So, remember how last post I was all worried about Zach, and how I wouldn't be able to see him for more than a half an hour or so? Well, luck, the same luck that had been ******** with us all this time, decided to give us a really big reprieve.
Because Zach got stuck on a straight-through, no breaks at all 17 day training cycle, rather than a nice cozy (comparativly cozy anyway) 23 day cycle, where he would have gotten night and weekend liberty, Admin didn't file his paperwork for his plane ticket to Florida until it was too late. As a result, he graduated Marine Combat Training on the 8th of April, but his plane doesn't leave LAX until 1300 today, April 12th. As a result, anyone going to Florida was given off-base leave until Sunday. So, Zach got to come home for two days!! We had a blast. So many of the things I didn't have the chance to tell him, everything I was feeling, all this was able to be spoken. It was just nice to be alone with him, to be held, everything.
Now, when he came home from Basic Training, I said that he wasn't any different, and I was a bit upset that he still retained some of the habits I didn't like, such as his laziness and inability to get up off his a** and make a decision. Somehow, all this was gone now. He did things, made breakfast for me (!!) cleaned his room, and put things in boxes, installed his old speakers into his parents living room, and was just generally more pleasent to everyone, and not just to me. It was like I wasn't the lifeline he was clinging to anymore, but I was more like his fiancee again. It was nice.
So, yeah, he's at LAX now. I just got off the phone with him, as he's headed to his terminal. He'll try and call me before he gets to board the plane again, but if not, he'll call me when he arrives in Florida. Life feels so normal again. I mean, for the first time since he left, seperation isn't an issue at all. Sure, while he was at Marine Combat Training, I didn't miss him too much, but I still felt lonely, and I had no strength to get up off my knees. But now, though, it's like I have that strength, and I know that no matter what, Zach loves me, and he'll be there for me. I know that I'll see him soon again, and that in a few months, we'll be living together. Yep, I'm happy.
