We are Texas and have jpay thank goodness. The only positive thing I think. Texas is a rough state for prison (as if there is a good state for prison). He gets my jpays the next day but I also send paper letters too.

He cant send back but he gets mine fast. It feels like business correspondence, like typing a business email but its good they get to him fast.

Returned from trip to find a letter for me and one for my son. I was jealous of my kids mail. Ugh! That's so wrong! First call while on the road so that was fun. He is sad by lack of letters yet I did send 2 cards and 2 letters for his bday. I have 9 bday letters all together. Gotta get writing.

Since we don't get calls and I'm broke,mail is our only form of communication.I wish we could at least get e-mail thorugh j-pay.
No mail this week and nothing for Easter.
I feel very alone right now
Have to put on a and pretend all is well

I re-read his letters, especially the first one cos it shows me how far we've come in a relatively short space of time.

When you do get your letter, it'll be even more precious. Keep your chin up hun.

Just got done writing J. I am praying when he gets transferred either tomorrow thru the 17th of this month it closer to his mom. Like no more than 30 mintues. That way she can try to visit him almost every weekend. I wish I could visit him every weekend! BUT if he moves closer to his mom, he will be alot closer to major airport that I possibly could come and visit him soon! Can you tell I really want to see J???! LOL!

Im forwarding my mail vibes to you all again. My husband has beed fabulous about writing. For the most part he always has been. Even in county when we talked all the time and saw each other all the time. Now he knows communication is the most important thing since we are 7 hours apart and we have the measly 240 minutes a month on the phone. Even if his letters are the short 1 page "I have nothing to say but I know it makes my wife happy" letters its good to get something. So Im doing the mail dance for everyone to have full mailboxes or at least one letter! Positive mail vibes sent again!

Monday mail vibes!!! I don't normally get mail on Monday so I'm okay about it but here's hoping this week brings lots of mail.
My guy is now noticing I don't write when he doesn't write and he said he's missing the amount of letters he used to get.
I hope that means he schedules me in there better. Good luck everyone!

I haven't written in a week and a half because he's on punishment lol. I got one letter last week on Saturday and it was a half a page long -___- so the letter I'm sending out tomorrow is not so nice.

I recieved a letter from J and my daughter recieved a cute little card from him too!

He is pissed about me thinking he was coming off as sexist or demanding, but still loves me. I guess my letter is going to be a real heart to heart talk with him. This one I need to think exactly what I am going to say to/write him in response to this letter. It seems like lately I have been really jumping the gun so to say on assuming things with him that are bad.

On a brighter note: J sent me his print out that he is being recommended for an open population camp soon. I keep check FL DOC website to see if his facility has changed on me. So far nothing.

I am sitting here struggling with the no mail demon as its been called and not that I wish this on anyone, but it is reassuring to see that I am not the only person who anxiously runs to the mail box! I know my MWI got my letter on Tuesday. He told his family last night he put it in the mailbox first thing this morning. I just get so inpatient wondering, what else they could possibly be doing in there that takes the place of writing to us. I hope it gets easier and I can stop thinking like that as time goes on!! It sucks having phone privileges removed. I want jpay!!
