I had just started a new job about three weeks prior to 9/11 and I was getting ready for work (CST). I was listening to the radio and the morning show people stopped being funny and said that a plane had hit one of the towers. I thought it was a joke or something and I walked into my living room and turned on the Today Show. The first tower had just been hit and a woman was talking on the phone who they had connected with the show. She kept saying that a huge commuter plane had hit the building and the Today Show people kept saying that there was no way a plane that big had hit. Then the second one hit and I don't really remember what they did after that. I got to work and heard about the Pentagon and Pennsylvania a little later that morning. Work was totally unproductive and we were all just stunned all day long. My then fiance got home and I felt like I never wanted to let go of him.
