Sept 11th

I never really understood the magnitude of September 11th til I moved here and got to see it in real life. Now we live literally 3 blocks from Ground Zero and we get to pass it everyday. Its hard to imagine how big the towers actually were but if they were still standing we would be able to see them out our windows. Last night we walked around the area where the ceremoy was held today to honor the people who lost their lives nine years ago. It was almost eery to think about how many people were affected by it and still are today. As a tribute, there are two shining beams of light that represent the buildings. Its really neat to see. The lights beem so high!

Jim and I got to go to Ground Zero when we went to the Manhattan Temple, it surely is a heavy feeling when you go by there. I'm glad to got to experience the feeling also.
