Back to Quilting
May 30th, 2008 | Posted by Nichole | Category: Life3 Comments
I’m back to quilting again. I have been working on this quilt for quite a few hours today. The quilt top is done and now I am just working on the backing. I realized that I didn’t have enough of one fabric to do a solid back, but that I do have a bunch of scrap pieces and leftover pieces from the front of the quilt. So I am doing some random piecing on the back. It will look very interesting when I’m done. Basically the quilt will be reversible. I would love to have it done soon so that my room will be completely finished. Everything else is done. In fact, I am sleeping in our new house for the first time tonight. It is just me and my brother out here at the moment. Our family will be living between two houses until our other house sells, hopefully soon. I will probably be back and forth between the two houses over the next few days. On Monday I am heading out for a week long camping trip with soon youth from our church, and then from there to Montana on a 2-3 day road trip. Life is going to be crazy as soon as June starts. Crazy is good though. I love summer.
Summer is approaching fast…
May 6th, 2008 | Posted by Nichole | Category: Life1 Comment
It is hard for me to believe how fast summer is approaching. April flew by and I know that May will be the same way. Lot’s of things have been going on since my last post and tons more happening this month. One of things I decided that I will not cheat by posting “catch-up” posts. So no more posts for the days I skipped. It should help keep me from procrastinating or at least honest about not having time to post a certain day. I’ve also decided to take each day as they come and not beat myself up over things I was not able to accomplish during a day. If I forgot to post on my blog yesterday is it really a huge deal?
Last weekend I went on a trip with our youth group to the E. Free Youth North-Central Districts Conference in Rochester, MN. It was lots of fun and very challenging. Myself and the three other girl’s and my room decided to challenge ourselves to get up in the morning, 6:30 am on weekdays, and do half an hour of prayer, Bible reading, and memorization before our days got started. This has been something that I have felt God calling me to do for a while, but I have not wanted to surrender those extra minutes of sleep to Him. Finally surrendering and spending that time with Him first thing in the morning has been such a blessing and really helps me to focus my day on my Savior.
We are moving! It’s official. We will be moving out to Lost Timber Bible Camp as on-site managers. We have gotten the house pretty much ready to be moved in. I think we have painted every inch of that house. We will start taking things out there and have a big move sometime later in the month. You can pray that this house sells soon. So if I’m not blogging you know what I’m doing. We are moving.
Lastly, I did get my blog mostly switched over to Wordpress. It’s great. I still have some posts to edit and pictures to move but that can happen later on. I’m also looking for my camera, I think one of my siblings has it. When I find it I’ll have pictures for my blog posts.
Graduation Day

Ready to go Home
Marine Graduation Day was very cool. Lots of pomp and ceremony. We arrived on base at 7:00 saw the guys in their dress uniform, got Starbucks, went to the Colors Ceremony, and then the Graduation Ceremony. Seeing the guys showing off was cool. Lots of marching and no smiling. Then Andrew was ours for 10 days!
We should be on our way home at the moment, hopefully getting in sometime later this afternoon. 36 hours on the road. I will be knocked out.
Family Day

Eating Dinner with Andrew.
Thursday was a very early day. 5 am was our departure time. We got to the San Diego Recruit Depot at around 7. Our first view of Andrew was seeing his platoon sitting and then they marched right by us and we got to see them practice. We had Starbucks on base, went to the orientation, and then got to see the guys run by us in the Moto Run. I cried and I am a very unemotional person. It was just so good to see him after so long. After the ceremony we had 5 hours of time to spend with Andrew on base. He’s stands a little taller but is still much the same. But I can tell that it has been a really good experience for him. Tomorrow I’ll post the graduation day pictures.
