Zac is in bed behind me, needing to nap for a bit. He had an exceptionally long week full of tests and quizzes, but he came out the victor. :] I'm so proud of him, you guys. He really means the world to me. I tucked him in bed, made sure the layers of blankets and quilts covered him properly. I'm pretty sure he's asleep now.
When we woke up this morning at 7:40, we jumped out of bed, dressed, and ran to school, needing to be on campus by 8. While we ran, I yelled at him, "Let's play tag!" He looked over at me and gave me a questioning look. But I touched his shoulder and shouted, "Tag, you're it!" then ran like a madwoman through the freshman dorms. He eventually caught me. Then I tagged him back. Then he tagged me. By that point, I was all laughed out, dizzy with endorphins, and my legs felt a little wobbly, so I breathed out, "Game. Overrrr." hahaha He was quite a ways ahead of me, but slowed down to let me catch up. Once we were next to each other he said, "You aren't gonna pull something low, like tag me--" Then I lightly tapped his arm and whispered, "You're it."
Our game of tag will definitely be one of the most meaningful memories I carry with me throughout my life. Even after I'm gone, that memory will still be very much alive with me. If someone were to ask me after I died, "What made your life meaningful?" I think I'd struggle putting into words my answer. But I do know I'd go back to a certain few memories that have meant the most: My childhood, past loves, tears cried on friend's shoulders, warm hugs from parents, realizing for the first time my testimony of Jesus Christ, meeting Zac, marrying him in the temple, and our journey together throughout this life. When it all comes down to it, he really is my everything. I hope I don't come off as being narcissistic or boastful. With all the humility I can muster, I honestly love him more than I love myself. I don't know where I'd be or who I'd be if I lost him. I do know, however, that he loves me for me. And if I did lose him, he wouldn't be hard to find because he's a part of me. He completes me in the most sacred and personal way imaginable.

| When we first started dating :] |
Next Tuesday, we'll be travelling by bus to Colorado to visit my dad who I haven't seen since last July! Yippee skippy, I can barely contain my excitement. My dad is the best. :] I can't wait to hug him tight, kiss him, and introduce him to Zac. Yes, you heard right. My father still hasn't met my husband. Haha, Oh good golly. Dad is looking forward to "Meeting the young lad," and Zac is maybe more apprehensive. But I know my two amazing men will get along just fine.
School is coming along just fine. I've cleared the midterm craziness, so has Zac, and now we're taking a breather before finals. After this semester, I'll only have 3.5-4 semesters left of school until graduation! Thinking of that moment when I receive my diploma from BYU is just too mind boggling. I seriously can't wait.
:]
