I’ll never forget Sept 11th, 2001….I was getting ready for work….and saw the aftermath of the 1st plane hitting the twin towers on the news….and then live on tv the 2nd plane crashed.  WOW!  I woke up my fiancé, and said look at what is happening!!!!!  I could not leave the TV.  I was 4 hrs late to work that day!  Sept 11th hit at a bad time in my personal life….not that it really came at a good time for ANYONE.  But I will associate Sept 11th with my wedding/anniversary always.  Trust me, I know there are thousands of people with greater tragedy from that horrible day.  Besides my anniversary, simple combinations of the numbers 9 – 11 make me stop and remember.   It’s true….WE WILL NEVER FORGET!  My wedding was Oct 13th.  All of our friends were planning a trip to Vegas for the bachelor/bachelorette party the weekend after the terrorists hit.  All the flights and reservations were cancelled.  Of course I would have loved to party in Vegas with my friends, but I also understand the urgency to protect our people.  I love my country and the freedom we have.  I’m just thankful that the out of town guests were able to make it to our wedding as planned and we celebrated our love with family and friends.  I’m deeply sadden for the families and friends of those lost, and hope one day only good can come out of it all.
