ALMOST NEW YEAR'S

We had such an awesome weekend...we don't usually get two visits back to back, but I had a bad feeling Thursday night that told me not to go on Friday (which was the original plan).  It turns out that my feeling was right: They had an accident in the visitation waiting area where the emergency pepper sprays diffused. I'm glad I missed that!  So, I visited Saturday and Sunday. We missed each other terribly Sunday night and today. I know it will be even worse by the end of next weekend since I will be visiting twice more. Four visits in nine days will be so great, but it makes it that much more painful.

The good news is, it's almost January! We are hoping to hear from the parole board in January, so with each day that passes, we both grow more and more excited.  Of course I will post once I get the news.

HOLIDAY BLUES AND LOCKED DOWN AGAIN

We still have not heard from the parole board, so I'm expecting something in January (if they are not backlogged).  It's been October since they received Jason's file for parole consideration.  His dorm has been locked down since Thursday...I have no idea why and probably won't get any details until they are out and I have heard from him.

I've been having the holiday blues, and this just makes it worse.  I hate going days with no contact, and I know he is stuck in his cell with nobody to talk to but his roommate.  At least this time he has some books to read.

I need him to come home.  I really do.  I was hoping some way some how they would let him come home before Christmas.  That might still happen...Of course, I will post here as soon as I hear something!
