yea, i'm at bma.. life is good here. Things are busy but NEVER too busy to keep up with my email. shoot me some mail.. it'd be nicer if you guys could email me on my bma email.. wait.. i have to find it..i think its like nicolef@bma.us. I'm not sure.. try it.. just send me a hello if anything! it doesnt need to be long or anything.
Like i said bma is nice.. i kinda miss public school though because of the classes there are, i think nicer in the way that i can double up and i dont have to take a while year of it and i can take spanish 1 and i can take psych. this year..
I got my roomie. her name is Casie B.
I have work in the morning- cleaning. then after lunch i my classes go as followed for A days.. gym, bible 10 ( which i really like so far), and bio.
For bdays i have work, english 10, chapel, lunch, world history (not western wanted something easy) and geometry and AA if i make the team.. i'm not keeping my hopes up for that. We had handshake on sunday as it is a custom or something. Justine has music ready for me whenever i get my violin back. :)) i have a few classes with him. I have a class with Chad and cody (seperately). and yea.. i'm gonna go now.. i REALLY WANT to go into the worship room next door and do some reading and writing.

From Dolly to Shawn
i have realized how much i am going to miss talking to Dolly. We had an amazingly funny and meaningful conversation and not only did we talk tonight but all week long and i love every single conversation we had. I sometimes forget how much i love someone until i hear from them and talk to them for a little while. And this week i was reminded of how much some of my friends love me- like dolly and Gina and Katie. D, kt and Gina i love u all soo much and wouldnt trade u for anything! know that and remember that!!! You guys are soo amazing and loving and special to me in so many different ways.
I am going to miss talking to Hrabia too.. I am going to miss laughing and smiling and just talking to him before he goes to bed.. I'm going to miss all my online people and drake and reading james' entries.. i dont know about other blog entries.. i might find time to do so..I dont know if i 'll miss my lil bro shawn.. in some ways i will but not enough and i wont miss him like when i was at camp.. i dont know what i was thinking when i said i missed him cause he treated me like crap when i got home!! and look, he just spit in my hair...
Dolly, i will be thinking of you all the time while i'm at bma. I will look for the candle. I will pray for you and your safety. I will pray every night as always that God will be your number one and that u will rely on him more and more. I will pray that not too much drama will come your way and if u get overwhelmed by all of your troubles u will turn to him and open your heart and mind to new possibilities. I love you dolly!! The whole world knows it!!! If YOU Need ANYTHING email me!!
and that goes for all ya's!! if any ya's need anything let me know and i'll try my best to be there for you. :) as always! Kaylee, i'm talking to u too!
Farewell for now, i am off to BMA early tomorrow. I will still try to update. we will see. my next homeleave is sept. 20-24. I will miss you guys!! really I will!!

Let me inform u of its contents. there were 2 letters, a great mix including Third day and jars of clay, a BEAUTIFUL t-shirt that said I love nikki and a note on the back of it :)), and cookies!! COOKIES!!! yea!! right?!?! it was GREAT!!! THANK YOU Peter, Liz, and Justine!!! I'm even more excited to see u all to give ya'll hugs!!! yay!!!!! THAT was the highlight of MY day!!! Great i tell ya!
So, I think we have a slight issue with getting everything packed into a little tiny car as well as the pastors son's stuff. I have A LOT OF stuff! So here's my plan, I will only take the things necessary. Pictures, clothes, bedding, and food!! ;) its just my cheese!! "cheese is mold under duress" - Emiliy E. ok and.. wheat thins!! and.. tea and cup a soup.. i think maybe my cheese can wait until registration because i just got a fridge too from my grandma Harriet. I will bring all my cleaning stuff later and the fridge and cheese can wait for now.. my bottled water is a must because water is good for you! ;) and flavored water is even better! ;) :))
iight well i'm tired of sitting here at the puter.. again.. i just wanted to let everyone know about my excitement of recieving that suprise package!

A lot of 'i got to's'
i'm outta here on Friday morning to head off to BMA. I feel like i'm ready because i've talked to all the people i wanted to before i left and i sent my thank yous to others. I've talked to dear katie AND spent the summer working with her. Emily Y. visited at camp this summer and altho her stay was not long and we did not spent much time together i was happy to see her 'breathing' again and not soo busy. I FINALLY got to talk to Dolly and send my love out to her and just talk. I spent what 2 weeks with my cousin and survived came home and spent more time with her. I got to watch my little cousins for two days. Did i say something bout Katie? but I got to spend time with Katie this summer- enough said. :)) I had the oppurtunity to be responsible and do things myself and take charge which i hardly ever do because of fears of bringing conflict which i think in the long run helps leadership skills. I got to talk to my dear Ginas :)) and get some Gina lovin. :)) I said my farewells to people. OH! i got to see alex and Keirsten AND Jen Raimondo all this summer! AND all summer i managed not to be overwhelmed with lifes drama and i'm proud of myself for that it is quite an accomplishment being a fisher. ;)
OH OH!!! i spent time with my auntie and my aunt!! AND i went and saw taledega AND Step up! both good movies.
there was so much i got to do this summer i am happy and satisfied. :)
i'm out

"How To Clean Bathroom Commode"
Cruel but funny!
1. Put both lids of the toilet up and add 1/8 cup of pet shampoo to the
water in the bowl.
2. Pick up the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom.
3. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close both lids.
You may need to stand on the lid.
4. The cat will self agitate and make ample suds. Never mind the noises that
come from the toilet, the cat is actually enjoying this.
5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a "power-wash" and
rinse."
6. Have someone open the front door of your home. Be sure that there are no
people between the bathroom and the front door.
7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift both lids.
8. The cat will rocket out of the toilet, streak through the bathroom, and
run outside where he will dry himself off.
9. Both the commode and the cat will be sparkling clean.
Sincerely,
The Dog

Greetings,
Just wanted to share this wonderful blessing of how the Lord is working in
un-expected ways. What a joyful blessing. Please keep this dear sister in
your prayers.

