September 11th

Eight years ago today, I woke up in my apartment in San Diego listening in shock to my roommates tell me what was happening. We watched TV eyes wide making periodic gasps as we watched the terrifying images. I remember feeling alot of fear. I went to work, but after 30 minutes we were all sent home. I was so glad and I drove straight to see German. We had been engaged for only three months and loved spending every waking moment together (and still do). I remember watching the news cuddled up next to him and feeling very grateful I had him to love. I still feel that way and today I'm grateful to have three more to love.

My thoughts and prayers are with those who lost loved ones on 9/11. I hope this smile brightens your day!

Thank you so much for the thank you note. Your babies are the cutest ever. Light skin with beautiful eyes and dark hair. Seriously beautiful.
