:D :) :D Okay, I am gonna start off this post by saying that this may be long (IDK yet) and it might get moved out of this forum, but I had to post it here so my Jersey would see it. Okay, let me start off by expressing my extreme excitement and happiness.:yay: :clap: :D :thumbsup: :dance: WOO-HOO, YIPEE!!!!!!! And anything else that could be used to express extreme joy and happiness. OK, so let me get to why I am soo happy. Well, I got a letter from Dave today. In it, he said that "I know we have talked about us getting married and we have mentioned about it. I know we have joked about it and all that sh**. But Jackie I love you soo much and you are the most important thing in my life. I am for real when I say that if you stick with me threw all of this, you can have my life. You are all I need and all I want. I love you soo much and I miss you ALOT. 'You are my sun during the day, and my moon at night'(remember when I used to say that to you) I really need you to know that I love you and you mean everything to me. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. We can do all the things we always talk about and plan on doing. We are gonna really shine. Just me and my baby." Well, then he goes on to write more about missing me and loveing me and all other stuff, but that is the part that really matters for this situation.(Thats copied right out of his letter. I love him sooo much, he's so sweet!!)
Okay, well, then I get a phone call today and its that annoying AT&T lady saying I have a collect call. (As for you that know, Dave wasn't suppose to call until Mon. after he went to classifications, which never happens, but still) Well, we get on the phone and we are talking about missing each other and he said he got my letter....Blah Blah Blah....then he says to me....:D
"Did you get my letter today?" and I say yes. And Dave says"Jackie, I am being dead serious, I gotta ask you something..." I was like what and I had no idea what it was. Then hes like "Jackie, will you marry me? Will you give me the honor of being my wife?" And I was soo shocked and suprised I sat there for a brief second b/c I had all tears in my eyes b/c I was soo happy and I was like "YES, YES I WILL!!!!" Then we both started to cry and he was like I love you soo much, you mean the world to me. And of course my a** has to question him to see if he was serious, b/c I was soo happy and didn't want it to just be a joke. I was like "Dave, are you really, really serious? YOur not just playing around right?" And he was just like "You are all I want in my life, you have shown me soo much and you are soo special to me. I don't want anything else, but for you to be my wife" So then I knew he was serious, b/c he said it in that tone of voice(you guys know the tone I mean...when you know they mean it) Well, then we kept talking and the phone did that annoying beep and he called me back. When he called back he was like "I am dead up(serious-in his thug terms) are you?" and I said "YES, yes I am". Then we continued to talk and it beeped again, but I didn't want to stop talking to him, b/c i was soo happy. So, he called back and we just talked about all the things we planned to be, and the way we imagine it, and all that stuff.
I am soo happy and excited right now. I know I just blabbed on about out conversation, but I can hear it in my head and I had to share it with everyone. OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't even know what to think. I am on cloud nine. It really hasn't set in, I am just shocked and happy and YIPPEE. Oh, I love him sooo much and I miss him soo bad. But its gonna be fine. We are gonna make it!!!!
WOW, I never imagined this happening. I know he's in jail, so it might not be the most romantic thing, but I couldn't ask for anything else. I am thinking now, as it is starting to set in.... I am only 19, what is my family going to think. Honestly, I don't even know if I should tell them, b/c all I am going to hear is sh** from them, and I don't want them to rouine anything. I want to tell everyone. I want to scream it from the roof tops. I know I am gonna get a lot of crap from my family and friends, b/c "hes in jail, hes not gonna be home until 2006, and yata yata yata.:blah: " OH WELL, I LOVE HIM AND HE LOVES ME AND THATS ALL THAT MATTERS.:D :) :D :heart: WOW, I CANT BELIEVE IT. I AM DAVE'S FIANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you to those who read this and listened to me blab on and on. I am just soo happy. If any of you have any advice on this whole thing, or on whether I should tell my family (esp. my mom, who will completely disagree) or who have anything to say, I would love to hear it.
YIPEE, WOO-HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :heart: :heart: :heart: Hugs:p

I'm just going to move this to the Engagement & Weddings Forum, so everyone at PTO will know. :D Congrats!

Congratulations!!!!!! I'm so happy for you!! :yay: :dance: :yay: :dance: :fb:

This is so wonderful. Ok, give us some more details. I love details. When is he coming home, are you going to wait or get married before he comes home. Let us know everything.

Congratualtions.

Congratulations!!!! :thumbsup:

:D CONGRATULATIONS :thumbsup:

Congratulations and good luck to you both! This is a situation that CAN BE DONE> I know it, I did it. You, standing beside him, is the way to show him how much you love him. He, not taking advantage of what you give, is the way for him to show you how much he loves you. In a situation like this, you realize how much people really take for granted. The simple things (holding hands!) means SO MUCH now. I wish you all the best. Hang in there. It's all worth it. Whatever anybody else says, well, let them say it. You know how you feel and you know him best. Congratulations!

Congrats and I wish you both the best!

