Dear Ruby,

Hey sweetie!  Well, good news is my court case is finally done, bad news is, I was sentenced to 18 years at 50%, so 9 years.  I’ve got 3 years and 8 months in, so I’ll have 5 years 4 months left.  With all the programs for good time, I should be home in about 3 years.  I am trying to appeal a ruling in my case and if it works, I should be home in about 2 years.  I’m just excited to finally be moving on.

Uncle Andie will be here on the 20th, we will be riding the same bus to prison, at least there is a silver lining.  I started working on something else too.  It will be super awesome if it goes through.  I’ll keep it a surprise for now.

Have you been to any fairs this summer?  The Georgetown fair is going on right now, I saw Andyn’s Mom on TV pushing a stroller there, lol.

I can’t wait to get home, we can go to all the fun stuff around Chattanooga together! I know in my heart that it won’t be too long before I can be back in your life again.  Sometimes, it feels like it, though.  Just remember that I love you and I’ll never be taken from you again.

I hope you have a good rest of your summer.  It’s pretty hot, so be safe.

                                             Love you always, Pie.
