100. The History of Key Lime Drive

Today is Sunday.  Of course that means Kristin went to visit Mark.  Me, on the other hand, am moving home for the first time since I left on November 28, 2012.

I had been packing things for a few days.  Today I only needed to put them in my car.  I grabbed my parrot and my dog after I finished loading up my car.  Then I headed to my house.

You would think I would be happy to have my own place again.  The house is relatively cleaned up.  I have Megan to stay with me. Yet, all of the way driving to the house I cried.

99. The States Attorney Calls Me

>> Article PDF <<

My day was a pretty normal day.  That all changed around 3 PM.  The states attorney, Jenica, called me. It was then my day went from calm to hyper stressful.

Jenica started the conversation with some very pointed and puzzling questions:

Jenica: "Are you and your husband still getting divorced?"

98. We're Going To Trial

Yup, you are reading that right.  We are going to trial.  As I said on Monday, Mark decided to plead "Not Guilty" and risk his fate with a jury.

As you can see from the court docket his trial is August 26th.  I only hope he doesn't get out on bond before then.  At least that way I'll have four more months of peace.

Oh, and I finally made the decision to move home. I'll be moving on Sunday.

97. A Night For Big Decisions

My day started out terrific.  I had my appointment with Meier's Orthodontist.  He is the 4th person I have seen to discuss how to fix my teeth.  From the moment I walked in there I just knew this practice was the perfect one.  And, I was right.

The people were all awesome.  The nurse was amazing.  Dr. Meier's was tremendous.  I was there for about an hour and a half.  After the x-rays the doctor told me he could make my smile back to beautiful in about 8 months!  The best thing is, my dental insurance will cover part of it.

It was very busy at work today.  The day just flew by.  I picked up Kristin today, because her Jeep was in the shop.  We picked up dinner and came home.  After we at it started off just as any other normal night.  We put Matty to bed, then sat to watch a few shows.  During a commercial while watching "The Mentalist", Kristin and I got to talking.  I was 'testing the waters' and mentioned I may be moving back to the house with Megan.  She didn't seem upset at all, which just makes me believe it would be the right choice.

96. He Pled Not Guilty!

The title says it all! Seriously?  He please "not guilty?" For REAL? Not only that, he is asking for a jury trial?

I don't even know what to say about this! Well, yes I can.  Wait until the jury hears the recordings!

95. Jail Visit Again, Visiting Megan and Plans to Move

Sunday again. It's Kristin's weekly visit to see Mark again. I'm getting used to her going.  I try my very best to not let it bother me.

I have to admit my feelings were very hurt when she was so angry with me last night about me wanting to change my name.  I would hope my oldest daughter would applaud me and say, "GO MOM" instead of make me feel like I was doing something evil.  But, as I explained yesterday, she is still trying to keep the hope alive.

94. Diana Rae Walter No More

Did I ever tell you back in January my old attorney, Robin, had asked me if I wanted to change my name?

I told her no.   At the time I was such an emotional basket case.  And, to be quite honest, I still was trying to figure out a way to "rescue" Mark.  Teaching an enabler how not to enable is a long journey.  But, I digress.

Somewhere in all of the barrage of recordings, Facebook messages, text messages, and emails he informed me I did not "deserve" to have his last name.  I ignored that statement (for the reasons explained above) until now.
