omg...I thought all day, "he's gonna call...7 pm, he's gonna call!!"
And omg AT 7:00 on the dot, the phone rings and the caller ID says...'GEORGIA!!!!'
Oh he sounds soooo good!!!! It was VERY hard to hear him...but I got 90% of all he said. Hubby grabbed the other phone, but it made it even harder to hear. So hubby talked for a brief time-knowing I NEEDED that phone in my hand again!! lol
Zach is TOTALLY loving every minute of his training!! He said it IS going FAST! And...he is now in 'White Phase!!!' Off 'Total Control'!!!! (hense the 5 minute phone call!! lol) he even asked me if I went to Soldier's Chapel...and I said, "YES! I know! Your pic is there!!!! We saw it that same night it was posted! Its my desktop pic and I e-mailed the pic to everyone too!" lol
He then said something about that he too, saw the pic-it was really hard to hear then-but I heard him say something about someone calling him over and showing him and Jacobs the pics yesterday-so it must have been a DS or the Chaplain, if they had a comp or laptop.
I told him I mailed him the package of stuff he asked for and extra too, plus extra of the supplies he asked for to share with Jacobs and that I also put a letter in there for him and one for Jacobs as well.
He said they are rucking to the Rifle Range tomorrow and he can't wait! lol
Said they were at the machine gun range the other night at 1:30 am using night vision goggles and he loved it. lol
Sarah got on with her brother...but she only got as far as "Hi Zach! How are you? I miss you...I love you...here's mom...bye." and she was in tears! Awww...just hearing his voice the first time since July 24'th got to her.
I told him how I love his upbeat and positive and funny letters-that the whole peanut butter thing was hysterical!! he said..."Yeah, I LOVE peanut butter now!" I said..."yeah, I could tell!!" lmao
He said he's gotten all our letters and that earlier yesterday, he just kept looking at the pics...he said he 'just kept staring at them.'
I told him many times how much I love him and am so very proud of him. And that I miss him so much-but didn't keep mentioning that...just kept giving him the love and pride and support and encouragement.
And then...it was 7:05 and time to go... :cry: But oh, how his phone call has lifted my spirits! I'm in lots of pain lately and just feeling really very miserable...but that phone call was better than any meds I take!!!
Just hearing his voice...and knowing that he REALLY is loving all this and is doing GREAT...which was so evident in his voice...has me still sitting here in a combination of smiles and tears!!! lol
*HUGS*
