ugh i did not think this would happen but now we have a trail date set (at the end of May). Im freaking out and feel so sick to my stomach, i did not think we would get this far in the case. Anything could happen and that makes me so anxious, its basically anyones game and with that there is no telling what in the world he would get scentenced with. Of course my mind goes to the worse places and i cant help but think about how long this is going to end up being. I feel bad too because he is trying to be so calm and helpful but everytime we talk i feel like im just in freak out mode and i dont want him to worry about me (even though i know he is going to worry about me no mater what i say) ugh this all sucks

I know it seems like an eternity, but just try to think of it in terms of once it's done and over you can finally have some peace of knowing where you're going from point A to B. Try to think positive/calm like he is; easier said than done yes I know, but you have to or you're going to fall apart and I know he doesn't want that. He needs you now more than ever!

Thank you Yes by the time trail is done we will have waited 6 months just to know.. so crazy. Funny thing you say about getting to point A to B because I just said that today, once I know the scentence I can figure out my plan until he gets to come home. Trying to keep myself calm and not anxious is the hard part lol

Keep your head up and I will pray for you guys. If you need anything let me know. He's lucky to have you and you guys will make it! I'm hoping for the best for both of you.

Lots of prayers. I can relate to the anxiety of not knowing. We still don't know and it would be much easier on both of us if we had a time line. It's been 4 months in county and still no trial date. This is a step forward for you towards the finish line. The silver lining to the trial is that exactly, you both will have a time line. Finding a positive in each situation has helped me with my anxiety. Maybe it can help you too. Much love

Thank you both for the prayers and hopefully wishes it means a lot to me! @rock6531 that is just like us 4 months in county, and we just now got our trail date, it is scary but like you said it is a step forward and no mater what happens it will be nice to finally learn what is happening and get a "time line" even if i end up hating the amount of time it will be easier to plan my life until he comes home.
