On May 1, 2011, Osama Bin Laden was confirmed dead by our military forces. He is the man that is behind the attacks on September 11, 2001. This all happened before the girls were even conceived, but it still affects all Americans today, whether they lost a friend or family member that day or not. He took away our sense of safety away and made American's more patriotic in a couple hours.
The day of the attacks, I, like so many others, was getting ready for work. I saw the second plane fly into the tower and honestly didn't believe it. I thought it was a preview of a movie or something. It was beyond my realm of comprehension at that point that America could be that vulnerable. When the towers fell, I was crying as so many other Americans because I knew there was so much lost in that second. How could someone hate us so much that he'd order people to take down planes and kill thousands of people? It was a day etched in my memory just as the day the Challenger Space Shuttle exploded or the Columbine High School shootings happened. While I will forever remember those days, I will always remember this day as well. It was the day that America sent a resounding message to the rest of the world.
You can try to break our spirit, You can try to turn us against each other, but we will prevail! To those who wish to try to harm us, let this be your warning. After 10 years, we still kept searching and finally brought that tyrant to justice.
This wasn't a victory for America alone - it was a victory for mankind!
God Bless the USA!

Happy Easter!
Today we celebrate our Savior, Jesus Christ, and his miraculous rising for our sins. Although it's very important for me for my children to understand that true meaning of the holiday - we also doing the Easter Bunny as well.
So, today before breakfast, I came downstairs and got the easter baskets ready. When I was ready, I called up to the girls and told them to come downstairs because I thought the Easter Bunny had come! They came sliding down the stairs SO fast! I don't think they came down that fast on Christmas! LOL They were so excited to see the baskets and rip into them! It was an awesome day!
After we had our Easter baskets here, we met my family at Zio's for Easter dinner. Unfortunately, Nani's back kept her from joining us, so we went to see Nani after lunch. She was very excited to see us all!
