9/11----Happy Birthday Nancy!

Just couldn't pass the day by without thinking of this tragedy. I still remember the moments and emotions of that day. I was sitting on the couch in the family room watching TV and playing with my two little ones when it all happened. How shocking! I was glued to the TV for days. How grateful we are for all those that risked their lives to save others. I just read a story the other day of one of the brave people who didn't think of just himself that day. He helped organize and get thousands out---however, he never made it out. What Christlike love he and so many had that day and the days that followed. And, I'm sure many things we didn't even hear about. How thankful we need to be to have what we have and live where we live! Still such a heavy heart!

On a lighter note---HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANCY! Hope you are having a great time at Lake Powell! I don't know how you wouldn't! Love that place!

Hey Suzette! How are things going? It looks like you have been having a lot of fun. Maybe one of these days we can see each other again. I felt bad that it didn't work out in UT. Well, have a great week and I'll check back with you later!
