10.

Remember.  Isn't that what we're supposed to do?
Remember.  Honestly, how can anyone forget?
Remember.  I remember.  I remember an orthodontist's red chair and braces and a radio and a brown haired nurse who delivered the news.
Remember.  I remember.  I remember smoke.  I remember being scared.  I remember not understanding.  I still don't understand.
Remember.  I remember a prayer service, a presidential address, and lots of tears and unanswered questions.
Remember.  I remember firemen and policemen running into buildings while everyone else was trying to run out of the buildings.
Remember.  I remember the day I understood evil really does exist.  I remember wondering about the fate of our country.  I remember wondering if we'd ever truly be safe again.
Remember.  How can I forget?  It's because of this day that so many of our loved ones are overseas fighting to maintain our freedom.  Someday my beloved one may have to join them...how can I forget?
Remember.  I remeber seeing faces of those who were looking for their missing loved ones.  I remeber the fear in their eyes.  I remember the look of panic on their faces...
Remember.  I remember the heroes.  I remember a country that wanted to be unified in the face of terror and tragedy.  I remember being thankful that God still works and moves in the midst of a broken world.  
Remember.  I'm not going to forget.



Thank you to all those who sacrificed their lives that day.  Thank you to all those who continue to put their lives in danger of my sake and the sake of our country.  


love,

7 days into September Already?!

It's September.  Wedding season is over.  Summer has come to a close.  Other than developing a sore throat over the past couple days, this week has been pretty good.  Hubs and I officially FINISHED and MAILED all of our wedding thank yous.  Boy does it feel good to get those out of the way.  Now I have more time to devote to my online coursework.

We've been going to the fitness center regularly and I love it.  I've been able to try different classes to figure out exactly what I like.  We tried spinning on Tuesday and our butts were whooped.  Seriously.  It was a great workout.  I still attend Zumba regularly and I'm planning on trying bodypump, bodycombat, and bodystep.  Tomorrow we have another spinning class.  I have to admit, I'm a little nervouse: a) because I'm not feeling 100% and b) because it's such a butt whoopin'.

This weekend should be a blast.  My mom's birthday is on Friday and Hubs' birthday is Saturday.  I have a few ideas for a birthday present for him, but I want it to be perfect.  It's the first married couple birthday.  Thankfully I've already gotten my mom's gift.   Hubs and I are in charge of cooking dinner on Friday night.  We're going to do everything finger food!   I think I'm going to make cake balls for dessert.  We started getting ideas for the main dishes tonight, but we're definitely open to suggestions!

Couple questions:
-Do you have any ideas for finger foods?  Please share!  We both love trying new recipes.  
-How about ideas for a good husband birthday gift?