Almost 2 years ago I ordered 3 Amish shawls from you for a re-enacting
event. You included 2 tracts in the package. I was going to throw them out
but decided to read them and refute them. Well, they started me reading
scripture intently. I was a " Baptist". I started attending a Mennonite
Church, which I found to be more Biblically sound. They do not however keep
the Sabbath. So, I am still searching for a church, but I am very grateful
to you for your faithfulness to the Lord in providing me with those tracts.
I am trying to learn more about the Sabbath and how to keep it Holy. So
far, my family thinks I have gone off the deep end. I now dress modestly
and cover my head. This is not easy because no one in my family does this.

That's how much you mean to me! That's how much i love you! i'd sell off the WHOLE world just to get you back. Trade all of creatino just for you.
Isiah 43:4
Be strong. Take courage. Don't be intimidated because God your God is striding ahead of you. He is right there with you. He will never let you down. He will never leave you.
And i forget where this is from.. but i remember it. :))

Don't give up that easy
Ok, we’re gonna make things short and sweet as I have already written this once. Thing have been really hectic and I think I’ve handled it all quite well. I’ve realized there ARE disadvantages for going to BMA one of them being that it’s one more threat that my mom can use against me as I have discovered today.
But the point of my writing right now isn’t gonna be that. I want to make a point that I had just come to another realization and it is one of Doll. Not a bad one of her or anything of course so don’t spaz ppl ;). But to start with I feel as if I have lost her all together- In both meanings. She’s almost always been around when I need her and she’s pretty much been around whenever I wanted to just talk. But I haven’t really been able to talk to her about anything since June really... It feels kind of like she dropped off the face of the planet even though I KNOW she is still here somewhere... and I’d call if I cold…. But it seems like ppl in general have been just dropping. First it was one friend then it was another… they up and decided not to talk to me anymore for whatever reason which they told me. Later it started to feel like doll was drifting but I thought ok... it’s just me. Then my dad died and THEN it was for real dolly... or at least it felt like she’s left me. Ok exaggeration. Then Laura and her marriage.. We talked less and less since 8th grd. Though but I feel the neglect. School friends too- they aren’t dropping out of my life but cause of BMA I wont talk to them nearly as much.. not like I ever really have but still. But without dolly at least before I leave I don’t know… But overall everything going on, me getting all my bma stuff.. I did a lot man! I did almost everything with some help from grandma for the memorial. I got all the food, did the pamphlets, the songs, the picture presentation, the editorial, the biography, ran the sound, did the invitations made the phone calls, got the transportation arrangements made for some, delt the with emotional anxiety of my mother, and so on.
As for BMA and school in general I did LOTS Of school shopping this week and came home almost every night around 10pm. I made all the appointments and arrangements to get that done and got my checklist together for that.. but that was my part anyway. After that, early Saturday morning 3am almost exactly I went to Hershey to take care of my aunt’s kids and her dog cause she had gone into the hospital at 2:30. That was an event in itself. Grandma provided transportation and I did all the rest- the consoling and the game plan and getting kids and dog together. So I kept them for maybe 2 days.. I don’t know they sorta ran together… But Saturday night I stayed up with the dog cause he wouldn’t shut up and my grandma needed sleep so that was fun. Shawn my bro ended up coming in with me cause I was watching him. (More on that in a minute) So that was fun.
This week has been full of activities! My mom decided to go on a 3day outing and not tell anyone so it was up to me to take care of shawn and get this flower arrangement and some food together and she couldn’t even handle that!! But anyway! She came back Saturday night and I guess decided to stay home. (She was gone from Thurs to sat.) When she came back there was all the after effects of her outing including the depression, the "its just too much” deal “I couldn’t handle it all” “ you don’t do anything for me around here” which I just received today. BUT twas all worth it because I was awaiting my auntie’s arrival in PA cause I decided to finish these arrangements with or without my mom’s presence and spend the afternoon with my auntie. But yea, after the week was through, I haven’t had a break break down, a crying spell, a drawn out depression or anxiety spell or a complete overwhelmed feeling leading to the giving up deal. I love being the adult and thinking logically and being able to get things done in a timely fashion and not let things or ppl get in my way and not giving up!! Heck no!! I do not give up! ;)) but I don’t think that should be something I’m proud of cause stubbornness isn’t cool. ;) But I didn’t give up and I owe it all to God for either giving me the gift or just plain giving me the strength. So praises to God! :)
I don’t know what I’m gonna do with/out net as my relaxation agent though.. I thank God for it and for my friends like Katie and Emily (all of them) and James for sending me countless smiles they don’t even know of.
