Remembering 911

This is a day that our family takes time out and remembers how blessed we are to have each other and still be alive to enjoy time together. As many know were to be on the plane that hit the pentagon as we were coming home for a funeral but we ended up deciding to take a later flight because we couldnt get things together to make that early flight. (we lived 5 min. from the airport) I remember waking up to Ryan's dad calling freaking out because he knew we were going to leave. Seeing it all happen on TV was a crazy day. Our neighbors calling us freaked out because they couldn't find someone else and trying to get them together was scary. Going out to eat after they got home and talking about how things were (they worked in DC) at work. 

Everyone experienced this day in a different way but living in Washington DC area when it happened and seeing everyone unite was amazing to see that and to see now how everyone is hating so fast is sad. I remember calling my mom scared and she had no idea it was going on but so greatful we weren't on the plane. I talked to my papa and he said "Tiff you guys need to get home now." well 2 months later we were back home living. Ryan and I take my papa's advice seriously.

I just want to say how blessed we are to have such a wonderful family. I love Ryan for always supporting me in all I do and being such an amazing husband and father to our children. We have three amazing girls. We have been able to do some amazing things these past 7 years and have helped many people. The lord knew it wasn't our time thank goodness. Hope everyone has a great day and remembers how special life is.
