1. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my dear sister Amy! You have had an amazing year with a beautiful wedding to a wonderful man and settling into married life. I am so proud of your accomplishments and thank God every day for giving me such a special sister!
2. Remember 9/11...do you remember where you were on that morning? We were living in our Condo and I was getting ready for work and turned on the radio to listen to Mark and Brian as I always did. I heard what was going on but thought it was another prank by the comedy duo. No such luck. When I realized it was real I ran and turned on the tv and yelled for Adam to come and see. Adam came in, looked at the tv and ran to go get his uniform and gun ready in case he got called in. I will NEVER forget that visual of the airplanes hitting the towers as well as the towers falling. Two weeks before 9/11 we were in Washington DC and New York at both those sites. We went into the world trade center on the path train. As we were walking thru the mall we stopped at a small drug shop to buy some advil for me. The little old man working there commented on what a cute couple we were. He was very sweet. I will always remember that man and I still wonder if he made it out safe. As my husband said this morning, the tragedy on 9/11 truly changed our world.
3. Lots of prayers for my Best and Dearest friend Carrie who has been going thru so much but doing so with dignity and incredible faith. You inspire me.
4. Thank you to all who commented back on my post about Alec hugging and kissing me goodbye! Adam talked to him about it and he has hugged and kissed me goodbye every morning since.
5. Speaking of Alec, he is doing GREAT in kindergarten! His writing is improving tremendously and he is just a chatter box about his day when he comes home. His friends are Melody, Taylor and another girl whose name I can't remember. That's right. Girls. Why? So strange.
6. Aaron, Ashley, myself, my Mom, my Dad and Brooklyn all went to Disneyland yesterday while Alec was in school (ssshhhh...don't tell Alec) We had a wonderful time and the kids were EXHAUSTED by the time we left at 2:00 p.m. I ran into an old friend, Patti, working there that I have not seen in over 10 years. It was so nice to catch up with her and reconnect!
7. The Angels clenched the West yesterday!!! GO ANGELS!!!!
8. I received a link from Baby Center yesterday where you could put in your child's age, height, weight and parents height and it would predict your child's height at 18 years old. Mom and I of course had to try it! Predictions - Alec 6' 1" Aaron 5' 7" Ashley 5' 9" Brooklyn 5' 3" It will be interesting to see how accurate it is!
9. We were in the car on Sunday driving to church and hit some traffic. Adam stopped a bit fast behind one car and once we stopped we hear from the back seat Aaron say, "Come on people!!" hahaha! That is SO something that I say!
10. My sweet little girl is going to be 1 in a couple weeks. That is CRAZY!! Allie and I went to LA last Friday and bought a bunch of stuff for her birthday party. She is growing up SO fast!!
