Today after school, Sully settled at the kitchen table and, unprompted, opened up 2 math workbooks. An hour and a half later, Sully had completed both books!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Just when I thought his math was done for the day, he proceeded to bring his addition and subtraction flashcards to the table where P&F were studying. Big Brothers finished their work and then helped Sully study as well.</div>

After everyone had left, and Gill put Sully to sleep, I grabbed Patrick and Finnegan & we bundled up and headed outside. It was 11pm, the moon was shining, and the roads were sheets of ice.

It was truly magical.</div>

The boys helped me with our Thanksgiving table. They made place cards for all our guests, and inside each one they wrote a reason they are thankful for that person. It made for such a special dinner, and everyone enjoyed reading and sharing what the boys wrote.</div>

At mile 7 I looked up and saw a giant Minion balloon ahead of me. I knew what that meant, my family was there cheering!! It was awesome to see the kids with their signs, Mom & Dad and Gill (who was ready to refuel my belt, and help me prepare for the miles ahead). </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
After seeing them at 7, I felt energized and ready to conquer the rest of the race. It was a beautiful day and was having a great pace. I saw them again at mile 12.5 - the minion balloon beckoning. I stopped for a hug, a refill of water and more motivation. Then, I also said goodbye to Mom, Dad and Patrick - as they were taking Patrick to his soccer tournament.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I won't lie, things got hard around mile 18. My pace slowed and things began to ache. But, I knew that Gill, Finn and Sully were at 19, so that helped a lot! With final hugs, water refills, extra fuel and a bit of advil, I went out to conquer the last 7 miles. It wasn't easy but the crowds were awesome, the police cheered me on and I knew who was at the finish line waiting for me. </div>

Today Gill and I celebrated our 14th Wedding Anniversary.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
While the kids were in school, we treated ourselves to a special lunch at a french bistro - reminiscent of our honeymoon. It was wonderful to have a slow morning together and have some special quiet time, just the two of us.</div>

Guess what happens when Sully shows up to his first soccer practice and there is no coach?</div>

He worked so hard, using the kitchen aide by himself, measuring all the ingredients and, aside from the oven, Finn really did it all himself. He even reaped he rewards of the delicious batter covered whisk!</div>

How about Always Remember?<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I know what's coming tomorrow, Facebook flooded with pictures of the Towers and American Flags. Everyone reminding everyone else to "Never Forget". As if I had a choice. I always remember</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<b>I always remember</b> the first time I went up to the 99th Floor of the tower, pressed my face up to the glass and looked down below. So proud of the job I had achieved, so in awe of where I was standing and so in love with the view I looked down upon.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<b>I will never forget</b> watching them jump. Never. I think about the horror they were experiencing, where jumping to their death was a better option than the horrors that were happening right then and there. On the floor where we worked.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<b>I always remember</b> the elevator rides. Taking the express elevator - the speed in which it rushed us 2/3 of the way up the tower to the local elevators. I remember how the elevators used to shake when it was windy outside and how newbies would panic if it shook or slowed down. I remember how my mom, with her fear of elevators, decided not to brave the ride when she and dad came to visit my office. How right she was.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<b>I will never forgot</b> the elevators plummeting to the ground. People being trapped inside, the lucky few (like my former boss) that made it out alive, but most who fought a losing battle inside an elevator that was supposed to soar you to the sky, not drop you to your death.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<b>I will always</b> remember the skyline. I adored that skyline. Gill and I would be in the car, and I would see the towers from across the Hudson. As dorky as it was, I would always yell "Hi Work!" Every time. I just couldn't get enough of the towers, their powerful stance at the end of Manhattan, I loved them. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<b>I will never forget</b> the smoke. Watching from New Jersey as my beloved towers burned. I couldn't even see the remnants, all I could see was the smoke. I will never forget being grateful that it was rainy and foggy the night of our wedding. I had chosen that reception site because of the view, but only 2 weeks after that fateful day, I didn't want my guests spending the night looking at the burning graveyard of our destroyed skyline.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<b>I will always remember</b> the relationships that were formed there. A Jersey Girl and a Brooklyn Babe forged a lifelong friendship on the 99th Floor. We raced down the elevators every day to grab lunch, a french martini, or a few pairs of shoes before heading back up to our offices in the sky. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<b>I will never forget</b> that we are the lucky ones. So many of our friends and colleagues were not graced with the same fate. So many of them were there that morning, so many of them lost their lives. Perhaps we had guardian angels, perhaps it was fate, but I will never forget how blessed I am to be here. To have my husband, to have my children, to have my best friend - to have a future with all of them. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Tomorrow, don't worry that I've forgotten, because I always remember.</div>
