in love with jimmy......and life

I FEEL HAPPY TODAY.....OR SHOULD I SAY HAPPIER, THAN I'VE FELT IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS.  JIMMY AND I HAD SOME GOOD CONVERSATIONS ON THE PHONE TODAY...WE TALK, WE JOKE...AS BEST WE CAN WITH PHONE CALLS BEING MONITORED AND RECORDED!  EVEN A LITTLE SEX TALK, BUT I KINDA WONDER JUST HOW MUCH THEY ALLOW, SO WE KEEP IT AT A MINIMUM. CONTINUING ABOUT OUR FIRST MEETING...WELL, WE SPOKE ON THE PHONE EVERYDAY, AND 2 WEEKS LATER, HE FLEW TO VEGAS ON BUSINESS. HE WAS WITH 2 BUSINESS PARTNERS. HE ASKED ME TO PICK HIM UP AT THE AIRPORT.I TRIED , BUT BARELY KNOWING WHAT HE LOOKED LIKE, I SOMEHOW MISSED HIM. THEY RENTED A CAR AND WENT TO THEIR DESTINATION. HE CALLED ME AND I WAS IN TEARS. HE SAID,"GET IN THE CAR AND DRIVE HERE TO ME." I FOLLOWED HIS PRECISE DIRECTIONS, AND WOUND UP 35 MILES NORTH OF LAS VEGAS, IN A LITTLE TOWN, BORDERING AREA 51.IT WAS THE MIDDLE OF THE DESERT. MY FRIENDS AT WORK HAD TOLD ME DON'T DO IT. DON'T MEET HIM. PEOPLE GET HURT THAT WAY. I KNEW IT. I'M NOT STUPID. BUT I SOMEHOW KNEW THIS MAN AND TRUSTED HIM.I THEN STAYED WITH HIM FOR 3 DAYS IN THE MOTEL.WE WERE INSEPERABLE FROM THE START. IT WAS AS IF WE KNEW EACH OTHER FROM MANY PAST LIFETIMES.WE WERE JUST WAITING TO MEET AGAIN,HERE AND NOW.SOULMATES...I KINDA HATE THAT WORD..BUT THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE.WE HAD SO MANY SIMILARITIES FROM OUR PAST LIVES IT WAS INCREDIBLE. WE ARE BOTH ITALIAN AND WERE BORN AND GREW UP IN NEIGHBORING TOWNS. WE ARE 2 YEARS APART IN AGE AND WERE NEVER MARRIED BEFORE. I WAS A GRADUATE OF AN IVY LEAGUE UNIVERSITY.... AND SO, AFTER 3 DAYS OF BEING TOGETHER, JIMMY FLEW BACK TO JERSEY.HE ARRIVED MONDAY MORNING.  "I'M COMING BACK THERE TO MARRY YOU IN A FEW WEEKS," WERE HIS FIRST WORDS ON THE PHONE. "THE SOONER THE BETTER,"I REPLIED. DURING THAT WEEKEND JIMMY HAD TOLD ME ALL ABOUT THE CRIME HE COMMITTED. HE TOLD ME HE WOULD HAVE TO GO TO TURN HIMSELF IN AND GO TO PRISON. IT NEVER PHASED ME. I LOVED HIM, AND THAT WAS IT. PERIOD. I KNEW NOTHING, ABSOLUTLY NOTHING ,ABOUT CRIMINALS AND THE PRISON SYSTEM. I HAD LIVED IN ANOTHER WORLD MY WHOLE LIFE.  NEXT TIME, I'LL TELL YOU HOW JIMMY CAME BACK 6 WEEKS LATER, AND ABOUT OUR MARRIAGE IN LAS VEGAS, AND OUR EXCITING LIFE IN VEGAS! HOW WE "HUNG OUT" IN OUR HOME IN VEGAS, WHILE THE POLICE WATED FOR HIM TO RETURN TO N.J. TO ARREST HIM.

Great Journal, I have listed it in my Other Journal's website. The only thing that seem's to be missing in your story is about what Jimmy has done that got him put in prison. I can only assume it was a major crime or you would include his resson for the arrest. Maybe you can clear it. Keep up the great writting.

Thanks John for your nice comment.It is a "Major" crime.He's in a minimum security unit.No bars, no barbed wire. It's unlocked. I'll have to ask jimmy if i can tell what his crime is.We both just love to write! We have gotten a story published about an angel that appeared to JImmy a few years ago. The story will be illustrated and our pix will appear, in a popular mag.march/april .Jimmy wrote the story in prison.I edited it and wrote the cover letter.It was our first try!
