Zac's sub is going to be on OPRAH!

That's right!! Zac's sub is going to be on the OPRAH show! They finished filming yesterday (while underway!) and the show should be airing some time this month. When I know the specific date, I will definitely let you all know. The subject of the segment is rumored to be something like "Where in the world are you Skyping" or something like that. They shot footage of the ship earlier last week, and then yesterday the Captain Skyped in and talked to Oprah. 
I am not sure if Zac will be in any of the clips that make the edits, but he was filmed in the Wardroom (Officer's boardroom/dining room/etc) reading a book. What's funny about that shot is that he is reading Service Etiquette a book that is on the boat that they rarely ever (IF ever) read or use. :) He is reading in the Wardroom with Randy and Jason, so I hope that they use that shot!! 
Regardless, I am excited that Oprah is bringing light to the submarine force! While I know that their division of the Navy is secretive, I am so glad that submarines in general will be acknowledged. They are CONSTANTLY silently serving. So, keeping checking The Oprah Winfrey Show website for her show schedule! We are so excited!!

Today is also Military Spouse Appreciation Day (for the Navy). So, to all of the military spouses out there of ALL branches of the military - THANK YOU!! I honestly never ever thought that I would be a military spouse before meeting Zac. But, I have made some amazing friends and learned so much during my time with the Navy. I wouldn't trade it for the world! 

Until later,
Rebekah

Hey RAWE! Of course, the Elliott's are allllways in my thoughts and prayers, but in dtown Dallas, there are 2 HUGE (and yes B I G) billboards on opposite sides of a building. They are sponsored by NavyMoms...and they are awesome ads! They just remind me of my little sis and bro! And they remind me of what great people help ensure our freedom for our country! LOVE YA'LL BUNCHES!
