Greetings fellow PTO'ers for the Arizona Forum. Just wondering how everyone's new month of October is starting off. I have had my hands full during the whole month of September and October looks to be about the same. BUT, I will not dwell on the negative. I want to hear how all the rest of us are doing. So post your UPS and DOWNS and all them In-Between instances that make your day great or NUTS!

OH HELL YEAH!!!!!
:rock: :rock: :rock:

Well my October is better than September. My visitation paperwork got screwed up with my husband's transfer to Oklahoma, but the people who work out there are super nice and got it all squared away for me. I guess from what my honey says, Diamondback is tons better than Lewis. He says he is treated much better and that over all he is doing better there. So that is good even though it is so very far.

My month started real good. The first letter of my new pal from Arizona arrived in the mail last Monday. Well actually it's the second letter she sent but the first to arrive. I immediately wrote back yesterday - I'm so happy! :)

Hello all.. could be so much better over here. My honey was suppose to be starting probation in January but now it has moved to March. Looked on the website and it side TR ineligible. I just sat there thinking, dang what happened? I think he might have challenged common sense or something because I haven't heard from him in a week and he is usually on the ball when it comes to writing.

Still waiting on visitation approval... it has been a month and a half and this waiting game is crap. I wrote to him and was having an anger moment and now I am feeling bad...:( It wasn't so bad when I thought he was getting out in January but now the option isn't until March and he is going to still have to do 6 months in county. I'm just depressed, angry and confused. I feel horrible that I feel I am falling to pieces and that I feel like my life is being built on quicksand. It could be worse but I think the waiting and being alone is finally getting to me. Grrr... What is wrong with me? I have never felt so unstable in my life.....

Thanks for letting me vent, I didn't realize how much I needed that.

October is here!! Hooray!!

Well, my October is starting out, pretty good, so far. It's only the first week still. I go to visit him on Sunday the 8th. He gets out this month on October 29th, which is a Sunday. So, not very many visit days left. I can't wait until he is out. But I am sure my October will be great. Hope everyone's October is good, too. Take care and God bless you all. :)

My October is going great..My soon to be husband (yes he did ask me to marry him) is in Rast Unit in Lewis prison..I will be seeing him this Sunday...Im so excited...All is well with me and him...

October's a bit of a let down after September, but not too bad. No visits this month :( , but will be moving closer soon. Working like a dog to get ready to move...who knew you could cram this much stuff into this small of a house!! Nerves about the move probably contributing to the apprehension I'm feeling lately about our relationship. I'm solid, but hope it's not all in vain. Geez, I'm as gloomy as the weather 'round here today! :)

We're doing ok. Still hanging tough. Alan is still at Winslow and who knows when I'll get to see him again. We've had a few bumps in the road in the last few weeks, but those only make us stronger. I'm looking towards the future and trying to be postive. I'm just so damn tired. Work is tiring, but rewarding. Loving my man is the same!
Hope all is well with everybody.

P.S. Thanks for getting our October check-in started, Nancy :grouphug:

I have been traveling for 3 weeks and haven't been posting. I see some new faces here and miss some familiar ones.

I have penpals and they seem to be doing the same. A couple have been realeased and one has gotten a lawyer and is trying to transfer out of AZ because he has had it with the system. They won't even allow him to have his glasses.

Guess it is time to buy Halloween cards.

And peanut butter kisses--love those things!!!

Well come to fall. HA HA here in Phoenix it will be 90 degrees today. Well Ray and I have had a few ups and downs the last feww weeks. He is now in Morey Unit at Lewis (at least they didn't transfer hime 400 miles away Yet) We are still waiting to see is he has any other charges. This is all so new to me that I am really stressing out but trying to put it in the Lord's had. Heaven know I have no power over that stupid system. I was told that we might get non-contact visits back on October 23rd, sure hope so. I love the way he tells me not to worry. Like that is going to happen. Well all I can say is thank heaven for PTO cause here I can come and vent or just read and realize that I am not out here all by myself. Everyone have a good month and take care of yourselves.:twocents:

Hi PTO, I came back to PTO after being gone for some time. Im your good CO that can help out if I can in the Florence Prison North Unit.

My October has been wonderful. My Hubbie came home on 9/24. He is working, and our lifes are pretty much back to normal. We just rode the Harley last week-end from Payson to Cottonwood-Jerome and back to Payson, it was a beautiful Saturday. I can't wait for this week-end it's his birthday and we will be celebrating:D
