FINALLY!!! Tomorrow I am going to see my husband for the first time in over 2 months...I am sooo excited, I can't wait.

Anyway, since this is my first visit to him...any advice (as far as what not to do/or to do) would be appreciated.

Oh good for you Marie! I am going to see my guy for the first time in nearly 13 years on February 15th so I am extra-excited about everyone else's first visits lately! Let us know how it goes and enjoy your visit!!! :)

Marie,

Where's he at? Watch what the others do. Don't wear anything too tight--no spandex etc... Nothing provacative. You can bring in ten dollars in quarters. FOLLOW THE OTHERS AND DO WHAT THEY DO. You may even want to tell another woman who's a visitor that it's your first time and ask her questions on what to do. Each facility is a little different in Michigan---even if they're the same level. Enjoy and I hope it's an awesome visit! Bring your driver's license and I alwayys have the pink co-py of the approval in the jeep just in case someone gives us trouble.

Marie- YAY! How exciting for you!!! Since I just had my first visit, what Deb said is absolutely true. Do what other people do! And, ask someone else that is there if you have any questions. Since I couldn't get my locker open, a couple of the women knew it was my first time, and they helped me out. Good luck and let us know how it goes!!! :)

Thanks for all the good wishes!!!

It...was....great!!! I can't tell you how wonderful it was to see him, hug him, give him a kiss, hold his hand...and have a complete conversation without rushing! And I'm so proud of myself..I did not cry once..not even when I had to leave.

The c/o's there were very nice and helpful. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted...this is the happiest my heart has been in weeks!!!

:D
