He called!!!

Zach called today after church and luckily I was with his parents so we all three were able to talk to him. We got to talk to hime for at least 10 minutes today as opposed to the less than 5 on Thursday! He said that they weren't doing anything today. He said they had been watching movies. His basic training doesn't actually start until Thursday or Friday of next week.

He said he has sent some letters to me and his parents. He sent mine to our house, and for those of you that don't know I am not living at our house right now. I told him that he was a goofball and that I wrote down the address of Karmen and Matt's house (where I am staying) for him to mail everything there. So I have to go to my house several times this week to check the mail.

I was just glad to hear his voice. I did good today, I didn't cry until after we hung up the phone. It is so hard for me to say good-bye to him not knowing when I will hear his voice again. I am so used to picking up the phone and calling him when I feel like it...

He gets to come home in 39 days for Christmas. I am on the countdown! I am so glad he went this time of year because I don't think I could make it the entire time without seeing him... We are very close and being away from him for any length of time is hard for me.

Please keep praying for us and pray that he gets to call me at least one more time before his basic training starts...
