So whats been up lately.. Just enjoying my summer.. but now with alot more freedom.. Its gonna be somewhat of a drag tho, cause Katy gets her wisdom teeth out today.. But I wont mind really..

I finally have gotten a chance to sleep intoday.. (no work, no darien lake, no church (i can go in the evening), no reason to get up in the morning ) so that was finally good to get some rest.

Maybe today I will actually have time to clean and get some work done and mail some stuff.. thats if I dont get a billion phone calls... ehhh.. Well it is good to be so close to God, and so happy at the same time, and any suffering there is, it doesnt even seem to bother me... God Bless you and keep you all always :) Shalom......

Yahoo.. goin to Darien Lake tomorrow, it will be my first time this year.. Im getting really excited about going to Steubenville.. It is definately the place of wholistic growth. So I am quite happy.. My water aerobics lady took me to McDonalds for hot chocolate so that was nice.. and thats it for now.. I think i'll go see my grandmother tonight..


God Bless you and Keep you...

Well today has been a great day

Today I went to Therapy with Lili ..
for those of you who dont know.. I had been going since March or Aprilish... I went due to the fact that five close people died to me in on year, being adopted, having some friends who made it worse, stuff in the family, and all of that led me to dealing with it in an unhealthy way.. So I got meself some help.. I was told my case is closed and I am doing alot better. Im independant, aware of the temptation of false guilt (but knowing where its due as well) able to deal with my folks, and all around happy..

It was so good to finally not be takenadvantage of , to not let people make me feel guilty (whether they recognized it or not) and everything is amazing, and I know the answers are in side..

I called Fr Marion today.. That was really nice to hear from him again.. He was really excited and happy to hear about the Pope and him seeing the Rosary Hour sign, and how we actually got it up with sticks necklaces and all sorts of wierd stuff. He then talked to my parents, told me more about how happy I will be at school.. and all that jazz..

So my Babci came over and so did heather and katy.. We hung out for some time, pritch came over so we watched shawshank redemption...... as I quoted quite a bit of the movie... SHUSH!
then they left... and i brought her hhome lataz. and now I am back to find that Michele from the retreat messaged me, and I was gone
:( but Im glad i just didnt sit on my butt today..

>Note to self >>> Check the balance of ur checking account..

Well thats it for now..

I prolly should get some sleep soon..

Good night God Bless

Katy just left.. I just found out I am getting taken out to breakfast.. word up yo..... oh yeah.. for those of you that know Peter, I saw him get his simple vows.. Which means he has commited himself to being a friar for 3 years and after that will decide for the rest of his life.. dobranos

Wow.. words can not describe all that happened at world youth day... The people I met there, the experiences I had, the actual physical closeness i got to the Holy Father.. It was all amazing.. If I were to try it would be better in person.. So if u wanna know meet up with me or call 3-4107

Well I have 8 billion people to email so

God Bless

So today was rather interestings. I went to bed around 3am... Watch a movie with Tammy Dave and Heather.. Got up around 830,
went to Wally World.. Saw Ashleys mom.. Got my oil changed, bought some bird seed and dried apricots, and also cashed my check at the bank.. Went home, hung out for a while.. Then I went to Saint Alphonsos for Mass, hoping to see my grandmother that.. Who ended up being late (her granddaughters wedding shower is tomorrow) so she went to a 5 oclock mass at Saint Marys.. She never misses mass.. Well I went home and katy galloway calls (am I spelling her last name right? ) well anyways the 4 of us heather and dave to hang out.. THen Katy and I just kinda snuck away and it wa s really happy night... i doubted it would be but wow it was...

On my way back to Paris, one of the people I met on the way was a Bosnian Opera singer named Adema.. She and I have become good friends and here is part of her letter to me about life in Bosnia during the war. Something to think about...

"""
...... I am sorry to hear that you lost so many dear persons in such a short period of time. I guess it's one of the exames that HE prepares for us. I know so well what you are talking about. Hey, I survived 4 years of war... but many of my friends didn't. Immagine, every day, for 4 years, all you do is await the news about who died next. All of them so young. And there is nothing you can do about it, except accept it. But, if you really believe in things much higher and mightier than ourselves, than you won't have any problems accepting it. You know, my grandmother, several days before she died, knew exactly that she was going to die, and was so peacefull, because finally, she said, she was going to a better place. Anyway, it is great that you managed to overcome these things and that you don't have to .....
"""

Well I am really glad I didnt get a part time job this summer.. I find it is really hard to find a set time with other people who do.. there were 4 of us, and between the 3 that worked we couldnt get to Darien Lake .. although if pritch gets tomorrow off we might.. so anyways today was interesting, I woke up really late as usual.. Then Pritch Heather and katie came over.. and wow we had fun, and all that other stuff.. me have fun. no way.. anyways thats about all that happened...

