Journal Entry

Another week in which Transport does not include me. It really does not make much sense because one guy had more time than me left unless maybe the shoulder thing for my next shot is holding me up. Only the Gods know what the IDOC is doing. So another week of hanging around Bonneville County but my needs are met, I’ve plenty to occupy my time, and I get to visit with my beautiful wife all week. It’s still a bit frustrating though I feel it’s time for me to move on. Moving forward though because there’s nothing I can do about it. Yesterday was my grandparent’s 63 anniversary. That’s crazy. It’s a whole lifetime. They had been married 22 years when I was born. I want that type of commitment, security, and companionship with my wife. I’m not sure we can make 60 but 50 is probably doable. One day at a time. I think we grow a bit closer each day. I mean this is far from ideal but it’s a different level from well getting to know someone just physically. I really think that these challenges will give us a solid foundation to build the type of relationship described above. Despite abit frustrated it’s just another day in here. Today’s goals: studying, workout, crafts, vocabulary building, and educational videos.
