I don't remember...

Most of what happened yesterday, or the previous day, or a week ago, but I remember exactly what I was doing when the planes hit the twin towers! I can't believe it was 10 years ago already! I was laying in bed sleeping in college, and the tv was on, and I opened my eyes just after the first plane hit, and thought I was having a bad dream, so tried to go back to sleep. I then reopened my eyes just in time to watch the 2nd plane hit, and from then on was glued to the tv. I am not for sure on the all the details after that, but I think classes were cancelled that day, but I went to the building where my classes were, and there weren't many people around, but the few that were, were in disbelief/shock. It was all very surreal! I thought the memorial services this morning were very nice. Very well done!

It was a beautiful morning in Eagle, CO form an outdoor mass for the celebration of St. Mary. Our church always has outdoor mass on the weekend of the feast of St. Mary. We sat on a blanket on the grass in the back, and Cayle was walking around the whole time. It was so nice with the warm sun shining down on us! Didn't do much else today except for playing with Play-doh with Cayle for a while this afternoon. That was his first time, he really seemed to enjoy it. May have to get a play-doh kit soon. Have to teach him not to eat it first... :)

10 years later

Never thought it would be almost a full 10 years later before we got the guy!

I got chills listening to Glenn Beck on AM radio this morning driving down to Grand Junction for a conference. He did a live radio segments a couple minutes long on sounds and interviews from the actual moment that the twin towers were hit. It brought back all the terribleness that went along with that day. There was actual transmissions from aircraft pilots demonstrating the confusion of that hour. It was crazy!

I'm sure most people probably remember exactly where they were, or what they were doing when they got the news. I don't usually remember things like that, in fact, it's one of the few things I remember so specifically. I just remember waking up in bed at college and thinking that I was having a nightmare. I went back to sleep for 5-10 minutes, before realizing that I had actually seen it on the television, and then proceeded to watch as the 2nd plane hit the tower. It was so SURREAL!

I would be naive to believe that we will never see anything like that again, but I hope for our children's sake that we never see anything like that again! The horror, the pain, the memories, the deaths...