I leave for Toronto Sunday afternoon/morning.. I'll practice with our groups praise and worship band (by the way we are one of the largest groups going at the # of about 110. So Sunday we start out with our cook out, welcome stuff, Prais and worship/holy hour, then Private Ador. and confessions..

The next day monday we have a mass with Bishop Grosz, then leave to toronto then the regular WYD stuff for the week, and i think Friday we will be going to that amusement park place.. then we head back to St Francis in Buffalo the next sunday night, more praise and worship
and then i come home.. so I will be back monday afternoon..

God Bless and Peace...

AM I leaving thursday or Sunday, that is a good question, because now I have no clue.. If you see me on, tomorrow (tuesday) remind me... Steubenville has been long awaited and is little more than a month away.. I wonder if I should work on increasing my ultimate frisbee skills.. Hmmm what else, I saw black hawk down again at pritches,, i think we are going skiing tomorrow, thats if i can get ahold of someone.. mmm I could go for some home made potatoe pancakes mmmmm dont ask why.. Well not that I have re-obtained my sanity fully I think I will start enjoying life and people... and for the first time, a girl gave me her #.. not like anything will come of it.. but it was still pretty kewl to get it with out asking.. yeah... well I gotta go...


OH... Adema, I dont know if you even read this, but Happy Birthday..

Well.. just incase ur wondering why theres no Europe info.. thats cause u have to ask if u wanna know..

A little about Europe.. I was on my own from about June 29thish on.. Well after I broke the chains that bound me from going anywhere (this happened outside and inside) I experienced quite a bit.. and I met tons of people, infact every train I rode and every place I stayed I became close.. Inparticular on the trains.. In fact one girl decided to show me around all over Milano for the day, and I also met and became close with a Bosnian Opera singer named Adema, and u all know about daniela as well.. Well those were the most important at the end.. Well anyways Im quite free from guilt, and have been quite happy... Infact, it couldnt have happened at a better time.. Lili, for those of you who knw that story, said not to worry about finding another option when I leave because things are so well and figured out.. Well I am not going to explain it here for the sake of not embarrassing anyone, but if you;d like to know let me know..
So anyways when I came back I was even able to have a real convo with dave.. I dont think we ever did that.. actually everything seems to be working out so well, and so much more clear.. im able to enjoy myself, and be really happy. wounds still hurt, but happiness can still be there as well.. im proof.. well Saturday I DJ'ed with Jane for a wedding, helping her and stuff.. The whole place was totally impressed with us, and some of the comments the photographer heard were "Wow they look like they are enjoying themselves" .. "they must have gotten the best"...
oh yeah and one guy told me I looked like I had been DJ'ing since I was ten.. he was really shocked when i told him it was my first time.. Yeah so Jane and I had a really good time,a nd enjoyed ourselves quite a bit.. The bride was so beautiful.. I mean I wanted to faint.. she was supermodel beautiful, but drop dead gorgeous real life wow... anyways everything was so beautiful and a yellow bird was flying around during the wedding.. the only problem was the heat and the sauce on my shirt... So I came home and went to my neighbors house.. Their daughter Amy was home from DC (she works for some senator or something) and Monica , my neighbors sister who used to be a nun was there as well.. So i was glad to see them and have fun with them.. Sunday I had to direct mass and sing and all that.. and once a gain people tried to convince me to stay and all that.. but i have to move on.. so after mass, was the picnic, I helped at the Polish food booth.. We sold out of everything but Keilbasa (pron. Cabasa)

Well today is monday and I am relaxing.. and just to warn you
Dave and I leave for 10 days for wyd on thursday...

Shalom!

oh yeah im going back to Europe in June, and the Corrs already emailed me.. but theres no scheduled dates set.. oh yeah im getting there best hits CD imported :-O

Well i dont know what else is going on other than that...

God Bless
