They're Engaged!!

I was going to post something simple today. I was going to talk about the Jewish Holidays, and how school has been going, and the fuzzy yarn I'm making mittens from. It was going to be the perfect break from my work.

And then my sister called around noon, and we had a nice chat about how her boyfriend PROPOSED to her last night. That's right, my big sister is officially engaged!! Congratulations to Steph and Jeff!!

I found that out, and then I was bouncing off the walls at BPG dance rehearsals. Now I've decided to give up on work for the night and post this instead :) I'll post again next weekend when I'm a little calmer. 

We Remember

It's been 11 years, and the memories are still fresh from that day. There was always something about growing up near NYC that made this day hit home, and even though I'm not there today, my heart goes out to the victims and their families. We will never forget September 11.

At the same time, we remember another life lost just a few days ago. Monique Williams, who should have started high school in Somers last week, passed away over the weekend. She had been fighting Leukemia since third grade. She touched the lives of all she met, and she will forever live in our hearts.

We remember 9/11, and we remember Monique Williams. The victims of tragedy will forever live in our hearts.
