This picture was from when I first met Zack. It was before our first date even! We went kayaking with friends and they "coincidentally" paired us in a kayak. So sneaky! We had issues with going straight haha but I mastered the "Tokyo drift" move.
So it's been awhile since I've updated! Last Friday I took my dog, Madison, out to go potty. She developed this nasty little habit last year of sniffing around for half an hour before going to the bathroom, knowing I would have to wait for her to go. Needless to say I was a little frustrated with her selective hearing and I walked around the corner and saw......Zack walking down the sidewalk! It took a couple seconds to process and then I couldn't believe that I wasn't dreaming! Apparently he knew he was going to get that Friday off and applied for a pass when he first got to Ft. Sill and had been keeping it from me as a surprise! I feel like I don't even need to say it but obviously I had the best weekend and couldn't stop smiling the whole time.
The timing was lucky because Zack has been in the field all week doing various things such as land nav and shooting. He didn't get service where he was so I talked to him once for about 15 minutes this week. I'm a little impressed at how patient I was and how much the lack of talking to him didn't affect me. Granted, I don't know if I could last much longer but one week wasn't an issue. Tomorrow he's going to charge up his new laptop that he bought while he was here and we should be having our first skype date. I'm excited =)

After last week and my last post I decided that I needed a more upbeat blog. I just found out that I will be seeing Zack over Thanksgiving! =) =) I'm still doing Thanksgiving with my parents and will drive back to College Station Saturday morning to see him and he'll leave Sunday morning. I'll take what I can get! I decided that I'll make the pie in a jar maybe this weekend and send it off instead of just giving them to him. I want to see how they work out in the mail and see if I need to change anything to make it go smoother.
I chose this picture of Zack and I because it is from the Texans game that I took him to. I couldn't believe after listening to the announcers this past weekend that we've only beat the Colts once. That just shows how many times we've choked in about the last minute because the games are always close. When we got in field goal range I was like yes! Overtime! We can do this! I never doubt Kris Brown because he NEVER misses. And what did he do? Missed. UNBELIEVABLE! I just wanted to share that heartbreak because I'm still stunned. I wouldn't be stunned by us losing, I'm just stunned by Kris Brown. However, I went to my brother's game this weekend and my brother's varsity football team is going into the playoffs so congratulations little bro!

Today has been an awful day. I received phone calls from both my mom and grandma while I was in genetics lab and decided to listen to the voicemail from my grandma (particularly because she barely even knows how to use her cell phone and yet called me). After talking to my mom I learned of the shooting at Ft. Hood. Since then I've been crying just about all evening. My worst nightmare has always been that something horrible would happen while Zack was still in the US, and therefore supposedly safe. All I can say is thank God that Zack didn't graduate on time and thank God he's at BOLC II in Oklahoma. It tears me apart to think of the poor men and women, who sacrifice everything to defend us, be gunned with no form of defense. And by one of their own. How absolutely terrifying. To top if all off, despite their situation, these HEROES went straight into action to help those who were wounded. I'm praying for EVERYONE at Ft. Hood and all of the friends and families of those affected.
Zack goes to Ft. Hood in May/June and now I'm concerned about his safety not only during his deployment, but also while at his home in Texas. I'm glad the major survived. I truely want him to have to live with this everyday and feel the pain of his unbelievable betrayal. How dare him.
