That September Day Ten Years Ago...

September 11, 2001 is a day to remember.
Twin Towers, Pentagon, and an unfortunate field
all impaled with jetliner planes.
Debris, blood, ash, and papers
were all the eye could see.
News stations receiving report of the attacks.
Playback after playbacks of those
devastating video clips that will permanently linger
in our minds.
Families, friends, work colleagues, new acquaintances
all died that horrendous day.
Firefighters, policemen, EMTs, and volunteers
all risked their lives
to try and save another.
Most didn’t make it out alive,
but they died with honor and will
never be forgotten. 
People had feelings about the planes,
so they didn’t board and later realized
fate had stepped in.
Al Qaeda had more plans…
They would have destroyed
our entire country if given the chance.
One sick minded man who trained the radicals
that high jacked the planes
to leave our nation so distraught. 
Young men and women sent off to war,
leaving their families with the thought
of them possibly not returning.
It is still happening today,
the unannounced threats, living uneasy, and the War on Terror.
Some days will never be forgotten,
and this is one.
We will tell our children about
those tall buildings in New York City,
that 5 sided building in Arlington County, Virginia,
and all the innocent people who lost their lives
because of that radical group
from the Middle East.
Despite differences in beliefs,
our country was brought together
to grieve these horrific attacks.
September 11, 2001 is a day to remember… Forever.

Labor Day Weekend- Sept. 9, 2011

Newscast... But more like a Police Report!
The weekend of September 4, 2011 a group of senior girls gathered at the local Grand Hotel and Restaurant.  Ruby Pauli, Kristyn Arlian, Brooke Comber, Lindi DeMars, and Shelby Arant ate dinner, conversed, and made plans for the remainder of the night.  These plans included Ruby Pauli, Kristyn Arlian, and Lindi DeMars walking around town and purchasing F'Real Milkshakes from the Fort.  These young ladies then decided to sit on the bench in front of City Hall on McLeod Street.  While sitting there, a strange man about the age of 50, tried to give Ruby Pauli, Kristyn Arlian, and Lindi DeMars dresses, steak, his son, and tequila. This man was also reportedly seen at the IGA talking to other young ladies.  He appeared to be intoxicated.  Those three girls later met up with Shelby Arant again at Cottonwood Cinema.  Also mingling with these girls was Branden Timm and Cory Arestad.  The girls were apparently questioning Cory Arestad about his recent whereabouts since he is new to Big Timber.  Later joining them was Brian Brost, a friend that also attended Sweet Grass County High School.  The group then moved to Ruby Pauli's house where they got into Lindi DeMars's car and proceeded to her home where she was getting a sweatshirt.  The young ladies then took Cory Arestad, Branden Timm, and Brian Brost to the Fort where they met up with Reese Halverson to go to Reed Point for Sheep Drive to be chauffeurs.  Ruby Pauli, Kristyn Arlian, and Lindi DeMars then went back to Ruby Pauli's house where her mother was to talk with her.  Shelby Arant met up with the girls, again, and following this event went to Kristyn Arlian's house to have a small gathering with a fire.  This fire lasted until about 11:30 when everyone went home. No suspicious activity was suspected from the evidence given, but previous suspicions did arise.

Laughed Until I Cried- September 2, 2011

The last time I laughed until I cried was while I was in Pensacola, Florida.  One night Conner, Lindi, Hugh, Logan, Pierce, Will and I were sitting around wanting something to do.  Lindi, Logan and I all wanted to watch a scary movie, so we talked the boys into going to the closest Tom Thumb and renting a movie at the oh-so-wonderful Red Box! (Which Lindi and I were earlier informed was the only way to rent movies there... Weird!) Since Conner and Pierce both hate scary movies, we decided we should send Hugh with just to make sure they followed our instructions in selecting a movie. We didn't want to get stuck watching a comedy we had all already seen or some action movie.  When the boys got back after about half an hour, to a gas station that was 5 minutes away, they returned had rented "Insidious", even though Will and Logan had both seen it. We started watching it and Conner immediately went straight to a website that told him everything that happened in the movie... LAME! Everyone else was still pretty jumpy at certain parts.  After we were finished watching the movie, Conner went to his room.  Lindi and I decided we would head to our room and get ready for bed.  So we went walking down the hall, Lindi was first and I was right behind her. Little did we know that Conner was waiting to scare us!  First Lindi saw him standing there and calmly walked right past him, then there was me... I knew he was standing there, but what I didn't know was that he was wearing a cape and SUPER scary mask!  When I saw him, I screamed and ran down the hall toward the game room, but I didn't make it too far because he had scared me so bad that I was laughing and could barely move.  Everyone thought I was crying, which I kind of was, but it's a obviously a different kind of laugh. I guess it's better that I was laughing and not crying... That is the last time I laughed until I cried.
