Feeling Hopeless
Well might as well let everyone else know. Zech and I's plan for parenthood have sort of come to a stand still right now. All of my tests came back just fine, surprisingly enough. Zech's test, however, did not. He's not infertile, but we were told its basically not going to happen naturally "right now". Now, this low count could be due to a few different things, either its just really how he is, or it could just be his body's way of reacting to the amount of stress and constant heat he is around all day. But we wont really know because the Army, as always, has some lame excuse as to why they cannot see him right now. My doctor talked to us when we found out the results and wanted Zech to see a Urologist. All he would need to do would be to go to his doctor on Ft Hood and get a referral to see this other doctor affiliated with mine. But when we called Tricare (our insurance company) to set up the referral appointment, they basically told us that there was no sense in them wasting their time on him since he only has a few months left of active duty service. What a great way to treat a human being who risked their life for this country! We could choose to pay out of pocket for him to be seen right now, but depending on what exactly is wrong, it could cost us the sort of money we dont have. We have Houston to be worrying about right now, and need all of our extra money to stock up for that. So as of right now we are just trying "natural remedies" to try to boost his count, and pray to God its all going to work out. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. This has really been a hard pill to swallow for us.

Long Weekend (09/17-09/20)
Well its been awhile since Ive posted anything on here. Its been crazy around here lately. Anywho the weekend of the dates posted on the subject line Zech and I went to Houston and down to Corpus and that area for a few days.
On Thursday we drove to Houston and took a tour of the UTI campus for Zech. It was a really small campus, which I think is nice, and I got really excited for Zech just seeing where he was going to go to school. I actually started crying in the parking lot after the tour because I was so excited for him! LOL We also got Zech a new hood for his car for $40! A great deal from a fellow Nissan enthusiast. After that, we drove to a few apartments in the area to look at some potential places to live. The weather wasnt quite cooperating, so a lot of the places couldnt show us the actual apartments. But we did get to look at a few and I think we've settled on where we would like to live.
From Houston, we drove down to Corpus Thursday night to spend a few days with my sisters, brother-in-law, and my 2 nephews. Yes, we finally got to see Tyler! I was so excited. He looks just like Colton did when he was a baby, but at the same time you can totally tell the difference. He was adorable, and a total wiggle worm :) Colton was just too funny as always. He kept telling Zech that he was going to be Wolverine and then he would move his hand over his other hand to show that he was taking out his claws and then he would "cut off Zech's arm". Zech, of course, was dramatic for Colton, and Colton would just laugh and laugh. It was too cute :)

Saturday afternoon we drove to Freer to go see Zech's best friend Nate for his birthday, and Zech's brothers, and some other friends. We went out to their ranch and shot some dove and some skeet, then went back to the house and played cards and drank and just hung out. It was nice to hang with some friends. We had a blast.
Sunday we had the looooooong drive back to Killeen to get ready for work for the next week. Little did I know I would wake up feeling like I had the flu the next morning. I was out of work for 3 days. Luckily Zech was still on vacation so he was there to take care of me... when he wasnt working on his car. Poor thing though got sick THIS past Sunday and had a temp of almost 102 Monday night! I have been forcing medicine down his thoat since then and he now just has a cough.
His car is almost done, got the clutch installed last night, and now he's just waiting on mounting something to keep his lights stabalized. This weekend we will drive the Jeep down to San Antonio to hand it off to Katie :( that Jeep was so good to me while Zech was gone, and I will truely miss the "Sheepy".
