Remembering..

It's been quite awhile..I'll be truthful, I became disenchanted with Blogger. 
Every time I tried to blog, something would happen and my post would disappear or something crazy. It was taking up far too much of my time to figure out what was going on. Hence, discouragement...
I'm over it...I'm switching some things up on here and gonna give it another go! 


I took this picture last year at the 10 Year Memorial Service for Sept. 11th. This flag was huge and I was little kid mesmerized by it. There is something really beautiful about flags and the way they move in the wind...





 I lived in Upstate NY in September 2001. I had just started my junior year of college. 
I was driving to my first class and had just parked my car when news of the first crash came over the radio. I thought it was a commercial or fake or something...I sat in my car for a few seconds in shock then called home and woke up my mom to tell her to turn on the tv.
College was utter chaos...professors and students all over the place trying to get in touch with their families. Cell phone service was horrible and we were glued to the news in the college center. It was hard to concentrate in class and just as hard for the professors to teach..To be quite honest, I could go on and on of the details of the day, almost as clear as it was last week...

I know that I will never will forget that day and how it unfolded and I know I've looked at life differently every since then...
