So with my birthday...just around the corner ;) .... I'm torn between two themes.
With the overall theme being "Menace to Society" I'm torn with the "sub-theme"
the 1920's or the 1940's.
I know right?
With the 1920's I'd wanna have it be very.... Prohibition (promise it will just be root beer C: ) very Gangster-ish style
With the 1940's I'd want it to be Old Hollywood.....
the 1940's is probably by far one of my favorite decades to learn about.
but I'm kinda thinking the 1920's would fit better with the OVERALL THEME.
AHG! When did I decide to make this harder than it needs to be???

September 11, 2001 : Where were you?
It's hard for me to believe that it's really been 10 years... it feels like just last week to be quite honest---yet at the same time, a lifetime ago.
I think that most everyone who is old enough to remember---knows exactly what they were doing at that moment. They don't ever hear the words "9-11" without immediately clicking to thoughts of that day. Things were thrown into perspective and you started to see things in the 'big picture' mode.
Things that seemed to only happen in the movies--was suddenly happening in the real world.

I was a Freshman in High School
6am I was in the back seat of a car on the way to seminary.
We heard it on the radio--but we at the time weren't really paying too much attention. It had to be an accident...right?
During Seminary class-it went pretty much like normal.
But as soon as we got to school afterward--totally different story.
By that time the second plane had gone threw the second building... a third plane had crashed into the Pentagon...and a fourth plane had crashed in Pennsylvania.
so it definitely wasn't an accident.
I remember that no one went to regular class that day- we all mostly gathered into classrooms and watched the national news for pretty much the entire day.
I think thats went it hit me. Things were about to change.
Going home after school- I walk in to see my parents sitting and watching it on TV as well.
The days and weeks that followed- were filled with so much patriotism. I remember that everyone put a flag in their yard. Every car had a flag. Musicians were writing songs. Everyone came together so quickly. The high school, every morning, would raise the flag in assembly. There were firesides with President Hinckley addressing it to everyone in the church. It was almost a complete different world. It changed for the better. It made us remember what was important.
Now here we are 10 years later.
A life time ago-yet it feels like last week.
My wish is that we never forget. That we could get back to those days and weeks after---when we were thinking of more important things like friends and family...and not the "next big" "latest" "greatest" "newest"
"The resolve of our country is being tested, but make no mistake, we will show the world that we will pass this test."
-Pres. George W. Bush
