Yeah, I know. Cheesy song title! This morning on my long drive to the big city to go to church, I got really emotional about 9/11. I don't think I have been that emotional about it since it happened. I listened to the country station (obviously) because country singers know how to write songs about America. I actually teared up a little. I thought about that day..I was a senior in high school..I had missed a test earlier in the week, so I had to go in another classroom by myself to retake the test. At the wonderful school of False River Academy, they send you in a classroom by yourself, with no teachers to monitor you while you take tests..But I don't think I ever cheated. And I didn't on this day. We had TVs in every classroom that would automatically turn on in the event of a crisis. Or for the morning news..it was called Channel One. As I was taking my test, the TV automatically turned on. I was awestruck. I don't remember finishing the test..I don't even know if I did. I do remember instantly leaving this classroom and going back to my normal class because I was scared and kind of confused..I honestly cannot believe that it has been 10 years.
In other news, it's my dad's birthday today! Here is his favorite thing to do:
So maybe it isn't his FAVORITE thing to do..but I bet he was watching football when I took this pic..and it involves his favorite 4 legged buddy of all times.
Crawfish boiler.
college graduation.
Speech giver.
pop pop!
fisherman! (I made him pose for this pic!)
The best part about his birthday, is that you can give him a bag of candy and it will make him very happy. Happy birthday, Pop!
