Okay it has taken all of me to wait until this 90 day mark to countdown. We have waited 20 months so far, I am sure in comparison to some that is nothing but it has felt like forever. I didn't realize how the time would slow down as it has gotten closer to freedom. I told Nick last night wouldn't it be nice if they would sell you your last ninety days, I would pay anything to buy them out. WEW its almost over....2005 is our year to finally move forward and put this all behind us. Love ya Angie

It's getting close! Congrats!!!!!!!!!

You're not going to annoy us #grins# It's like waiting for Christmas when we were kids - the anticipation is half the fun, and for those of us who cant count for ourselves yet - we get the fun of counting with you.

90 days and lookin' good ;)

I remember when I told Nick if we just made it through 2004, 2005 would be a breeze. 88 days to go!!! I do not think he will be moved out here by CHristmas :( BUt he will be home soon. If they get him moved by Jan I can see him every weekend which will really help this time fly!!! Love ya angie

Hey Angie:
Congrats!!!! I know, I know the having sex thing is big-- not just for the sex, but for the closeness, the ability to hold the man you love without anyone telling you it violates a rule or whatever--incidentally-- I did read the story on Castle of Hope, I am a member too. Wow, what a bogus case!!! Anyway, I do have a question for you-- my guy has been away since 4/03 (not out, barring the sucess of any appeal, until 12/07) and I already feel like being intimate with him will feel strange, like I have to get to know him that way again-- do you feel that or is it just me? I do only think about him, want him etc, but we only had 2 years together before he went in and now I guess the best way to describe how I feel is "shy". Anyway post or PM if you want-- I guess this confuses me.

I get clamy palms everytime I think about being naked with Nick are you kidding? I am hoping he will just take control so that way I will not ruin it. You know what I mean. I know Nick would freak if suddenly I went limb on him, that definately wasnt how I was before. Nick and I call it our second first time. We are lucky to have two first times. This time will be filled with much more love and emotion then our first first time. Now whos confused huh? HA HA HA Just wait until you feel comfortable, maybe it wont be on the first day. I told Nick to go easy on me but I imagine ripping his damn clothes off too. WHOO HOOO in 88 days I will be nakes with Nick, all shy and clamy but I will be naked with him. Love ya Angie

I cant wait to hear about his coming home!!!

Hey Angie:
OK THEN!! I do get what you are saying-- I hope my guy does the same-- actually, I think they live in the past ALOT-- he seems to think we just had this little "time out"---anyway-- congrats again, honey-- and thanks for your input!

81 days and a wake up my friends....I am slowly moving along. I have come down w/Broncitis and it seems to be messing with my spirit here. The DOC seems to rush to move someone when you do not want it, but they are taking forever to get Nick here to Wartburg. We are hoping he will be here the first week of Jan. I am so ready for my man to be home. Love ya Angie

hey baby girly! just wanted to say hey and you are flying thru those days like they aint nothin! its clong soon girl! love, ashtynn

Thanks honey. I am trying to focus on knocking the days out. You are almost there too. 25 days wow!!! After your man comes home I will have 56 days and a wake up!!! I am counting everything. I am off to the doc maybe he can knock out this funk bug and I can have a more positive additude here. Thansk again love ya Angie

hey baby girly! just wanted to say hey and you are flying thru those days like they aint nothin! its clong soon girl! love, ashtynn

As haswtch and others said:
It never should have happened but it's almost over (although in some sense it never goes away)! I am delighted for you both...may all your dreams come true and may the wait pass as quickly as possible. Big Hug for you both.

I'm so happy for you! 82 days :):):)

hey darling! 80 more days and the hubby is home! better start buffing up on those cooking skills! lol love ya!

And the countdown continues...

It won't be long now until you have him back with you where he belongs. What an exciting time, I remember it well. Keep us posted.

Hugggz,
Patty

HA HA HA I will definately try. I cheated and bought a crock pot. I might be able to wing it. Love ya Angie

hey darling! 80 more days and the hubby is home! better start buffing up on those cooking skills! lol love ya!

