Enqueueing Script to footer puts it at the very bottom

Question

So I've got a bit of an issue, and not sure what the problem is. I'm trying to enqueue javascript in the footer of my Wordpress site. The footer looks like this:

    </footer>
</div>

<?php wp_footer(); ?>

<script>
    jQuery(document).foundation();
</script>
</body>
</html>

So the enqueued script SHOULD be put in the wp_footer call, putting the script just above where I actually call it. But looking at the source code of the file, I get this:

</footer>
</div>







<script>
jQuery(document).foundation();
</script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://www.thetestsite.com/wp-content/themes/cornerstone-4.3.1/js/foundation.min.js?ver=4.3.3'></script>
</body>
</html>

For some reason, the script in question is being placed RIGHT BEFORE the closing body tag.

I verified the wp_footer is in the correct place, so I'm not sure what would cause this to happen. If I enqueue the script to the head, it works just fine, but I'm just curious as to why this behavior is happening.

UPDATE (NEW CODE): Sorry for the confusion. Here's the functions.php portion of the script enqueue method:

function load_cornerstone_scripts() {
    wp_enqueue_script(
        'foundation_js',
        get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/foundation.min.js',
        array('jquery'),
        '4.3.1',
        true
    );

}

add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'load_cornerstone_scripts',0);

So to be clear..the original two blocks of code are showing 1) What the php file footer.php looks like, and 2) what the source code is rendered as.

You want something like this.

// assuming you want to load this only on frontend
if ( ! is_admin() )
     add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wpse_112876_load_scripts' );

function wpse_112876_load_scripts() {
     wp_enqueue_script( 'my_foundation', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/foundation.min.js', null, '4.3.3', true );

     wp_enqueue_script( 'my_foundation_init', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/foundation_init.js', array( 'my_foundation' ), null, true );
}
