Who could ever forget the Tragedy that happened on this day 11 years ago? It is a memory engraved in my mind and will be forever. I remember getting the kids ready for school when Suzie Arave called and asked me if I had seen the news. I hadn't and she told me what had happened. I went upstairs and turned the news on. I remember watching the planes crash into the twin towers and going weak and numb. I couldn't believe this was happening. I was devastated as was the rest of the world. I was physically sick to my stomach. I was sick for all the innocent people involved....and everyone who lost family that day. :( (still makes me cry)
I watched for awhile and cried a lot. I knew the day was wasted as far as getting anything accomplished. I decided it would be best to get out of the house away from the TV. Since Jared's birthday was coming up I decided to drive to Tremonton to the John Deere Tractor store and get him a tractor for his birthday. I think the drive sounded best.
I bought Jared a heavy duty tractor since I knew my older kids would be trying it out. It was a Happy distraction for such a sad day.
I am forever grateful for everyone who has and continues to fight for our Freedoms. I am sad for all who lost their lives that day and the days following. (and all the families who lost loved ones) America is a wonderful place....full of people who care about each other and will do anything to help another person out....even if it means losing their own life. I am Proud to be an American!!! This day will always be remembered and lived over in our minds.
