Yesterday, my abuser and the man who killed both of my dogs, Mathew Berry, pleaded guilty to the animal cruelty crime he committed against Kirby on June 23, 2020. I delivered an impact statement, and I’m sure I’ll share that in written form here soon but for now, know that it served its purpose andContinue reading “The Case’s Grand Finale + Reflection”

June 23 & I bought my flight
It’s June 23. Four years since Kirby. And I just bought my flight back home. For trial. Here we go
Prosecution (he broke the law)
I went to court on Tuesday. We were in Chicago, visiting my family, and I knew I wanted to attend court. I know that not much happens in court these days, but nonetheless I wanted to be there. I didn’t post about it on social media at all with the idea that it might beContinue reading “Prosecution (he broke the law)”
He missed court so now he might forfeit his bond
MB missed court yesterday. Woof. You can’t do that when you’re charged with multiple felonies. But he did. So now there’s a warrant out for his arrest and a hearing to forfeit his bond. Which means, the possibility of him going to jail and losing his freedom. In order to stay out of jail rightContinue reading “He missed court so now he might forfeit his bond”
Life Update, Life Happenings
Life is good. My life is really good. I’ve had some really good things going on, so let’s talk about it. First of all, I’m teaching AP Spanish this year. Which is a huge step for my career. It’s an incredible accomplishment and honestly, I’m having a blast. I love teaching AP Spanish. My studentsContinue reading “Life Update, Life Happenings”
I filed a police report last week
I’m 100% sure my abuser is violating my order of protection…again. Let’s rewind: You know I’m active on social media – Tik Tok, especially. It’s been amazing to share my story and help so many while educating about domestic abuse and animal abuse. I’ve also been in the news plenty of times. My abuser, whoContinue reading “I filed a police report last week”
Life Plan
I’ve decided what I want to do with my life and it gives me more energy and fire than anything I’ve ever done. I’ll teach for two more years, I’ll commit to that. But after that, I’m going to leave the field of education. I’m going to start a nonprofit foundation that advocates against domesticContinue reading “Life Plan”
MATHEW BERRY HAS BEEN CRIMINALLY CHARGED FOR TORTURING AND KILLING MY DOG KIRBY ON JUNE 23, 2020
It’s not over yet
Jeremiah 29:11 was the scripture verse on my devotional card this morning. “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Plans not to harm you. My God blesses me. My God is good toContinue reading “It’s not over yet”
I’m going to be in the news again
The reporter (very kind) is doing my story and told me he contacted the Will County State’s Attorney office to ask about my case, and they told him they were reviewing my case. If that’s true, great, if not, I know political talk. But, I’ve decided (as I shared) that I’m not going to pursueContinue reading “I’m going to be in the news again”
