I know that today there will be countless accounts and stories, people re-living these hours over again. Last weekend I was reminded that there are "defining moments" in our lives. Moments that shape a generation, that you can't help but remember where you were, and how you felt. I can't ever believe that there is a person in this country that ( Read more... )

I'm excited to finally get settled somewhere, and I'm sad to leave the wonderful people that I've met here.
