Dear Journal (me)

Here is a link to the offender [url=http://www.corr.state.mn.us/level3/offenderdetail.asp?OID=160645]State of MN[/url] previously mentioned. Doesn't seem like much by this but I KNOW some of the extents he has forced upon his victims. And the details not mentioned are what scare me. Especially after the Dru Sjodin case.

I just spoke to a friend of mine who informed me that she was stalked by this guy about 4-5 years ago. And the things she told me about...OMG! Freak about sums it up! Now even more scared.

After the Dru case...not far from here. (Her parents have property here in our town called Dru Estates.) And the freak who killed her. It really scares me abou this guy and his brother. They are NOT afraid to do things in public with people watching,etc. And that really scares me to know what they could do when someone isn't watching!

They say that these types of offenders most times escalate in the scale of offenses. I pray NOT in this case!!

Lord please protect my family and me, all people who will come into contact with this man and his brother. Give them strenght and wisdom..the smarts to get away. Please be with the men always...help them and guide them in the right things to do and give them the strenght to not hurt anyone again!

Love
me

Dear Journal (me)

This is one of my favorite LO's right now! I love the papers from Crate..they are in our kit this month. Stars...love circles and stars...absolute fave! And this photo of my nephew...he was sitting on the back of the paddle boat. Taking a rest from swimming. Just watching all the other kids playing.

I am missing summer already! Today is the first day back to school for all the kids. And my first official day back to work with clients attending school. Been busy already!

Wishing summer would go on forever...dreamer right,LOL! Life must go on!

We are getting October kits in order and gearing up to gear up the November kits to. Seems weird to say that,LOL!

We hope to have the final plans of a September crop set up shortly. And we are going to have monthly contests for guest DT'ers. So much fun. They will get a free kit with their reign in return for creating 4 LO's/projects which ever they desire and active on the MB during their reign. As well as be able to add the GDT to their resume list!

Can't wait for winter CHA in Annaheim. Will hopefully visit my relatives while there as well. They live about 30 minutes away! Can't wait!

Got some great pics of my sister and her 4 girls as well as some more pics over the weekend of simple things I will miss from summer and things I love about summer. Hope to be able to do a LO or two about them sometime in the next few weeks!

Life is crazy. And only beginning with the stress factor again now that work is back in full force. Not to mention the freak getting out of prison! Oh ya...it isn't my stalker getting out of prison it is his level 3 sex offender brother I guess! A whole family of freaks! Just what I need two of them! I am so freaking scared! I will be attending an awareness meeting tomorrow night. And will have lots of questions. I will just keep praying!

Ciao, me

Dear journal...

I found out tonight that my former stalker is moving 2 homes down from me. And I am totally freaking out! He is a convicted sex offender.

I have received a couple calls...been working and haven't been able to return them yet. DH told me tonight that the one call from someone was to inform me of a meeting set one evening in town. It is an awareness meeting to let neighbors know he is moving into the area.

I sat there in shock as he told me.....tears welling up. And an almost instant state of nausea. With million and one thoughts running through my head of "what if's"?

I sit here in tears, scared of what the future holds! Scared to live in fear. Scared to live here. Scared to be scared. So many thoughts. So many fears.

DH told me that the man is getting let out of jail and the county will have this meeting very soon. I have yet to talk to any of my friends or co-workers to see what he did to be in jail again? If it was another sex offense, another woman he stalked or worse yet....OMG! Or something else? I will find out for certain and soon!

I wondered the other day why I hadn't seen the vehicle around town in a while!!! I was so thankful for that! And had just figured that it was over! And that he took the visits from the deputies seriously and wasn't going to stalk me again.

OMG I am so scared! No one deserves this fear. No one deserves to have some freak do this type of thing to them!

Love,

me
