School Again

Even though Zac is done with basic, he has to go through almost 7 months of training before he is done.

The good thing about him being in School rather than Basic is the simple fact that now we can talk on the phone every evening.

The first week we would be on the phone, or Skype  for almost an hour each time.  It is a huge relief to be able to talk to him everyday, even if it's just a short text, instead of having only 15 minutes each week, if even that much.

Also, I've been able to visit him once so far and will be visiting again before he is done.

I was thinking the other day, so far Zac has been gone 5 months.  In that time I've only seen him for one week (7 days), it wasn't consecutive day, and even then we weren't able to spend the whole time together.

At times I have felt so overwhelmed with simply being the only one at home, taking care of bills, taking care of a dog that was sick for a week, handling small issues with the car and the simple fact that he wasn't here to  just give me a hug after a bad day.

I know that he will be home before I know it.  I know that God will help me get through anything and everything that comes my way.  I know that I have friends and family there for me.  But, sometimes, a girl just needs to be allowed to have a bad day.

What do I do on those down days?  Usually, Curl up in the living room with a good book or movie and have pizza and soda! (Not very good considering I want to lose weight, but hey, it works).

I do have my good days too.  Those days when he and I get to video chat for 2 hours and be stupid, the days when I get a package from him, or a small handmade card, or when he just tells me how well things are going for him.

I am definitely adjusting to this life.  It has taken time, patience and a lot of prayer but I am surviving.  I think we both will fit in well to the military life before long and I can't wait to see where this road leads us!
