CARTRIP TO NEW JERSEY

AND SO, AFTER THE 2 TRIPS BACK TO NJ, THE DAY FINALLY CAME WE HAD TO RETURN FOR JIMMY TO TURN HIMSELF IN TO THE COURT AND GO TO JAIL.  THROUGH FRIENDS AND FAMILY, THEY TOLD HIM, IT WAS IN THE NEWSPAPER, THERE WAS A WARRENT OUT FOR HIS ARREST.  NOW, IF YOU HAD TOLD ME I WOULD BE GOING THROUGH THIS, LET'S SAY IN 2000, I WOULD HAVE SAID YOU ARE ABSOLUTLY CRAZY!  I WOULD NEVER MARRY A CRIMINAL.......NO, NO, NO....THAT JUST WASN'T ME....AND I DIDN'T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT!  BUT, MY READERS, NEVER SAY "NEVER!"  GOD MAKES A LOT OF THINGS POSSIBLE IN LIFE.  AND I KNOW HE DID THIS TO ME, AS A GIFT, FROM GOD. "HE" MADE ME MYSTERIOUSLY MEET A MAN, FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM.........AND THEN LEARN ABOUT THE PRISON SYSTEM.  I AM THANKFUL FOR THAT, AND FEEL SORRY FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T UNDERSTAND IT, AND HAVE NO COMPASSION.  THAT IS WHY I WRITE THIS JOURNAL...I AM NOT AFRAIDM LIKE MOST PRISON WIVES...THEY LIVE IN FEAR....I WANT TO TEACH THOSE, IN OUR COUNTRY, WHO ARE UNAWARE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING BEHIND CLOSED WALLS....AND HOW HUMAN BEINGS CAN LOVE AND BE LOVED, EVEN UNDER THE MOST UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTANCES.  I HAVE A JOB TO DO, AND THROUGH CHRIST, I WILL DO IT!.............AND SO, JIMMY AND I WALKED OUT OF OUR HOUSE IN LAS VEGAS, ONE DAY,IN JULY, 2002...I THINK IT WAS THE SECOND WEEK...........WE CLOSED THE DOOR, AND I NEVER LOOKED OVER MY SHOULDER.....MOST OF MY BELONGINGS WERE STILL THERE...A HOUSE NEWLY RE-DECORATED, WITH ALL BRAND NEW FURNITURE...OUR LITTLE 'LOVE NEST."  WE HAD A FRIEND WATCH OUR HOME, AND SHIP THINGS TO US IN NJ.  JIMMY HAD ANOTHER FRIEND COME TO VEGAS, AND HE DROVE OUR WHITE SATURN BACK TO JERSY WITH OUR 2 CATS IN A BIG CARRYING CASE.  WE DROVE THE JAGUAR, WITH PRINCE IN THE BACK SEAT.  I DROVE A GOOD PART OF THE WAY, WITH PRINCE SITTING IN THE BACK, WITH HIS HEAD OVER MY RIGHT SHOULDER....ALL HE NEEDS IS A LITTLE STEEREING WHEEL, AND HE KNOWS HOW TO DRIVE!...we did buy him a little HARLEY DAVIDSON CAP, AS PRINCE JUST LOVES MOTORCYCLES....and loves to bark at them!  AS MUCH AS WE TRIED, I CANNOT SAY THAT OUR TRIP ACROSS COUNTRY WAS WONDERFUL.  WITH 3 PETS, 2 CARS, IT JUST WASN'T.  I HAD DRIVEN CROSS COUNTRY ONCE BEFORE, AND I REALLY DON'T LIKE IT....IT WAS WORK EVERYDAY, STOPPING...CARRING THE CATS, REFILLING THE LITTER BOX...PRINCE GOT VERY CRAZY, AND EVEN ATTACKED ME, BECAUSE WE WERE IN A DIFFERENT MOTEL ROOM EVERYDAY...THE TRIP WAS EXHAUSTING AND TOOK 14 DAYS.  I'LL CONTINUE LATER AND TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED.  JUMMY IS GOING TO CALL ME ANY SECOND NOW!
