Hey all my Bama family!! First of all...I wanna say I hope everyone has a great weekend.
Okay...do any of you know what the hold up could be on them moving Kevin to Hamilton WR. They told him he would leave this past week (for "sure)...well, as far as I know...he's still at Limestone (as of Wednesday he was I know). Then I looked on the DOC website and it is still saying Limestone C.F. It really makes me mad cause the captain told him that there was no need in Kevin giving him that new visitation form cause he wouldn't be there for me to visit on his next visit day (which is TODAY) :argh: But...I KNOW there is nothing I can do about it! Kevin said he figured he was just having to wait for them to get a bed open at Hamilton but...this guy I know that is in Hamilton...said that they have actually "put away" some of the beds cause so many people have left so...I don't THINK that's the hold up. Hmmm...I don't know, maybe I'm over-reacting. The captain DID say that if, for some reason, Kevin wasn't gone by next visit (the 23 I think) that he "promised" he would let me visit. But...I would alot rather have him closer to me...ya know? I don't know...guess I'm just venting!

Hey Selena, I don't know what the hold up could be. But I think someone told me they only update the DOC website on like Monday evenings. But I could be wrong on that, maybe you could check it again Monday evening. You know you and Kevin both are my thoughts and prayers. I hope that they move Kevin close to you soon girl. Keep your head up and take care I am here if you need to talk.
Love ya,
Brandy

Thanks, Brandy!! I THINK they update it on Fridays...I know the date on there is May 7th...I don't know. I got a letter (and card) from him today and he said that HOPEFULLY he'll leave next week...Lord knows I hope so!
Thanks for everything though, girl...and you know I'm here for you whenever you need me also...and you and Mike are both always in my thoughts and prayers!!
huggs,
Selena

Hang in there Girl. You should know by now that Doc takes it sweet time in processing paperwork...They do it when they just dang well please and not a minute sooner. I think personally they like to agravate us that are on the outside. I know that asking you to have patience is like telling a little kid they can't have the rest of their icream cone, but try hard and keep your chin up. he'll get there just as soon as he can. Got you too in my prayers over the weekend!

Thanks...we really appreciate the prayers. I'm tryin' my best to be patient...but...my patience is wearing REALLY thin these days!! :( We'll be okay though...he keeps saying "baby...they can't keep us away from each other forever..just always remember that." He keeps ME from going insane...when it should be the other way around....:)
Selena

could it be the same thing the lady at the parole board told me about joe, that they only ship out on mondays, and his first avaible date will be the 17th....thats what she told me late thurs afternoon. and thats if the halfway house called that afternoon if they waited till fri to call he would go out the 24th....

Hmmm...it may be!!! :( I have no idea. I wonder if there is a number I could call about that...ya know...to see when he is supposed to be transferred. I doubt they would tell me that (even if they knew) for "security reasons"!! Yeah...like I'm gonna try and help him escape...LOL...I want him HOME...not having more time...PLUS...I don't want myself in there...ya know! I still wonder if I could call somebody and ask...if anyone knows...please fill me in! :)
Selena

call ms dayhood at the board, her number is 334-242-8726 she is in charge of placement so im sure if she cant help you she will know who can

Thanks, ragland!!! I think I'll call her tomorrow...should I be prepared to get my head bitten off or anything??? (If so...I'd like to know if advance...that way it won't take me by surprise....and I won't go off!!) :) (just kidding)
Selena

nope, she was just as pleasant as all of them at the board have been to me i have yet to run into one problem

Well...I just got off the phone with Ms. Dayhood (and she was VERY nice...thank God!!). Anyway...she told me that they don't have any control over WHEN he gets transferred from Limestone to Hamilton. That is totally up to the DOC (ooo good!!) :( So...she told me to call Limestone or Hamilton either one and ask them. I have had bad luck talkin' to the people at Limestone AND Hamilton...well, I don't even wanna get started on them. They gave us soo much trouble last time he was there and THAT is the ONLY reason I dread him goin' to Hamilton WR. But...I'm just happy as I can be that he'll only be 15 minutes away from me...I'll put up with their BS!! :) I wonder if the DOC office themself could help me...or should I call and try and talk to his classification officer at Limestone. Would he get in trouble or anything (lord knows I don't want that). I wouldn't even know WHAT to ask them...do I ask them WHEN he's leaving or WHY he didn't go last week like he was supposed to??? (I'm just confused). Oh yeah...she said that they could be transferred any day of the week...that on paroles they always get released on Monday (unless it's a holiday) so...who knows? I guess I won't know he's been moved..until I get a letter from him (from Hamilton). :( BTW: If I send him letters to Limestone...and he gets moved before they get there...will they send them back to me...or will they "forward" them to Hamilton??? That is one of the main things I'm worried about...ya know? Especially ones I sent off Friday, Saturday, and today...they had pictures and stuff in there and I just don't want them to "get lost"...ya know? Thanks for everything...everybody! I'm just a mess right now...I haven't seen him in over 10 months and it's driving me crazy!!!!! Hopefully though...I'll be seeing him really soon. I had a break-down last night...watching an old movie (hope floats). I was fine throughout the whole movie...until the very end when she runs out to him and they drive off. I lost it and started cryin'...holding on to his shirt that I sleep with. I FINALLY got to sleep around 4:30am and had to get up at 6:30 to babysit my niece and nephew.
Sorry to ramble on...it's just hard...as all of you already know. Thanks for listening to me whine! :(
huggs,
Selena

Hey girlie calm down, what up how ya been. they will return his mail to you if he leaves thats too much trouble i guess they think to transfer it. so tell me what is visitation like at wr centers i know you know. I think your best bet would be to try calling his classifications officer. he shouldnt get in trouble that way the only she or he could say is i cant tlk to you. then i would just take that without a scene. good luck

Selena, When Mike was at Kilby and got transfered to Limestone they forward his letters that I sent out while he was being tranfered to him at Limestone so Maybe they would do the same when Kevin gets moved to Hamliton.

Yep... they usually forward letters within the DOC.... it might take a little while but he'll get 'em eventually....

Hey missinu...I'm alright...whats been up with you, girlie!! :) About WR visits...I only been to one...and that was Mobile. Drove 8 hours (or more) and only got to visit for 30 minutes!!! (yep..ticked me off). But, when Kevin was at Hamilton last time...I didn't go to visitation...they wouldn't let me cause of how we met. So...I went to his job every night (sat in the parking lot like a stalker waiting for the "big white van" to pull up) and went back every morning when he got off. That's how we seen each other then. And when they (the WR guys) got laid-off from work...I would drive down this little dirt road beside the camp and we would wave and blow kisses at each other. We could've got into some REALLY big trouble on that one though cause...sometimes he'd RUN out to my car...give me a quick kiss...and RUN back over to the tables. Thank GOD...they didn't ever see that!! :)
