It has been a while since I have shared anything regarding Zach. Just thought I would do so... and in case you all are wondering why I am on the computer so much today... wouldn't ya know... on a day off... I am sick. Good grief.... I guess I can only go so long before it was bound to catch up with me. It is just tummy woes... but I feel pretty rung out.
But back to Zach... he come home in 8 weeks

We don't know for sure how long he will be home because of the talk of his unit being deployed in December (yes.. december.

)
In the mean time he is in more of a dorm like setting and goes to "classes" daily for his specialized training. I can talk to him daily (although the time difference and both of us being busy have not permitted it).
He did find out he has a rare blood type. He is B- . Had me really confused since no one in the family that I am aware of is RH neg. I am B+ and Steve is A+... So this discovery got him a bunch of special treatment. He loved it. Course, this discovery means Kira will have to have her blood typed.. if Zach is neg. then She could be as well... and since Josh is +, it could create some small issues for her. (not huge..just an extra couple shots during pregnancy)
And since Zach has outside contact... well he and his girl friend got back together. I really like her. She is just so young...and now their age difference is even greater due to where is in growth. So for the last few weeks she has been making plans to be a prominent fixture in our family's life. She is a dear thoughtful girl. (On my birthday last year she brought me starbucks before I was even out of bed and was the only person to really go out of their way to make my bday special) But... I digress again. Zach called me to mention just how much in different places they truly are and to say that he thinks he will break up with her.

He like me though sees the big picture. Her family has been sending him care packages.. Emily has been making all sorts of plans. This isn't as simple as "we are over" it is a "WE are over" I really don't want to see her hurt again..and neither does he. So now I am waiting for the bomb to drop. I don't know... I am sure this can't work out... she is too young. I just really do like her.
So there is the latest and greatest in regards to Zach.
