Update about England!!

So I do have a major update about what I am going to be doing this coming fall... 
as many of you know I was planning on moving to Montana sometime this summer... not with my family, just out on my own, work there and rent an apartment for a year to get residency rights and then go onto MSU(Montana State University)... if I was not accepted into England's Torchbearer School.... but on Monday, April 14th my mom called me saying that I had recieved an envelope from Capernwray, at the time I was   out with Lacey finding her a prom dress... So I waited till I got home to open it. I was actully very nervous that I would find that I was not accepted, and prepared for the worst. But I got home, sat on my bed, and prayed that God would give me strength either way. When I opened the letter I read "OFFICAL ACCEPTANCE LETTER" it was amazing! God has really answered my prayers and those who have been praying about this as well!!
  I am planning on going to the school.. it starts September 27th and ends March 10th. But I will be leaving sometime early September 20th something so that I can catch up on the whole 9 hour difference. and tour around the school with people that are going there as well. 
  There is already a bunch of people that I have recently gotten/getting to know that are going this year to the same school. It really is amazing too see how thrilled we are all, and how much we all want to get out of this!! It is going to be a once in a lifetime experience!! I really want to thank Zack Schlottman, one of my closest guy friends for telling me about it, and Savannah. She was a former Caper student, and has answered so many questions and been there so much! It truly is an answer to prayer.
I am unsure as to when I will be coming back, it is only a one year school... unfortuntly. but I am planning on only going to the winter school. but I may end up going to the spring school as well!! who knows I am really just giving it to the Lord.
I really need a second job, to raise money. All in all I need about $7000 more that will pay for everything. But please just pray that I am able to get enough money before hand, cause the last thing I want to do is take out a student loan. 
Thanks for all those who have prayed, and thought about me and everything that is going on with this and other things lately it is truly a blessing!!!!
Oh and for all those who know me... this DOES mean that I WON'T be DRIVING for at least 7 months... to me that kinda stinks... okay a lot!! but to the rest of you... you probebly all started laughing and said I can finally drive without worrying about running into Jessica... haha. in all seriousness though... thanks to everyone who has been there for me, praying for me, and thinking about this!!! I really appreciate it!
