**Sunday Social - 9.11.2011**

Today is the 10-year anniversary of a day that I know I will never forget. I was in 7th grade and to this day, I have never been more scared in my life. My only hope is that somehow the spirit and patriotism all Americans had that day would somehow find its way back to the America of today. It seems like most have forgotten our compassion and unity that day. I know it's still in all of us...so live your life as though you could lose everything in a millisecond...be kind to everyone...in fact, try to go out of your way to be kind to a stranger every day! Today my thoughts are especially with those who have lost friends and family members in those days and the last decade because of the actions taken that day and with all the troops currently deployed (including my husband) fighting to protect us.

And if you didn't catch it...Tina from MOMS CRAZY COOKING started a fun new monthly challenge to find the ultimate recipe for each month's theme. This month was macaroni and cheese. I visited all the blogs that linked up last night and there were so many new macaroni and cheese recipes to try. My kids are going to love me! We are still voting, so please go check out the recipes and vote so we can have the Ultimate Macaroni & Cheese recipe for Wednesday :)