Thanks Patti it just doesnt go by fast enough. I think we have dealt with ore crap during this last stretch then the whole time rolled in one. I know i am lucky we are so close so I trying my best not to whine. We have been waiting for them to move him, he signed his transportation papers to come to Brushy. They are just dragging their feet. when he comes he will be 50 minutes from home and I can visit every weekend that way the time will fly by faster. But you know the DOC HURRY UP AND WAIT. Good thing Nick and I were both in the ARmy we learned to do that well. Thanks so much and love ya angie

And the countdown continues...

Hey, Angie, there is nothing wrong with counting down the days til' you get to "DO THE DO" shoot, I can't wait to count down the days I get to have sex with my husband either. And of course it is not all about the sex, but it's a good part of it. LOL.. Anyways, I hope that everything that comes you and Nick's way is nothing but blissful and brings you both joy, it might be hard for him-but I pray for you guys to live a happy life, you deserve it, he definately deserves it.
Kesha

So happy for you :)

Thank you ladies. I have this crazy mix of emotion. I feel like I am on emotional overload. I am crawling...literally. Last night I had a female moment and cried and cried on the phone to Nick, as if he needed it right? I try so hard not to do it, but last night I literally lost it. He kept asking what was wrong, I couldnt even talk inbetween sobs. I told him I afraid...afraid he wouldnt need me anymore. He says, "Lady you are crazy!!! You saved my life." Then next I told him it was like I worried about everything, what if what if what if...I have never done this before. I have worried and it passed quickly but never like these. The feelings are overwhelming. I told him what if he didnt like the way I hung the curtains, just to give him a good idea in one phrase how I was feeling. He said, "Oh yes if you dont use the little rings instead of the curtain rods I will not be coming home, he said come on my love, I dont even have curtains now, just to have curtains will be a plus for me." It is crazy the emotion I am experiencing right now. As you can see it is a night of insomnia. Thanks again and thanks for listening to me babble on. Love ya Angie

Angie


It's going to be fine and Nick sounds like a great and understanding man.
PS I am not a lady but a man too, remember? ....and I have been known to cry also. Big Hug...and go to sleep!

Thank you I am taking my rear to bed actually right now. I need some sleep NIck is understanding. He is patient. I couldnt ask for a better man. I think that is why it is so scarey to be so damn in love and after all of this finally we will be happy but the fear that you will wake up and it will all be a dream is still there. We never thought Nick would go to jail and later he did it was if he would never come home and our nightmare would never be over. Reality is gettin near, I am ready and wish to buy his last 79 days. Love ya angie

It is 2005 whoo hoo!! HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVEYONE!!! I remember like it was yesterday when Nick and I said if we can just knock out 2004, 2005 would be a breeze. Looking back it really did go by fast, although while I was knocking it out I didnt see it that way. Congrats in everyone knocking out another year, and I cant help but shout out. I WILL BE HAVING SEX IN 2005, I havent seen Nicks penis since May 7 2003, I havent forgotten one detail. I am so ready, sex by myself has gotten so dang boring. May this next year fly by for those who do not have loved ones coming home this year. I am off to work 12 hours so I hope everyone enjoys the new year. Love ya Angie


77 DAYS AND A WAKE accompained with a 50 minute drive I hope we can make before I rip Nicks clothes off. :)

72 days and a wake up. I haven't a clue why the first twenty months seemed to have flown by and now time is such crawling by. ARGHHH!!!! I have tried to contain myself but so many emotions are racing through my body. I am ready now darn it. I wihs I could buy the reat of our time. Nick admitts for him it is flying by, I am happy that it isnt crawling for him like my time is for me. Okay I will stop whinning now I am sure there are so many that would trade their time with me. Just wanted to check in and bug everyone...Nick is almost home!!! Love ya Angie

Okay I am done counting down in this thread I have begun to talk to myself so I shall let it settle in the dust of the archives. I am sure its bc I havent been here long. No big deal. When someone suggested I start a countdown thread I didnt realize I would be counting alone.....life goes on!!! Love ya Angie

bling bling...erretime i come up in this countdown, its getting mad crazy! kill it girl!!!! :D the days are dropping off like sweat in the summer! :thumbsup:
