Well I got my visit finally yesterday and it was fantabulous I must say. The night before Pat and I didn’t sleep so i was exhausted before, during, and after too of course.

We left here at 5am, got there at 7:20. Pat slept the whole ride which sucked because I wanted some company during. We went into the visitor center and signed in. We got called up at 8:45 and ten of us visitors hopped in a prison van where they took us to the top of the hill because it was so steep (80 steps or so, give or take) and then we had to put our coats/everything in the locker. Get to the metal detector and my pants refuse to let my pass since my khaki pants had zippers on the pockets. They make me go BACK to the visitor center (this time we walked down the steps and back up) and I have to go into this room and I had to find something that fit and the only thing I could find was this black ankle length skirt which I looked hideous in. We go back up the steps and then I manage to pass through the detector and so does pat. We make it through this building and then into the next. There Pat gets “randomly selected” for a drug scan which he passes thankfully. Then we get sent down to this other building for Randy’s visiting room and assigned a table. He comes in, I get to hug/kiss him, and we sat down and conversed until 3pm. We got to occasionally kiss and held hands the entire time. He left a hickey on my neck when he was saying goodbye, lol.Pat left us at about 1 so we could talk alone and Randy and I got more into the personal talk then. He looked at me, grabbed both of my hands, and began talking about everything we’ve been through and how even 9 days into our relationship he got into trouble but I never swayed away from him. I’ve been beside him through it all and then I’m still standing here no matter what and he began crying and then said “Amanda, will you marry me?” and I smiled and almost whispered a yes because I was just… it’s a lot different than being asked in a letter.

I think I’m doing pretty good actually. I didn’t cry except once during and not even after or since then because I’m just feeling very confident and secure in this all. We went 18 days without seeing each other and survived. Once he moves it’s every 14 days. So that is my New Year’s Resolution. Not to doubt myself because I know I’m strong enough to make it through this entire process with him. It’s what we both want, there’s no reason that it shouldn’t work out. I’ll be alright… Yes I will.

Otherwise I’ve been busy going here and there, running errands, talking to this or that person. Mom and I go to Batavai just about everyday for the bank or walmart or whatnot. We went today to get an Ibear… or something. You hook your mp3 player up to it and it acts as speakers/lights up. He’s a cute thing. We also went grocery shopping. Tonight it’s all about football and relaxing. I’m STILL working on my layout. I’ve been finding time every so often, maybe I’ll have it all done up tonight. Tomorrow night is probably some drinking at home with mom, stacy, lisa… and then Tuesday I’ve got a ride to Elmira b/c I met someone on the prison forums who is going to see her husband and offered me a ride if I can get to Rochester (about 35-40 miles for me) so I’m going to take it. I want to see him as much as possible before he goes. My tattoo is quite sore right now but that’s to be expected. I hope you all have a very fun and safe (of course) NYE. Don’t party too hard
