People have been sending me kind words and I really appreciate it, and I thought you all deserved an update. I was hoping to wait until the update came with a post attached, but I just haven't had the time.
The good news - my brother's case was dropped. It was a very scary time (It wasn't dropped right away - he was in jail for like a week and a half I believe, maybe two weeks) We couldn't really get any information from anyone, so none of still really know what it was about (my brother claims he doesn't know, which I don't believe, but he's not talking, so whatever) We also have no idea why it was dropped. He had one court date where bond or bail or whatever was set (I still don't know the difference between them, but honestly I hope I never have to find out the difference) and it sounded really serious - they just said there were two felony charges. Then they set another court date in felony court, and when we went to that one, they told us the charges were dismissed. He wasn't there for that court date for some reason, and it took them almost 24 hours to release him from jail, which was torture for us, and I imagine him too.
The good news though is, we found a place and we're moving hopefully this weekend (they're trying to get it ready for this weekend, but it may not be ready till the first) That's where I've been. Worrying about my brother, and then packing and getting ready for the move, and also working on school (this stuff with my brother happened a few days before the quarter started, and it kind of messed up my quarter) I'm still planning on coming back. Internet should be on at the new place the day we move in, and so as soon as we unpack (and I unpack quickly - I can't stand to have stuff in boxes) I'll be back at it.
