I'm Emily!
I've been lurking the forums for some time and decided I should finally come out of hiding.
I joined the site in July and have been writing one PP since then. It has been a really rewarding experience, and I feel like I hit the jackpot and found an unexpected friendship along the way.
After 4 months of letters, he finally asked if it'd be okay to phone me (we're both in the states.) SOOO he just called for the first time....and I planned a thousand things to say in my mind which all flew out the window as soon as I answered the phone *face palm* I wonder if anyone else has had a greatly anticipated phone call turn awkward?
Anywho! I'm stoked to be part of this community! :)

Hi Emily,
Welcome :)
I've been writing to prisoners for ten years and my guy for 5 now When we first spoke on the phone I went so shy and literally couldn't find the words. He just laughed and said it was cute and how he liked my british accent. Sometimes he or I will say something and we'll both go silent and be like uhhh what did you say and laugh. Accent barrier! It gets easier though and those 20 minutes will fly by and he'll be calling you right back for another 20 and another and another. :)
