Five years ago today I was laying in bed asleep when mom knocked on my door. I opened it to hear news that would change everyone's lives forever. "a plane has crashed into the twin towers s in New York City.... " It took me a while for me to understand what that meant. I kept thinking how horrible... how could that have happend? We went down stairs where we watched the the video from a tourist camers as he captured this horrible event. We watched as the second plane crashed into the other building. It was unreal. It felt like I was watching someone get murderd right infront of me and I felt sick to my stomach as the tears came. I felt as though I was there. As the week went on we learned that terrorists hyjacked the planes and intended to crash into the buildings in New York, Washington D.C.

It took me months and months to be able to look at the footage and not cry all day long. I would think about it and all the families that had lost someone they loved and it would bring me to tears. People wore the pins and hung out flags decorated their cars to show support for our country. Everyone seemed to come together and unite.

What a difference 5 years can make...

On a lighter note John and I have begun to look at houses. I hate to dissapoint Alyssa but the Coach house we looked at was horrible. Too cute in the pictures though. It was tiny, the building was a reproduction of an 1800's house and it looked like it was authentic. For being 20 years old it was in horrible shape. And it was also being used as a rental home and it was trashed. They are asking about 50k-75k too much for that small and run down of a house in my opinion. We also went to go look at another house that I have been eyeing on Craigslist. It would have been perfect, the bedrooms were nice and big, updated kitchen, deck, air conditioning, hardwood flooring etc. but it was on a semi busy street and the noise from the cars was a bit louder than we like. So if anyone can think of a way to cut the noise let us know. The property srtetches out to the street with no sidewalk so we would also have to put up a fence so the little one won't wander on to the road... One of John's friend's works for Haskins Reality and there are about 4 more homes on their website that I would like to look at. 60776996, 6070431, 6059803, and 6030697 are the MLS #'s if anyone is interested in looking at them and giving your thoughts.

Work last night was kind of a blur. We did 75 covers with two servers. Very hectic. Not my favorite kind of evening. I did however make about $136 last night and since I have cut down my serving shifts it was nice to get some cash. I didn't get a chance to eat anything last night until I came home at about 11:45. The last thing I did have was a Zesty Chicken Bowl from taco bell around 2pm right before we went house touring... Peanut was not happy, I need to figure out something to snack on when we get busy like that... and honnestly, I was running most of the night, so there really wasn't much time to eat anyway. It's not fair on my body to be that busy and I pray that it won't affect the baby at all. We have another hectic weekend next and I hope to be a little more prepared. Well I am needing a shower. I'm headed over to Toni's house to look at some brochures.
