Ok - big updates this time...
#1 - The Case.
The two guys that attacked me were officially certified as adults last Monday. Which means that they are no longer considered juveniles - they have been transferred to the adult county jail. I talked to both the prosecutor in my case as well as the lead detective who were there. One of the guy's brother was there and caused quite the commotion when his younger brother was certified as an adult. He got mad at the defense attorney that they had hired... Anyways - the flip side of this is that bail has now been set for both of them. $60K for one of them and $90K for the other. At this time, both are still in custody though - and I sincerely hope it stays that way. The prosecutor that has handled it to this point is actually going to keep the case for now - which I am happy about. She definitely knows what she's doing - she handled the Clara Harris trial as well. From here there will be a few arraignment hearings and then it will move on to indictment. When I asked what the average time frame looked like, she told me that an average case would go to trial about a year after the incident. Therefore at the earliest, we are looking at next March. But she also told me today that most dockets are moving very slowly, so it could be even longer. Once again, patience is the name of the game... (I don't like that game!)
#2 - The Good Stuff.
And now for the really exciting happy part of my life right now - I am BUILDING A HOUSE! YAY! I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am about it. It's in Sienna Plantation which is a master planned community in Missouri City (right next to Sugar Land). We've got all of the paper work in (and I stopped by this weekend and my brick was delivered!), and hopefully I'll have the meeting with my builder soon so I can get started! If all goes as planned, I'll be in the house right at the end of December or the beginning of January. It's such an incredible blessing that I have a hard time wrapping my mind around it. I've included a link where you can go take a virtual tour of the home...

I hope this finds you all doing well. I'm in great spirits, and doing fabulously... Enjoy the rest of the summer! :o)
