Heading downtown Santa Barbara to State Street....going to go to the stores to get started registering for our wedding...Matt was to fly down the next day so we could do that together....finding all the stores closed and not understanding why....
Calling Matt in frustration, and he let me know his flight had been canceled. "Why? Because of one plane crash? It is not like this hasn't happened before!" Feeling very frustrated and annoyed!
Heading back to the Smelleys....watching more TV....starting to understand what had happened....
Out to XC practice, running and chatting with the girls about the events of that morning.... processing with them.....
Stretching out after our run and realizing how weird it was to not see a single plane in the sky....
Feeling unsafe in our country for the first time ever....feeling like anything like this could happen at anytime, any where.....full of fear.....
Watching, hearing all the stories of all the hero's of that day and the next couple of days....starting to feel safe again in our country....
We will remember how that day changed us....it helped me look outside my little world, my "to do list" and see the much bigger picture.
