As Braveheart once said, "FREEEEEEEEEDOOOOOM!" It is a wonderful feeling to finally be at home. I left the halfway house at 8:45 yesterday morning, went and talked to my PO and then made the 30 minute drive home in like 15 minutes. Amanda was excited and the dogs were just happy that I was home so Amanda would stop taking random pictures. Its hard for me to really describe how I feel, when people ask. The only word I have been using is excited b/c that's about as close as I can come to describing how this feels. But, another word would be relief. This whole situation is now over and Amanda and I can now truly move forward with our lives.
I want to thank all of our friends for their thoughts and prayers as Amanda and I have gone through this difficult journey. You'll never know how much you all mean to us.
Now I want to tell you how I got through this whole mess. If it hadn't been for Amanda and I don't know how I would have dealt with things. But having her stand by me, come and visit me, talk with me about our future made all the difference in the world. I learned a lot of things this past year, mostly about my self, and the biggest thing of all was how much I truly love and adore Amanda. I found a new level of respect for my wife, which I think is very important because we all respect our spouses (or should) but sometimes its out of habit. When I look back on all we went through and how easy it would have been for Amanda to "pack it in" or just not come and visit me as much, I see how strong of a person she is. She's great! I mean what else can I say? Just like my feelings to be back home are indescribable so are my feelings for Amanda. I love her for who she is...a beautiful, caring, funny, sweet, strong woman. Thanks for letting me have that moment to talk about Amanda, I haven't had the chance to really say those things and you all need to know (if you don't already) how great she is.
Well, that's my first post from home. We've got a lot of things to do today...dog's getting groomed, putting my stuff up, and maybe a movie. Oh one last thing....I need some ideas on a new blog title since I'm not in a federal prison anymore. :) Take care.
Josh

Glad you are home! It was good to see both of you Sunday. I don't have a suggestion on the blog name right now but I'll think about it...
Welcome home.
Hi Josh W.!
I am Sam A's mom? Now how far back did that take you? I have been reading some of you and your lovely wife's blogs. I just started one about a month ago and Teale is helping me get set up. I want you to know that I wish you the very best. Good luck and stay near God. He is our Savior and will always be there for us.
Glad you are at home and with Amanda again everyday. Welcome Home.
