What Were You Doing?

I remember exactly what I was doing 7 years ago today. I was in my 2nd semester at BYU-Idaho and I was getting ready for classes. One of my roommates had the TV on and I could hear it so I went out to the living room. I couldn't believe what I was watching, I actually thought it wasn't real. After a minute I realized that I was watching the news, not a TV show. I don't think it really hit me how big this was. I felt like I was in a bubble because what happened had taken place so far away and didn't affect me personally, loss wise. Even now I can't imagine how it feels to be one of those people who lost loved ones in the attacks, but I have so much respect for people who serve our country and sacrifice for my freedom.
