9/11

While I love this time of year, it also breaks my heart.

 

Fall is definitely my favorite season. I love the fresh air, the colors of the changing leaves, the upcoming holidays. But ever since 2001, the beginning of September fills me with sadness and anger.

 

I grew up in Jersey City, across the river from the World Trade Center. I saw those beautiful towers on a daily basis, taking them so much for granted. Never did I imagine they would someday be gone, along with the people inside.

 

I was married on August 25, 2011 and returned from my honeymoon via cruise ship on September 9, 2011. It was early morning on September 9 as we drifted into New York harbor. I was busy looking at the Jersey City side of the river when my husband called out to me and pointed up. This was the shot I took on that early morning.

 

 

Please always remember and never forget.

School Days

Ok, back to the grind.

 

The 6 year old has started 1st grade. Today is his first full day of school and my first full day of getting back into a routine - or at least trying to.

 

In the summer, I find I let things go. Like keeping my house clean, food shopping, organizing. Anything goes during the summer months when the boys are home all day, every day.

 

Now that school has started and I have more room and more time, I need to hunker down and get this house looking somewhat presentable. Thanksgiving is just around the corner, you know!

 

Here's to the beginning of a clean(er) home, a more organized life, and maybe even a little "me" time.