Hey Ladies!!!!!!!!!! HeatherT, I figured it would be moved. I was thinking about putting it in the wedding/engagments forum, but I use the NJ forum as my home forum basically. I had to put it somewhere I knew my Jersey girls would see it.:) Okay, its been almost a full 24 hours now and I am still sooooo happy and excited, every time I think about it, I smile and get all gitty. I never pictured my self wating to settle down at this age. I was think more like 30 or something:rolleyes: But I have never been this in love, or comfortable with someone in my entire life. I just can't believe it. I definetly decided, after sitting up until 3am last night, thinking about Dave and this whole situation:idea: that I am going to wait until after Dave comes home, or atleast right before he comes home, to tell my family. I dont want them to ruin this terrific feeling that I have. I know that they won't accept it. They will think that I am crazy b/c he is in prison. They will say a whole bunch of stuff and this is all I basically have to say to them right now:blah: :nospeak: I am just soo happy!!!!! I have to do a small happy dance:clap: :yay: :dance: :hee: !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, for those of you who wanna know.... Dave will be maxing his sentence out. His max out date is Feb. 1, 2006. that is not counting any gain time, stuff like that. Dave mentioned it today, about getting married in prison, so he could prove to me that he is serious. I said, I didn't care. We are going to wait. I have no idea where and when we are getting married, but the more I find out, I will keep yous updated. I am soo happy to get all your blessings. Thank you soo much!!!! Hugs:p
-Jackie

:blah: AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am soo mad right now:angry: Well, I checked the NJDOC website last night. Now his max out date isn't until May 21, 2006!!!:eek: Why, I have no idea. I am waiting for him to call and explain this too me. :mad: I can't believe this. There better be a good explaination for this. I am just so mad right now. But, me and Dave are still terrific and we are still going to get married. The three more months aren't going to change anything between us. I love him to death, and we are perfectly fine.:) Thanks again for all your support.:D Hugs:p
-Jackie

Man Jackie....why did his Max out date get changed? Danielle told me that you PM'd her...Hope he tells ya what's up? HUGS....keiko

Keiko, I HAVE NOO IDEA!!!!!!! I am waiting on his call. He had to go to classificatons today too. It's 7:30 and he still hasn't called. I am starting to wonder what the heck is going on. He called around 2 o'clock, but hung up right away. I don't know whats going on. I am very frustrated right now. I just want to find out whats going on. If I don't get a call from him tonight, I will be sure to be on the phone in the morning (which involves me waking my lazy a** up early, but I'll do it for my baby) calling everyone and anyone that can answer my questions. I hope he calls. I hate worring and I am. Wish me luck that he calls. I need to know what is going on!!!!! Hugs:p

-Jackie

No Doubt Jackie...I'd be worried too...my Man still hasn't called...no Pin yet I suppose...Still no word on if he received any of my letters or the $ order and I'm such a chicken when it comes to making phone calls. I really don't know what to do. HUGS...Keiko

jackie id be flippin too. why did u guys have such a short call? let me know whats goin on and its 8:30!! whre are u!!

Don't worry I am here. Okay, the newest info that I got. I just got of the phone(well, 3 phone calls;) ) This afternoon when he called my grandma had picked up at the same time, so he hung up before I could accept it. Then he called back tonight, finally.:) He didn't get to go to classifications today.:mad: He did have to meet with this guy from the Special Investigations Dept. or something like that:eek: See when he wwas in Annadale he had to go to their gang unit, b/c they found lessons in his room (some of the things that gang members say and stand for). Well, he also has a gang related tatoo on his arm. So, the guy said to him that if he is involved in ANY typr of gang activity he will be transfered to Northern State gang unit. :( He had to sign this paper saying that he was warned of this and he is aware that if he is involved in gang activity his 340 comp. time will be added on to his sentence. Now this is making me worry, b/c I know he won't start any, but he will get involved if any of his "boys" are involved. So, now he will being to classifications later this week.:cool: I am getting soo frustrated with the DOC. I can not wait for him to get outta prison!!!!!!!!!
As for the additional time. I think I posted in one of my updates that he was explaining to me all these things and I was getting really confussed:confused: so I told him to figure this out, and tell me what the date was gonna be. Well, b/c he was on the run for 3 months (a little bit more) they added it on. The Feb. 1, 20006 date was his original date, before he went on the run. So, now they added the time onto it. B/C he wasn't in the DOC system for that long, he has to spend that much time onto it. Like he said, if he was on the run for a year, they would add a year. New Jersey DOC has to make sure he does all the time, they can't let him not do it. I am getting soo frustrated!!!!!:blah:
But, Dave and I are still great. I just have to hope that he won't be involved in any of that gang s*** now. For crying out loud, like I don't got enough to worry about. I can't believe that they might add 340 days to his sentence if he does any gang activity. No wait, yes I can believe it, but I don't like it one bit. They just added 3 months and thats hard enough to swallow. I just need some luck. Hey, I guess it could be worse, right?:o Hugs:p
-Jackie

YAAAAAAAAAY!!! *jumping up and down for ya* :yay: :yay: :yay: :yay: :yay:

CONGRATULATIONS on the biggggggg news!

Thanks Jess!!!! I know I am soo excited, I am just a little annoyed and nervous about this whole situations with the 3 months being added and the possible 340 days hanging over his head. I will flip out if he does any gang activity in there. He better hope they don't let him out for those 340 days if he f***s around. B/C I will beat him up:ham: and that is the truth. Haha. No, but besides all that I am still sooo sooo sooo happy:yay: You could not even imagine. Thanks for the support!!! Hugs:p
