 where i was on 9/11/01

the "weird" thing for me was my family and i were just in nyc on 9/2/01 for a day out of the house. we drove up the strip by the wtc towers and took a picture of them. a week later i was at work when a co-worker walked by and said, "a plane just hit the wtc" i thought she meant a small craft had bumped it or something. the next thing i know me and several other coworkers were in the conference room learning of the damage and then we (along with millions of other viewers) watched the second plane crash. it was surreal to say the least. i went back to my desk and my phone rang, it was my boyfriend asking me if i had heard. we talked about it for a while and then i hung up. several of my coworkers were crying, one of them called her son in nyc who was a few blocks away, thankfully safe. i was 3 months pregnant at the time and scared that my second daughter would never see this world as we knew it. fortunately, today i am celebrating her first birthday.
