I was getting ready to go to class when the Pentagon was hit...by the time I got to the Mass Comm. building, the first tower had been hit. I was sitting in a huge classroom when the second plane attacked. I remember a girl I didn't know and haven't seen since sitting next to me, grabbing my arm and saying "Oh, my God" when it happened. People were crying, calling relatives in the middle of class. It was unreal.
I was in Pennsylvania waiting for my neice, Kelee, to come up from the operating room after a c-section. Kelee's mother came up and said, the Pentagon has been hit by a plane. I thought she was joking. I asked her what was the rest of the joke. She was serious. I never thought anything like that could happen. Not to the Pentagon. Kelee gave birth to Noah Douglas at about the same time as the jets hit the twin towers. I will never forget that day.
I am the Mother of 2 wonderful Boys. One is a Junior in college, and one is a 4th grader. Needless to say this makes life very active , and busy. The 4th grader is involved with baseball, basketball and pretty much anything else that anyone will let him do.
I on the other hand love to watch the kids play their favorite sports. I love to shop. I love to buy new things for the house. I love to vacation (when I can). I love the beach. I love Las Vegas.
I hope this gives family far away an inside look at life here, and people not so far a little closer look.
I have 2 professions. One is a full time Real Estate Agent, and the other is a Full Time Mother. I am not sure which is harder. But being a Mother is what I love the most.

I will never forget how I felt that day: fear, pride, and sadness. I was at home studying and spent most of the next 24 hours glued to the tv.
