adventures in the Big D!!!! LOVE YALL!!

Quotes
"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see"-Hebrews 11:1
Let it be.
"she is who she is because of where she's been"
Where there is great love, there are always miracles
Don't be reckless with other peoples hearts, dont put up with those who are reckless with yours
"Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealusy unyielding as the grave, it burns like a blazing fire; like a mighty flame, many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away, if one were to give all the wealth of his house for love, it would be utterly scorned-Song of Songs
Carrie: Your girl is lovely, Hubble.
Mr. Big: I don't get it.
Carrie: And you never did.
Carrie: Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous.
"excuse me while i kiss the sky"
"Following the light of the sun, we left the old world"
"if you hold on to the handle she said, its easier to maintain the illusion of control, but its more fun if you just let the wind carry you"-Story People...from Megan
"perhaps if we never veered off course we wouldnt fall in love, or have babies, or be who we are, after all, seasons change so do cities. people come into your life, and go, but its comforting to know the ones you love are always in your heart, and if your very lucky, a plane ride away"-sex in the city
"then the time came when the risk it took to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom"-Anais Nin

They say that if you are born in Texas, you will return. I guess whoever said that was psychic or working on a tourism campaign for Texas. I imagine you guys are watching Munchkin perform, I am playing poker (no it is not an addiction) and missing you both. About Texas, don't stress out, it was only an 8 hour journey on I20 during the Carter 55 era so I would estimate 7 hours and a butt today.. The journey will be good no matter which way the wind blows, at least you are continuing those steps down the road.
I hope I am the first to comment; that would be appropriate considering I was a major influence in your start, with a great deal of help from your mom and God. Just remember nothing there is nothing more satisfying than a Texas sunset, if you don't like the weather-wait a day-it always changes, and remember the three P's, Pietro's pizza, Pancho's Mexican buffet, and Peony's chinese. You enjoyed them as an embryo - enjoy them now as an adult.
Love,
dad
Yea! Bailey has a blog! I look forward to keeping up with your Dallas Adventures!
Love, Tricia
Bailey,
Shane and I are so proud for you. Finally you are doing something that has been an interest of yours for a long time and you are not letting anyone change your mind. THis is going to be an awesome experience for you; it may open so many other opportunities for you. Remember the one rule, you can't fall in love out there because you can't move to Dallas. JUST KIDDING!! If God has someone there for you then I pray that you will meet them, fall in love, and enjoy everything in life there is to enjoy. I hope you will allow GOd to guide you through this experience. Things are going exactly how he has planned it so your job is to follow him and trust him. There are big things is store for you, hold on tight!!! I wanted to give you a bible verse to lean on. We have all heard Jeremiah 29:11, but recently I heard it in a different version, The Message. THis is what God says to his children; "I know what I am doing. I have it all planned out-plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for." Remember these words on the days you question and the days when you think you can't get through. GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME!!!!
I love you Bai,
Piper
**Call me anytime/anyhour!!!
I'm so thrilled that Bai has a blog! Definitely love the girl, already love the blog! :) I'm really excited for you! I know you'll love Dallas. (At least I've loved it - the few times I've been there.) Thanks for sharing your adventure with us!
(P.S. love the blog song selection :) )
(Ok, sorry, i've used the word "love" frivolously in this post- but sincerely - love YOU, Bailey! :)

Bai,
I am so excited for you! I knew you were going to do this all along and I think you did too. You have contemplated this move for quite some time now and seeing how it all just "worked" so easily should make you feel secure in your decision.
Of course, we will miss you terribly and if you ask me right now Texas seems more like a planet away than just 8 hours. I like the fact that you chose Texas though. Someone else I know ventured off to Texas about 27 yrs ago and the rest, shall we say, is history. My history and your history. Both Fort Worth (your birth place), and Dallas are great. You will never run out of things to do or places to go. Check out Neiman Marcus, and Pancho's. Oh yes.....the other 2 "p" places Dad mentioned. Also the zoo, and of course Daily Plaza. The Stockyards and Gilley's (made famous in Urban Cowboy). Most importantly, go by Ridglea Country Club Apartments......your first home. I vividly remember these B52 bombers from the nearby air force base flying over our little apartment. They literally would almost shake the walls down and the sound was deafening. But here little Bailey slept quitely through it all and never once cried.
You are my hero Bailey girl! Remember to stay TRUE to Bailey and what she believes in. The world.......or at least Texas, is at your fingertips.
Who doesn't know what I'm talking about
Who's never left home, who's never struck out
To find a dream and a life of their own
A place in the clouds, a foundation of stone
Many precede and many will follow
A young girl's dreams no longer hollow
It takes the shape of a place out West > But what it holds for her, she hasn't yet guessed
She needs wide open spaces
Room to make her big mistakes
She needs new faces
She knows the high stakes
She traveled this road as a child
Wide-eyed and grinning she never tired
But now she won't be coming back with the rest
If these are life's lessons, she'll take this test
As her folks drive away her dad yells, "Check the oil!"
Mom stares out the window and says
"I'm leaving my girl."
She says it didn't seem like that long ago
When she stood there and let her own folks know
She needed wide open spaces
Room to make her big mistakes
She needs new faces
She knows the high stakes
!
